Keizer Police Department
is investigating an incident
involving gunfi re at a south
Keizer bar.
On Saturday, Aug. 20, 2016
at 2:38 a.m., KPD offi cers re-
sponded to the Tequila Nights
Bar & Grill, 3393 River Road
North, on a report of several
gunshots being fi red in the
parking lot after the conclu-
sion of a concert that was
headlined by Lil Rob.
Upon offi cers arrival, they
located a 1999 Volkswagen
Jetta four-door in the park-
ing lot that had been struck
by multiple rounds of gun-
fi re. The initial investigation
indicates a male suspect, possi-
bly wearing red, fl ed from the
shooting scene on foot. The
suspect was last seen by wit-
nesses running westbound
away from the bar on Apple-
blossom Drive North. Inves-
tigating offi cers did not locate
any persons who were struck
by gunfi re and no injuries
were reported.
Keizer offi cers were as-
sisted by deputies and offi -
cers from the Marion County
Sheriff ’s Offi ce and the Sa-
lem Police Department who
helped secure the crime scene
and search for the suspect. A
K-9 was also deployed, but
the suspect was not identifi ed
or apprehended.
The incident remains un-
der investigation. Anyone
having any information is
asked to contact Det. Ben
Howden at 503-390-3713,
ext. 3525.

Double-dipping robber gets 11 years
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
Keizer’s One Stop Smoke
Shop was robbed twice by an
armed man earlier this year,
and he’s headed to prison for
11 years after pleading guilty
to the crimes in court Mon-
day, Aug. 22.
Earl Creemedicine, 33 of
Stanwood, Wash., was arrested
on July 12 after a traffi c stop
when Keizer Police Depart-
ment Sgt. Jeff Goodman spot-
ted a vehicle believed to have
been involved in a robbery
that occurred in Salem.
Creemedicine
pleaded
guilty to three counts of sec-
ond-degree armed robbery,
unlawful use of a weapon and
attempted unlawful use of a
weapon. Creemedicine was
charged in connection to 11
robberies between March and
July, but several were dismissed
as part of his guilty plea.
KPD Det. Andrew Phelps
had investigated an armed
robbery at the One Stop
Smoke Shop on March 21.
When Phelps responded to
the report of a second rob-
bery on July 11, he and Of-
fi cer Kevin DeMarco had an himself in a room and called

Extra patrols on road
through Labor Day
Labor Day weekend is fast
approaching and with it end-
of-summer parties. The gath-
erings bring family and friends
together, which also means
some time behind the wheel.
Despite laws and millions
of dollars spent on education,
the problem of impaired driv-
ing and unrestrained occupants
still exists. It makes Labor Day
weekend being one of the
deadliest weekends to travel.

State board: City must
reconsider big box
The Land Use Board of
Appeals ordered the Keizer
City Council to reconsider
its decision allowing a big
box retailer and other mixed

Mobile home park

Berkshire
Estates,
a
manufactured home park that
the owners recently closed
has residents fearful of losing
their homes. Barbara Clement,
a resident, has appealed to
Keizer City Council to take
up legislation for an ordinance
that requires park owners to
pay renter’s moving costs or
a fair market price for their
abandoned homes when
closing a park.

Helmet protects boy
during car versus
bike collision
Justin Beers, a 12-year-old
Keizer boy escaped serious
head injuries in a car-bicycle
collision by wearing his bike
helmet. The impact catapulted
the boy headlong onto the
pavement but his helmet was
strapped on tight. The boy
received minor injuries for
scrapes and was treated at the
scene.

Someone took a bulldozer
into River’s Edge Park,

no one knows who did it or
why. The park is on the banks
of the Willamette River off
Rivercrest Drive in the south
end of Keizer.
ment rolled out extra patrols
beginning Monday, Aug. 22,
and will continue through La-
bor Day weekend. The offi cers’
primary focus will be looking
for impaired drivers. In addi-
tion, offi cers will also be con-
centrating on vehicles with
unrestrained occupants, drivers
who are using mobile commu-
nication devices and speeders.
Another dangerous driving
habit that is not talked about
as often as the DUII or the
non-seatbelted occupant, is the
fatigued driver. According to
an article in the US News &
World Report some research
has shown, “volunteers who
hadn’t slept for nearly 20 hours
had response speeds that were
50 percent lower than well-
rested folks on some cognitive
tests; their performance was
blood-alcohol content of 0.05
percent, which is approaching
the legal limit.”
Here are some signs from
the National Sleep Founda-
tion that would suggest a driver
needs to stop and rest:
• Diffi culty focusing, fre-
quent blinking, or heavy eyelids
• Daydreaming; wandering/
disconnected thoughts.
• Trouble remembering the
last few miles driven; missing
exits or traffi c signs.
• Yawning repeatedly or rub-
bing your eyes.
• Trouble keeping your head
up.
• Drifting from your lane,
tailgating, or hitting a shoulder
rumble strip.
• Feeling restless and irri-
table.
