At about 8:30 a.m. SPD officers were called to the residence at 856 S. 67th St. regarding a domestic dispute. Misty Motley was advising she had been assaulted and threatened by her husband, Johnny Motley. She stated her husband is a war veteran who suffers PTSD, had many weapons in the residence, and was possibly still armed with a pistol in a holster.
Misty Motley left the residence and contacted responding officers. She appeared to have facial injuries from the assault. Officers surrounded the house and attempted to communicate with the male. It was learned that he may have left out the back of the residence upon learning police were called and may be on foot in the area.

A responding SPD Detective spotted the male in the 6300 block of Forest Ridge and he was taken into custody without incident. He was not armed when taken into custody. Misty Motley was initially checked by Springfield Fire medics and was transported to the hospital by a relative for treatment of her injuries.

SPD first in Oregon to offer SmartPhone App
The Springfield Police Department is pleased to announce the availability of a new Police iPhone and Android application for the citizens of Springfield. The app named “My Police Department” or “MyPD” is available now for free in the iTunes & Android marketplace.
This app includes features for checking on the latest news, social media postings, directions, department contacts, submitting feedback, questions, department surveys, crime tips and more.
The app is available to the public free of charge. The app is also free of any advertisements or pop ups.
All of the forms can be sent anonymously to the department, though we encourage an email address or phone number if you would like a response. Users also have the ability to upload photos and GPS information with the app forms (for example a parking issue, graffiti complaint, etc).
