One Man In Custody After Monday Altercation

One man is in custody after and one man is in a hospital after a Monday morning incident in the eastern portion of The Dalles.  The Wasco County Sheriff’s Office says officers responded to a report of a burglary and a man with a butcher knife in a home on 2670 East 18th.  Officers found the man had exited the house, but immediately took into custody 35-year-old Lawrence James Berry of The Dalles.  An investigation found Berry had been involved in a physical altercation with another man at 2662 East 18th, and has been charged with Assault I, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and Burglary I.  Berry was transported to the Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facility, and is to be arraigned today and the case will be presented to the grand jury in the near future.  The other man in the altercation, Tipasa Lusuni Uliata, went by himself to Mid-Columbia Medical Center for treatment of head and neck injuries, and then was taken to a Portland hospital for health issues unrelated to the incident.  The Sheriff’s Office says it is unclear at this time what the physical altercation was about and the investigation is ongoing.
