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.
