Washington Co. Sheriff's Office In May of 2021, Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to reports of a sex abuse case that took place near a hospital in Portland. The victim reported that she was sexually abused by 58-year-old Jerry Nesseth, of Tigard, back in 2019. Mr. Nesseth was originally arrested in this case on May 12, 2021 for sex abuse in the third degree, but has since been indicted on sex abuse in the first degree, a Measure 11 crime. Mr. Nesseth knew his victim through his work with a local church and most recently has worked as a “rafting missionary” with an organization called Oregon Adventure Ministries. Deputies are concerned that Mr. Nesseth has had contact with several young women through this ministry and are asking any other victims to report any abuse to law enforcement. Anyone with information about this case or any other potential victims, please contact the Washington County Sheriff’s Office at 503-629-0111. Case No. 50-21-6672

Lane Co. Sheriff's Office At approximately 10:54am, 31 year old Austin Kane Waszkiewicz, surrendered to deputies after six hours of negotiation.  Waszkiewicz is reported to have struck a family member in the head with a firearm in Coburg just prior to the stand-off.  Shortly after the assault authorities were able to make phone contact with Waszkiewicz and determine his location.  Waszkiewicz was observed with a blue Chevrolet pickup stopped in a gravel pull-out at the intersection of Diamond Hill Rd. and Powerline Rd. in Harrisburg, armed with a firearm.  Waszkiewicz refused to surrender and made statements that he intended to provoke deputies into an armed confrontation. Utilizing armored rescue vehicles acquired at no cost from the Federal 1033 program, deputies were able to safely contain the scene and keep Waszkiewicz from harming anyone else.  The use of these armored rescue vehicles allowed deputies much needed time to negotiate with Waszkiewicz and de-escalate the situation

Lebanon Fire District Lebanon firefighters and water rescue technicians rescued a stranded dog from the Albany-Lebanon canal behind the Lebanon Rite Aid store on Sunday evening. Citizens Lucas Kledziniski and Riley Swanson were walking by the canal when they noticed the dog stranded on a piling support of the railroad trestle between Main Street and Park Street. The Lebanon Police Department was called and contacted the fire district at 8:16 p.m. Firefighters arrived shortly after and determined that personnel would need to enter the water to rescue the dog, who appeared to have an injured front leg. A rescue unit was dispatched so that firefighters could don protective dry suits, personal flotation devices, and helmets before entering the water. Two additional firefighters were staged on the canal bank beneath the Park Street bridge to act as downstream safeties in the event that a rescuer was carried downstream. Lieutenant Michael Maynard and Engineer Corey Knipstein crossed the cana
