Murder Suspect Refuses To Leave Cell For Arraignment

The man charged in a late Wednesday night murder in The Dalles refused to come out of his cell to enter NORCOR’s video courtroom for arraignment in Wasco County Circuit Court this afternoon.  Wasco County District Attorney Matthew Ellis says 32-year-old Jacob David Wilson is charged with second degree murder, two counts of unlawful use of a weapon, assault in the fourth degree, and menacing.  Ellis says Wilson is alleged to have stabbed Amber Tracey with a kitchen knife at a home in The Dalles.  Tracey was taken to Mid-Columbia Medical Center, where she was pronounced deceased.  He added Wilson is accused of assaulting his mother, Tamera Viers, striking her with a coffee can and attacking her with a knife.  Bail was set for Wilson at $1,000,000 bond, and arraignment was rescheduled for Friday.  Ellis said to the best of law enforcement’s knowledge, there is no connection between this case and the investigation into the March 17 murder of 35-year Amanda Harmon in the Cherry Heights area.  The Columbia Gorge Major Crimes team, which consists of The Dalles and Hood River Police Departments, Wasco, Hood River, and Sherman County Sheriff’s Offices, and the Oregon State Police, was activated for this investigation.
