Redmond man arrested
following weekend pursuit
Glen James Carroll, 47, of Red-
mond, was arrested on multiple
charges following a pursuit by De-
schutes County Sheriff’s Office depu-
ties Saturday morning, according to a
press release from the sheriff’s office.
Deputies attempted to stop a vehi-
cle, a 2001 Volvo, at about 8:53 a.m. in
the area of NW Sixth Street and NW
Quince Avenue for violations includ-
ing speeding, failure to use turn signal
and expired registration. The vehicle
continued westbound on NW Quince
Avenue and made its way back to
Highway 97 from NW Pershall Way
and started to drive southbound
through Redmond on Highway 97.
Redmond Police offers deployed spike
strips in the area of Highway 97 and
SW Evergreen Avenue and the ve-
hicle drove over the spikes with the
rear passenger side tire and continued
southbound.
After leaving city limits, at a speed
of approximately 100 mph, the tire
deflated and and came off the car. The
driver continued east of Highway 97
on Tomahawk Avenue, taking a BLM
road, crossed the railroad tracks and
started driving northeast through
BLM land. Eventually Carroll exited
the vehicle and a deputy was able to
take him into custody after a short
foot pursuit.
When arrested, Carroll was al-
legedly in possession of about one
ounce of suspected methamphet-
amine and was charged with felony
attempt to elude, misdemeanor at-
tempt to elude, lawful possession of
methamphetamine, reckless driving
and driving while suspended. Carroll
was cited and released at the scene for
the above mentioned charges.

Elsewhere: Procedural errors will
delay pot tax in Grant County
Redmond’s Spirit Foundation is
accepting applications of donation
requests up to $10,000 from 501©3
organizations working with children,
handicapped, elderly, or disadvan-
Grant County will have to wait be-
fore collecting marijuana tax revenue.
Although county voters approved a
3% tax on marijuana products in the
November election, Grant County of-
ficials did not consider an ordinance
to officially adopt the tax until Dec. 30
and neglected to read the ordinance
as required by law.
According to Oregon law for
adopting an ordinance, “every ordi-
nance of a county governing body
shall, before being put upon its final
adoption, be read fully and distinctly
in open meeting of that body on two
days at least 13 days apart.” The ordi-
nance can be read by title only if no
member of the governing body re-
quests a complete reading of the pro-
posed ordinance.
County officials did not read the
ordinance in full or by title Dec. 30,
so the county must complete the first
reading, wait at least 13 days and then
complete the second reading for the
ordinance to be properly adopted. At
that point, the ordinance would take
effect in 90 days because tax-related
ordinances cannot be passed as emer-
gencies in a single meeting, according
to Oregon law.
Although the county court unan-
imously passed a motion to approve
the ordinance, the text of the ordi-
nance that was not read aloud in-
cludes blank spaces that were sup-
posed to be filled in with the dates
two public hearings and the dates of
the first and second readings. The
commissioners did not sign the ordi-
nance.
County Judge Scott Myers said the
county is getting guidance from legal
counsel.
This is the second time the county
has had trouble with a pot tax ordi-
nance. After passing an emergency
ordinance in 2018 to tax pot sales,
Grant County officials rescinded the
ordinance and returned $5,000 to
the county’s sole marijuana retailer,
because state law prohibits passing
tax-related ordinances as emergen-
cies and requires a pot tax to go to
the voters during a statewide general
election.
In a 2019 press release, District
Attorney Jim Carpenter said that
“scrutiny by the Blue Mountain Eagle
brought the issue to light, causing a
reconsideration of the legality of the
ordinance.”
Haley Olson of Rocky Mountain
Dispensary said she estimates revenue
for the county during the first quarter
of this year would have been around
$10,000 to $25,000.

taking grant applications
Meet Lumpy, a special senior cat looking for a loving home.
Lumpy is gentle, laid back, and very affectionate. Even at 15
years old, he is still enjoying a happy and quality life. He does
have a mass in his abdomen and it is unclear when he may dis-
play clinical signs from the tumor. Because of this, his adoption
fee is waived for the right home. Lumpy is looking for some-
body willing to love him and give him a soft place to land. For
more info, call BrightSide Animal Center at 541-923-0882.

The Spokesman will update items in the Police
Log when such a request is received. Any new
