Repeat Offender Held Accountable In Multiple Marion County Cases - 11/09/26

State of Oregon v. Artemio Carrillo-Calmo

Marion County Circuit Court Case 26CR35840, 26CR18238, 22CR44873 and 18CR41208

Repeat Offender Held Accountable in Multiple Marion County Cases

Salem, OR – November 9, 2026, On November 5, Marion County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Hart sentenced Artemio Carrillo-Calmo (age 30) to 18 months in the Department of Corrections (DOC), followed by 180 days in the Marion County Jail, for a total of 24 months incarceration. Carillo-Calmo pled guilty to Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants (DUII) as a felony, two counts of DUII as a misdemeanor, two counts of Assault in the Fourth Degree, two counts of Recklessly Endangering Another Person, Animal Abuse in the First Degree, Possession of a Forged Instrument in the Second Degree, and Giving False Information to a Police Officer.

In addition to serving time in prison, Carrillo-Calmo is prohibited from possessing or residing with a domestic animal for five years, his driver’s license has been permanently revoked, and he will be under post-prison supervision for 12 months.

After two prior DUII convictions resolved in a single 2016 case, in May of 2018 in Woodburn, Carrillo-Calmo intentionally rear-ended a vehicle occupied by his ex-girlfriend, damaging the car. He was eventually arrested and released and subsequently failed to appear at his appointed court date.

In September 2022, Woodburn police responded to a 911 call of what was believed to be a child screaming. Instead of an injured child, when they arrived on scene they found Carillo-Calmo choking a small dog on railroad tracks. The extent of the dogs injuries were significant and as a result it was humanely euthanized. Carrillo-Calmo was arrested but failed to appear at a subsequent hearing for the case. A warrant was issued for his arrest.

In March 2026, Carrillo-Calmo crashed into three other vehicles and injured his passenger while again driving intoxicated. His passenger was taken to the hospital. Two other victims, in a vehicle struck by Carrillo-Calmo, were trapped upside down in their car as a result of the accident. During that investigation, Carrillo-Calmo gave officers a false name and a forged ID. 

Unfortunately, he was released from custody again on this charge.

On July 3, 2026, police responded to a report of an impaired driver near Parr Road and S. Boones Ferry Road. The vehicle Carrillo-Calmo was driving was seen swerving into oncoming traffic, nearly colliding with two pedestrians. Upon stopping the Carrillo-Calmo, officers found multiple open beer containers in the vehicle and observed that Carrillo-Calmo was visibly intoxicated. He was arrested and taken into custody.

Under Oregon law (ORS 813.011), a third DUII within ten years is a Class C felony, punishable with a mandatory minimum of 90 days in jail. DUII convictions are not eligible to be set aside (expunged) under ORS 137.225, even if a diversion program is completed and the DUII was dismissed.

The state requested the maximum sentence allowed under law, which was 18 months in DOC and an additional 679 days (remaining incarceration from his previous DUIIs) in Marion County Jail.

The cases were prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Katharine Semple. The Marion County District Attorney’s Office thanks the hard-working officers and investigators of the Woodburn Police Department.

Marion County Holds Armed Felon Accountable - 10/28/26

State of Oregon v. Pedro Manuel Cisneros

Marion County Circuit Court Case 25CR33577

Marion County Holds Armed Felon Accountable

Salem, OR – October 28, 2026 – On October 23, 2026, Marion County Circuit Court Judge Sean Armstrong sentenced Pedro Manuel Cisneros, age 23, to 81 months in the Department of Corrections. Following a bench trial, Cisneros was found guilty of Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Recklessly Endangering Another Person, Attempted Assault in the First Degree with a Firearm, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Obliterating a Firearm ID Number, and Unlawful Possession of Cocaine.

The convictions stem from events that occurred in June 2025. Salem Police responded to a report of gunfire near King Street and Liberty Road in South Salem. Surveillance footage showed Cisneros standing near Liberty Road South and firing multiple rounds from a handgun at a passing vehicle. Cisneros then fled the scene in a vehicle.

