DALLAS (OR) – Daniel Ray Myers, 63, has been sentenced to serve 130 months (10 years, 10 months) in prison for stabbing and assaulting a Salem woman multiple times in February of 2026. Myers, originally of Dallas, was sentenced by Polk County Circuit Judge Rafael A. Caso, after pleading guilty to Attempted Murder and Assault in the First Degree. He will also be required to serve a 36-month term of Post-Prison Supervision upon his release. Myers has prior convictions for murder, unlawful possession of weapons, and supplying contraband.
Judge Caso sentenced Myers pursuant to Oregon’s Ballot Measure 11 minimum mandatory sentencing law, which means he will not be eligible for any early release or other program that would result in a reduction of his sentence. Myers initially fled to California where he was apprehended through a coordinated law enforcement operation and extradited back to Oregon.
The case was prosecuted by Polk County Deputy District Attorney Shannon Clausen. The DA’s Office commends the victim for her resilience throughout the case, in particular her strong statement at sentencing. We also recognize the thorough investigations of the Salem Police Department and California Highway Patrol.
