A 26-year-old man accused in the stabbing death of a 71-year-old woman in The Dalles made a brief appearance in Wasco County Circuit Court on Monday by video from NORCOR. Garrett Brennan of The Dalles is charged with murder in the death of Charlene Caldwell on Thursday afternoon. Brennan’s lawyer, Peter Parnickis of Bend, waived the reading of a grand jury indictment. Judge Janet Stauffer scheduled Brennan’s next court appearance for April 25, but Parnickis indicated entry of plea by his client is 60 to 90 days out. Brennan is being held without bail at NORCOR.