After a warrant was issued, Cisneros’ vehicle was located and searched. Detectives found more than 15 grams of cocaine and a loaded handgun with obliterated serial numbers. The ammunition in the gun matched the casings found at the scene of the shooting.

Cisneros was identified by law enforcement as a known member of a gang and was on probation at the time of the shooting.

The court found Cisneros not guilty for Attempted Murder in the Second Degree.

Based on the offenses, the state asked for the maximum available sentence of 160 months in the Department of Corrections.

“Gun violence is a focus for this office and we will prosecute gun violence aggressively,” said District Attorney Brendan Murphy. “We will seek significant sentences for convictions involving unlawful criminal activity with firearms, especially shootings and possession by felons.”

The Marion County District Attorney’s Office wishes to thank the Salem Police Department for its thorough investigation, particularly the detectives within the Strategic Investigation Unit. They consistently demonstrate thorough, quality investigations that assist in assuring prosecutions.

Officers’ Quick Response Protected Victim; Defendant Held Accountable For June Incident - 10/16/26

State of Oregon v. Jose Luis Anguiano

Marion County Circuit Court Case 26CR32460

Officers’ Quick Response Protected Victim; Defendant Held Accountable for June Incident

Salem, OR – October 16, 2026, Earlier today, Marion Court Circuit Court Judge Manuel Perez sentenced Jose Anguiano (age 35) to 36 months supervised probation. Anguiano pled guilty to one count of Coercion (C felony) and two counts of Menacing (misdemeanors). Conditions include drug treatment and he was instructed to have no contact with the victims.

Anguiano was lodged in the Marion County jail since June 16, 2026, and if Anguiano does not comply with the conditions of his probation, he could face a sentence of 31-36 months in prison.

The conviction is related to events that occurred on June 11, 2026, in which Salem police officers responded to reports that a woman was being held at gunpoint. Officers located the victim, who was able to get to safety with their help. While assisting the victim, two Salem Police officers had what appeared to be a firearm weapon pointed at them. Salem Police Seargeant Jason Donner fired his weapon at Anguiano, hitting him one time.

On June 18, 2026, a Marion County Grand Jury unanimously found that Salem Police Sergeant Jason Donner was justified in his use of deadly physical force during the incident and indicted Anguiano. A more detailed recitation of that incident can be found in the original press release (below).

Under Oregon law, Anguiano’s air pistol is not considered to be a firearm for the purpose of criminal charges. That limitation, as well as other evidence concerns, resulted in the sentence announced today.

Deputy District Attorney Shannon Sullivan represented the state in this case. The Marion County District Attorney’s Office wishes to thank multiple local partners for their investigation, specifically the Oregon State Police, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and the Keizer Police Department.

GRAND JURY UNANIMOUSLY FINDS SALEM OFFICER JUSTIFIED IN JUNE 11, 2026 USE OF FORCE INCIDENT. SUSPECT INDICTED. (PHOTO)

News Release from Marion Co. Dist. Attorney's Office
Posted on FlashAlert: June 18th, 2026 7:18 PM

June 18, 2026 - Today, a Marion County Grand Jury unanimously found that Salem Police Sergeant Jason Donner was justified in his use of deadly physical force in an incident on June 11, 2026.    

The Grand Jury heard from 12 Witnesses including the involved officers as well as Detectives from the Oregon State Police and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and civilian witnesses.  They further reviewed numerous pieces of evidence including 911 calls, scene photographs and diagrams, body worn camera footage and other physical evidence. The Grand Jury heard the following evidence:

On June 11, 2026, at approximately 7:30 a.m., Salem Police Officers responded to an area near 3371 Portland Rd NE in Salem in response to a 911 hang up call. Upon a return call from dispatch, the caller was slow to respond, and a female could be heard possibly crying. While responding, officers were further informed that a second caller reported that a female was being held at gunpoint in a tent at the location. 

