District Attorney Rob Patridge said the case against William Jack Parkerson, 30, and his girlfriend, Karey Leigh Pascoe, 33, would go to a grand jury next week, and they would be arraigned Sept. 8.
“It’s very disturbing that we’ve had two violent shootings against police officers in one week in Southern Oregon: one in Medford where shots were fired, and in Klamath Falls where a deputy was shot,” Patridge said.
Patridge said Pascoe was in a 1989 black Jeep Cherokee with Parkerson at the time of the shooting. A third person in the jeep, identified by authorities as Christopher Holmgren, was held on a probation violation for associating with felons but was not charged in the shooting.
The Jeep was found near Rocky Point on the western shore of Upper Klamath Lake. Parkerson and Pascoe were arrested Thursday morning on the other side of the lake outside Chiloquin, a small town about 20 miles north of Klamath Falls.
