Prescription Drug Drop-Off Boxes come to multiple Clackamas County locations - 06/06/13
Looking to dispose of unwanted or expired medications? It's now easier than ever -- thanks to convenient new permanent drop-boxes in several Clackamas County locations.

"The Clackamas River Water Providers worked closely with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office to give residents an easy way to keep their medicine cabinets and our water supply clean," said Kim Swan, Water Resource Manager for Clackamas River Water Providers.

Prescription medications are among the most commonly abused drugs -- so it's important to dispose of them safely after they're no longer needed by the patient. "Overdose deaths from prescription opioids rose 400 percent in Oregon from 2000 to 2011," said Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts. "These drop-boxes give us a new tool to help drive those numbers down."

Proper disposal previously wasn't convenient. Flushing pharmaceuticals down the toilet can pollute the water supply, harming local wildlife. Throwing medication in the trash can make it an easy target for thieves. And pharmacists are not allowed to take medications back once they're dispensed.

"We know that in 2010, one in ten youth abused prescription drugs," said Swan, "so it's important to do as much as we can to make these kinds of substances less available."

With the permanent drop boxes, citizens can now dispose of unwanted drugs and medications at any time. No paperwork is required -- just place the medications in the drop box.

Sheriff's Office Marine deputy named regional 'Boating Law Enforcement Officer of the Year' - 06/05/13
Congratulations to Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Deputy Nate Thompson -- who was named "Boating Law Enforcement Officer of the Year" by the 2013 Western States Boating Administrators Association (WSBAA).

He is the first deputy from Oregon to win the award since 2000.

As the award nomination for Deputy Thompson notes: "He is extremely productive in water patrol, is an Oregon State Marine Board instructor, and actively pursues opportunities to teach boating and water safety education to the community.... [In 2012] Deputy Thompson completed 1,402 documented contacts -- which is over 4% of the entire state total."

In 2011, the Sheriff's Office honored Thompson for his quick thinking as he helped rescue a suicidal subject from the freezing Willamette River. Afterward, he helped debrief the Lake Oswego Police -- inspiring the Lake O officers to start carrying throw-bags.

In 2012, The Oregon State Marine Board named Thompson its "Officer of the Year," which led to his nomination for the regional WSBAA award.

Thompson is now up for a national award from the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA).

Deputy Thompson teaches whitewater jet-boating and drift-boating to other law-enforcement marine teams around the state, in addition to instructing at the State Marine Officer's Academy. He also teaches water-rescue techniques to local search-and-rescue groups and at local schools. He traveled to Flagstaff, Arizona to receive his WSBAA award immediately after teaching at the 2013 Oregon State Marine Board Law Enforcement Academy.

At 2:41 a.m. on Monday, June 3, 2013, Clackmas County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle in the area of SE Oetkin Road and SE Minerva Road in Milwaukie.

Upon arrival, deputies found a red Chevy truck and suspect Tyson Ferral Jones, age 34, in the driver's seat. The back of the truck contained construction equipment.

Jones reportedly initially gave deputies a false name, then gave his real name. Mr. Jones has warrants out of Multnomah, Deschutes, and Baker counties.

After a K9 alerted on the vehicle, deputies searched the truck with Mr. Jones' consent and found methamphetamine, as well as an Oregon license plate out of Seaside under the front seat. Deputies arrested Mr. Jones on a number of charges, detailed below.

Seaside Police later returned the license plate as stolen; the plate had accompanied a gray/silver enclosed trailer containing approximate $41,000 worth of tools. Seaside PD also noted that credit cards stolen from the same area were now being used at multiple Clackamas businesses -- including Coastal Farms, Best Buy, Fred Meyer, and the Clackamas Smoke Shop.

Deputies then contacted Tyson Jones' wife Antoinette Jones at the Comfort Suites on SE McKinley Ave. in Clackamas. Following an interview with her in a hotel room there, deputies recovered the stolen trailer in Gresham, as well as a number of other items -- including a bag of Oregon IDs, iPods, iPads, a Galaxy Note, and much more.

