Anthony King Enriquez of Ukiah faces the charge of first-degree manslaughter for the crash last month that killed Joshua Kenneth Herrig of Heppner.

Morrow County District Attorney Justin Nelson said his office on Monday arraigned Enriquez on that preliminary charge plus reckless driving and driving under the influence of intoxicants (alcohol).

Nelson also said he plans to take the case to a grand jury for an indictment. If the grand jury hands up a true bill, he said, he would arraign Enriquez next Monday afternoon on those charges.

Enriquez, 42, was driving a 1999 Dodge pickup north on Highway 74 near Lexington the evening of March 21 when he lost control and the vehicle rolled several times, Oregon State Police reported. Enriquez suffered non-life threatening injuries, but the crash ejected Herrig, the lone passenger, who died at the scene. He was 35.

State police at the time reported, “Alcohol, speed and safety restraints are being considered as factors in this crash.”

Nelson said the OSP investigation culminated Friday with Enriquez’s arrest at his home in Ukiah. Troopers booked him into the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton. Nelson said Circuit Court Judge Dan Hill set bail in the case at $250,000.

Court records show Enriquez has convictions in 2016 in Umatilla County for driving while suspended and driving uninsured and in years past for other driving offenses. He also has convictions starting in 1994 for second-degree burglary, fourth-degree assault and drug possession.
