ENTERPRISE — An Enterprise man accused of hiding in the bed of his ex-girlfriend’s truck, riding to her house without her knowledge and then assaulting her has pleaded guilty to seven criminal counts, including three felonies, and has been sentenced to four years in prison.

Skyler Ray Easley, 36, pleaded guilty in Wallowa County Circuit Court on Jan. 19 to felony charges of burglary in the first degree, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and strangulation. The burglary and strangulation charges involved an incident of domestic violence.

Easley also pleaded guilty to four misdemeanors: being a felon in possession of a restricted weapon, assault in the fourth degree, menacing, and unlawful entry into a motor vehicle. The assault and menacing charges involved an incident of domestic violence.

At his plea hearing before Circuit Court Judge Robert Raschio, Easley admitted that on Sept. 1, 2023, he hid in the bed of his former girlfriend’s truck while she was at work and then rode to her house without her knowledge. He then entered her house without her permission to confront her about the end of their relationship.

Prosecutors said that during an argument in the kitchen, Easley hit her in the face, choked her by applying pressure on her neck with both hands, impairing her ability to breathe, and applied pressure on her face until her nose popped and bled, causing her to choke and spit blood.

Easley then followed her into her bathroom, where he pulled a firearm from his waistband and pointed it at her head.

At the time of his arrest, Easley also had a switchblade-style knife on his person. Easley is a convicted felon and was not permitted to possess firearms or other weapons at the time of this incident.

Raschio sentenced Easley to 48 months in prison, followed by three years of supervision. Recommended conditions include no contact with the victim, mental-health counseling, substance-abuse treatment and domestic violence programming, including completion of a Batterer’s Invention Program. Post-prison supervision conditions are set by the Oregon Department of Corrections when an offender is released from prison.

At the time of this incident, Easley was on supervised probation on a previous felony count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. His probation was revoked in that case, and he was sentenced to 19 months in prison, followed by two years of supervision. His sentences are to be served concurrently.

As part of a plea agreement, one felony count (unlawful use of a weapon, with a firearm, constituting domestic violence) and nine related misdemeanor counts were dismissed.
