Portland Man Confesses
To Food Chain Extortion
PORTLAND (AP) A 26-year
"W man gave himself up to police
for queHtioning Tuesday, and six
hours later was charged with
attempting to extort 110,000
from a local food chain store.
Police Chief James Purcell
identified him as Glenn Oolgan,
26, an unemployed truck driver.
The chief said he admitted
threatening to bomb one of the
I stores of the Fred Meyer, Inc.,
: chain Monday unless $10,000
were left in a package in a farm
field on the outskirts of Port- j
land.
The package was left there,
and Colgan managed to pick it
up and get away from watch-1
; ing police, but he got no money,
1 Purcell said. The package con
I tained only worthless paper.
Tried to Explain
Police said Colgan, who had
served 30 days once for purse
snatching, feared one of the |
police had seen him at the scene.
So he walked into the station
Tuesday to try to explain away
his presence, Purcell said.
That proved difficult to do
after Coigan's hands glowed
when they were put under a spe
cial light, detectives said. They
explained that the package had
been treated with a chemical sub
stance designed to mark the per
son who picked it up.
At first Colgan said he had
run out of gas beside the farm
field, and later added that his
small son had picked up a pack
age that they took home and
burned when they found it con
tained only paper, detectives
said.
But the son's hands showed no
evidence of having handled the
package, and Coigan later said
he was the one who took the
package, and then went on to say
he also had telephoned the bomb
threat to the store chain, Pur
cell said.
It was the latest in a series of
real and fake bomb threats in
Portland, stemming from the
mid-April bombing of a depart
ment store in a 550,000 extor
tion attempt.
