Wednesday, August 2, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Family of homicide victim sues COCC PORTLAND (AP) — The family of an Oregon homi- cide victim has filed a federal lawsuit against the commu- nity college that employed the man charged in the crime. Police say Edwin Lara kidnapped Kaylee Sawyer in July 2016 while working as a campus safety officer at Central Oregon Community College. The lawsuit filed Monday, July 24, in Eugene asserts the woman accepted a ride from Lara, believing he was a police officer she could trust. Instead, she became trapped in a patrol car equipped with a cage and doors that wouldn’t open from the inside. The lawsuit alleges the college failed to do an ade- quate background check on Lara and was negligent in providing officers with uni- forms and vehicles made to resemble police. Lara and three campus officials are also listed as defendants. Lara has pleaded not guilty to murder and other crimes. 9 Study: Art show features acrylic artist Charles H.
