CANYON CITY — A Ukiah man was convicted of one felony and three misdemeanors during a Nov. 25 Grant County Circuit Court hearing in relation to a mid-September shooting incident at Bare Bones Bar in John Day.

Eric Lawhead, 37, was accused of firing two shots inside the West Main Street bar on the night of Sept. 14 before fleeing in his vehicle. In court documents, prosecutors claimed Lawhead struck a parked car and a utility trailer as he left the scene and that he had a blood alcohol level of 0.15%, nearly twice the legal limit for a driver.

No injuries were reported in the incident.

Lawhead’s convictions came following guilty pleas to one count of unlawful use of a weapon, a Class C felony, plus two counts of failure to perform the duties of a driver resulting in property damage and one count of pointing a firearm at another, all of which are misdemeanors.

A charge of driving under the influence of intoxicants was diverted and a second charge of unlawful use of a weapon was dismissed. A menacing charge was removed from the charging instrument, according to court documents.

Lawhead was sentenced to 30 days in the Grant County Jail with credit for time served, $250 in fines and 36 months of supervised probation for the charge of unlawful use of a weapon.

As special conditions of his probation, he must complete 80 hours of community service or work crew time, have no contact with the victim, and stay out of Bare Bones and other bars. He is also prohibited from possessing weapons.

Lawhead received a 90-day driver’s license suspension and 12 months of bench probation for the charges of failure to perform the duties of a driver leading to property damage.

Lawhead was fined $500 for the charge of pointing a weapon at another and was ordered to pay $490 in diversion fees for the charge of driving while under the influence of intoxicants. He will enter a one-year diversion program where he must obtain a drug and alcohol assessment and complete any treatment required, install an ignition interlock device if ordered and refrain from using alcohol or drugs while in the diversion program.

Lawhead’s probation sentences will run concurrent to one another. He will remain on court-supervised probation until November of 2027.
