1-29-2010 Oregon:A Shady Cove man has been charged with attempted murder after he allegedly beat an acquaintance in the head with a crowbar Monday evening.
On Thursday afternoon, a Jackson County grand jury indicted Julian Martin Tallman, 43, of the 400 block of Sarma Drive in Shady Cove, on charges of attempted murder, second-degree assault, first-degree burglary and menacing.
He remained in the Jackson County Jail, where he was lodged after Monday's attack. Bail is set at $250,000, Jackson County Circuit Court records show.
The assault was reported shortly after 5 p.m. Monday when the 54-year-old Trail man who was beaten ran out of a Trail home calling for help, said Jackson County Sheriff's Department Lt. Rich Fogarty.
Deputies and Shady Cove police responded to a home in the 23600 block of Highway 62 in Trail and found the victim with numerous cuts and bruises on his head and legs, as well as injuries to his hands and arms from trying to protect himself, Fogarty said.