Photos of some of the many recovered items are attached to this release.

The trailer was taken into property, and the Sheriff's Office is working with [CORRECTED] Seaside PD to return stolen items to their rightful owners.

Tyson Ferral Jones is being held in Clackamas County Jail on a wide range of charges -- including Possession of Controlled Substance (Meth -- less than 1 ounce), two counts of first-degree Theft, first-degree Burglary, Probation Violation, and Failure to Appear on a host of additional charges including Interfering with a Police Animal, Unauthorized Use of Vehicle, Possession of a Stolen Vehicle, Eluding a Police Officer, Resisting Arrest, Reckless Driving, fourth-degree Assault, and first-degree Theft.

Deputies respond after trailer-rig crash sends front-loader into barn; no injuries - 05/29/13
At 6:20 a.m. on Wednesday, May 29, 2013, Clackamas County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a non-injury traffic crash in which a semi-tractor trailer rig carrying a heavy front-loader fell off the trailer and onto a vacant barn.

The accident happened on SE Wildcat Mtn. Rd., near SE. Horace Rd. in Sandy, Oregon -- a forested area of Clackamas County.

The driver told deputies that he was pulling the trailer and front-loader when the rear dual tires of the trailer slid off the road -- causing the trailer to slide down an embankment.

The sheer weight of the heavy loader made the trailer slide down the embankment -- snapping the heavy security chains to the loader and causing it to slide off and flip over.

The loader with its extended logging boom smashed through a barn, causing extensive damage. Fortunately, no was hurt during the crash.

Clackamas County Sheriff's Office deputies -- along with the Clackamas County Road Department and Clackamas County Weigh Master -- arrived at the scene to investigate the crash and determine if any load and travel permits were violated. The driver from Greenup Logging Inc. had all the required permits for the vehicle and front-loader.

The crash is still under investigation. Photos from the crash scene are attached.

A caller contacted the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office to report Joanne Tyler, age 27, of Silverton, was overdue from a hiking trip. Volunteer search-and-rescue (SAR) crews located Ms. Tyler in a small cabin off the Hardy Creek trail around 7 this morning (Wednesday, May 29).

On Tuesday May 28, Joanne Tyler, age 27, from Silverton embarked on a day-hike off the Molalla Forest Road in Molalla at the Hardy Creek Trail (Milepost 3). She advised a friend where she would be hiking, and that it was only a day trip.

The friend tried, unsuccessfully to reach Ms. Tyler. After not hearing from her, the friend contacted the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office that evening around midnight.

The Clackamas County Sheriff's Search and Rescue team responded. A SAR operation was initiated in conjunction with Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue volunteers. They began a ground search around 4 a.m.

Searchers located Ms. Tyler in a small shelter known as Annie's Cabin in the forested area. She was safe.

Ms. Tyler had planned on a day hike, and had supplies to last a day. She also had a trail map. At one point in the hike, she was reportedly frightened by an animal, and then lost her trail map as daylight was beginning to fade. As it was dark and she was lost, she decided to spend the night in the shelter.

This website has information about the trail area and photos of the shelter where rescuers found Ms. Tyler:

On Tuesday May 21st at around 9:09 pm Clackamas County Deputies responded to a report of a crash SE Bakers Ferry Rd and HWY 224 in Boring. The crash involved a 1989 Chevrolet Corvette and a power pole.

Boring Fire, AMR, and PGE crews responded to the scene and are currently working to restore power and rescue the driver. The crash has left more than 2000 customers in the area without power.

The driver, who had just purchased the Corvette earlier today, lost control of the vehicle and left the roadway, striking a power pole. The fallen power lines prevented the driver from being extracted from the vehicle for more than one hour until PGE crews could assure his safety.

The driver, Ethan Cross 42 from Battle Ground, Washington was not injured as a result of the crash. Mr. Cross was cited and released for Reckless Driving.

Speed and acceleration appear to have been factors in the crash. The crash investigation is ongoing.
