Lt. Bill Fugate says the car rolled multiple times, ejecting the driver — 64-year-old Robert Johnson of Bend. He died at the scene late Sunday afternoon. Johnson was alone in the car, and no other vehicles got caught up in the crash. The investigation remains active, but police say speed was a contributing factor. Highway 97 was closed for 30 minutes and reduced to one lane for several hours. 2I¿FHUVVD\PDQ choked police dog SALEM (AP) — Author- ities in Salem say a man was arrested for choking a police dog nearly to the point of unconsciousness. Salem Police Sgt. Tony Moore says the man was treated for dog bites Saturday, and the dog was taken to a veterinary hospital. The incident began when of¿cers responded to reports of a man acting strange and going up to houses. Of¿cers arrived and learned the man had an arrest warrant. Moore tells the Statesman Journal that the man Àed and was chased by a police dog. The man fought the dog until three of¿cers were able to subdue him. Of¿cer Debbie Aguilar says the dog, Duke, received no major injuries. Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.

The city announced the spill on Friday. It happened Wednesday as workers were cleaning and doing maintenance on the sewer system in the area. The Democrat Herald reports that workers dislodged plugs in old sewer lines that drain into the river, releasing sewage for about two to three hours. City wastewater superintendent Kristin Preston says crews immediately plugged the old lines to prevent more sewage from spilling. Signs have been posted to warn the public of potential hazards of coming in contact with the water. The city says bacteria that may have entered the river should be Àushed out of the area within a few days.

A state report issued last week found a 10-percent increase in the number of investigations conducted into the abuse and mistreatment of vulner- able people. That includes older adults and people with disabilities. Some of the increase is due to more reporting, researcher -oe Merri¿eld of the Oregon Of¿ce of Adult Abuse Prevention and Investigations told the Statesman Journal. In 2014, more than 38,000 cases of possible abuse were reported, up from 35,000 in 2013. In both years, the most common type of abuses were ¿nancial e[ploitation and neglect. The number of cases that were investigated rose 10 percent to 18,185. Many of the abuse reports come from people such as bankers and ¿nancial service workers who are not required by law to report suspected abuse. Census data shows that since 2010, more than 50,000 Oregon residents have turned 5 annually, Merri¿eld said. The annual growth of aging baby boomers is e[pected to continue for another decade, adding nearly 300,000 older adults to the state’s population. “Obviously, not everyone over 65 is vulnerable,” Merri- ¿eld said. “Many are living longer, healthier lives, but it’s likely we’ll continue to see an increase in the number of cases reported as well as the number of cases investigated and the number of vulnerable adults abused as a result.” Rebecca Fetters, the quality assurance and preven- tion coordinator at OAAPI, said ¿nancial e[ploitation tends to be more common in the community, where vulnerable adults might be isolated in their homes and not have family or other social support systems nearby.
