WHEATLAND - A Dayton man was arrested Friday on multiple charges following a high-speed single-vehicle crash south of Wheatland Road on Wallace Road.

Jonathan Romero Alcantara, 25, was charged with one count each of second-degree criminal mischief, third-degree assault, fourth-degree assault, driving under the influence of intoxicants and reckless driving, in addition to two counts of recklessly endangering another person. He was booked into the Yamhill County Jail on $37,500 bail, but posted the required 10 percent to secure his release.

About 3 a.m., Alcantara was driving northbound in a 2014 Audi sedan at a high rate of speed when he lost control on a corner.

The vehicle left the roadway and traveled about 200 yards along the ditch line. It struck a tree, powerpole and highway sign before coming to rest in the middle of the highway after rolling several times.

Alcantara and two passengers were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. The passengers were not identified.