Salem Sergeant Jason Donner responded to the location along with Officer Chad Galusha and Officer Andrew Hockman.  Oregon State Trooper Adrian Steeley also responded. They began to patrol the railroad tracks east of Portland Road on foot to listen for indicators of the incident. While doing so, Sergeant Donner and Officer Galusha heard what they believed to be a female cry “help”.  They quickly made their way toward the sound of the voice and near the northwest corner of an undeveloped and overgrown lot adjacent to the south side of Ventura Foods at 3371 Portland Rd NE. This general area is known for homeless encampments and related activity. 

Officer Hockman then heard something on the opposite side of the fence in an overgrown area and Sergeant Donner heard a female voice, which sounded like whimpering. He also heard an angry male voice in the same area. Knowing the report included a female being held at gunpoint, Sergeant Donner and Officer Galusha entered the fenced area with their guns drawn.  Officer Hockman and Trooper Steeley remained outside the fenced area, also with guns drawn.  

Sergeant Donner and Officer Galusha approached a tent.  Sergeant Donner could see movement and heard a male voice in the thick foliage on the lot. Officer Galusha called out, “Salem Police, show me your hands.” A male subject, later identified as Jose Luis Anguiano (35 years), stood up from behind a bush with both arms raised and something in his hands pointed toward Officer Galusha who continued to yell commands as he could not clearly see the item held by Anguiano due to the overgrown foliage. Anguiano then turned toward Sergeant Donner who could see that Anguiano was pointing what appeared to be a handgun at him.  Sergeant Donner fired three rounds at Anguiano who fell out of view.  A female victim was then able to crawl to safety and was assisted by law enforcement.

Anguiano did not emerge from the overgrown area, despite commands to do so.  For the safety of the officers as well as anyone else in the area, SWAT personnel arrived and were able to reach Anguiano who had non-life-threatening wounds.  He was treated by medics and transported to Salem Hospital. He was released and lodged at the Marion County Jail on June 14, 2026. 

An investigation followed led by the Oregon State Police at the direction of the Marion County District Attorney’s Office consistent with Marion County’s Senate Bill 111 protocol. A CO2 air pistol was found near Anguiano. No markings on the air pistol indicated that it was not a real firearm. Under Oregon law, this type of air pistol is not considered to be a firearm for the purpose of criminal charges.  [See photo of the pistol attached.] 

Sergeant Donner is a 21-year veteran of the Salem Police Department and is a member of the Domestic Violence Response Team.

Pursuant to Oregon Revised Statute 161.242 (in relevant part), an officer is justified in using deadly force if the officer reasonably believes, under all the circumstances, that Anguiano posed an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to the officers or other people and that the force was necessary to:

• defend the officers or other people from death or serious physical injury

The Grand Jury's decision today required a review of all the facts and evidence available to it and application of that evidence to the legal principles outlined above.  The Marion County Grand Jury unanimously determined that the actions of Salem Sergeant Donner were justified. The Grand Jury further found that Sergeant Donner had no reasonable opportunity to use any alternative force options or de-escalation techniques given how quickly the incident unfolded.  

The same grand jury that found Sergeant Donner justified in his use of deadly physical force, also indicted Jose Luis Anguiano on charges of Coercion Constituting Domestic Violence, 2 Counts of Assault 4 Constituting Domestic Violence, and 4 Counts of Menacing. He will be arraigned on the Indictment on June 29^th at 8:30am at the Marion County Circuit Court Annex.  

Marion County District Attorney Paige Clarkson stated:

“We are well-served by law enforcement in this community.  I am grateful that the officers who willingly put themselves in danger to protect others on this day returned home safely.  My gratitude to them and to the grand jury who thoroughly and thoughtfully reviewed this matter.”

Anguiano had 34 prior arrests at the time of the incident including convictions for multiple counts of Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Attempted Assault in the Fourth Degree, Escape in the Second Degree, Burglary in the First Degree, Tampering with a Witness and was on parole at the time of this incident. The Grand Jury did not hear any information related to his prior arrests and criminal convictions.
