Fisherman found by divers Man arrested after driver rams
inside vessel in Willapa Bay into 3 on Portland sidewalk
The Daily Astorian
A missing fisherman was
found by divers Friday inside
the sunken crabbing ves-
sel Kelli J in Willapa Bay,
according to the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard con-
firmed today that the fisher-
man was Kevin Soule, the
skipper of the Kelli J, who
is believed to have been the
only person on board.
The vessel was refloated
by contractors Friday and was
being taken to the Nachotta
marina, with the owner’s
insurance company coordi-
nating the remaining salvage
efforts, the Coast Guard said.
Pacific County Sheriff’s
Office personnel transported
Soule to a local funeral home
Friday evening.
The Kelli J was originally
reported missing May 19,
and was found submerged on
Wednesday.
Coast Guard Sector
Columbia River investigators
are looking into the cause of
the incident.

Witness Christopher Bond

He estimated it was traveling
about 45 mph.
Bond said he turned to
help, and the driver “gunned

PORTLAND — Oregon’s
attorney general has released a
certified ballot title for an ini-
tiative that would restrict the
sale of assault weapons and
high-capacity magazines in the
state.
The title, released last week,
revises the draft caption follow-
ing comments from the public
and the chief petitioners, The
Oregonian reported.
It reads: “Prohibits ‘Assault
Weapons’ (Defined), ‘Large
Capacity Magazines’ (Defined),
Unless Registered With State
Police. Criminal Penalties.”
The draft version stated
the possession or transfer of
the weapons or the magazines
would be criminalized with
exceptions under the initiative.
A ballot title for a measure is
restricted to 15 words and must
give the subject matter, accord-
ing to the state Department of
Justice.
The initiative that petition-
ers are working to get on the
November ballot would define
assault weapons as certain
semi-automatic rifles and pis-
tols that use detachable mag-
azines and have other mili-
tary-style features.
In addition to restricting
assault weapons, the initiative
would ban the manufacture
and sale of magazines that hold
more than 10 rounds of ammu-
nition. Law enforcement and
military personnel would be
exempt.
Existing gun owners would
be required to register with the
state and pass criminal back-
ground checks. Failure to do
so would result in criminal
prosecution.
The office of state Attor-
ney General Ellen Rosenblum
reworked the caption and the
explanation of the initiative’s
effects following the release of
the draft title in April.

Joshua Allen Pickering, 34,
was arrested earlier this year,
and more charges were added
to his indictment this week.
He pleaded not guilty Thurs-
day to 18 counts of first-degree
encouraging child sex abuse
and one count of felon in pos-
session of a firearm.
Authorities believe Picker-
ing came into possession of the
photos between January 2016
and January 2018.
Pickering’s criminal history
includes several arrests for sex
crimes and assaults. Since his
arrest, he underwent a psycho-
logical evaluation. Kirk Win-
termute, his court-appointed
attorney at the time, claimed in
a motion that he has had sui-
cidal thoughts, paranoia and
hallucinations.
Bail has been set at
$500,000. A trial has been
scheduled for November.

injuries, Caputo said.
“I’m still kind of in shock.
If I were two minutes later,
that would have been me, or if
I had just walked that normal
route, that would have been
me,” Caputo said. “A lot of
people were crying.”
Police cordoned off sev-
eral blocks around the crash. A
green sweater, a pair of sneak-
ers, a pink slipper and one
black bike glove lay scattered
on the sidewalk near a small
splash of blood.
The crash stunned the city
on the Friday before Memorial
Day. On that Friday last year, a
passenger fatally stabbed two
men and wounded a third on a
light-rail train as it pulled into
a station. Police said the pas-
senger spewed hateful com-
ments at two black teenage
girls shortly before the attack.

PORTLAND — A driver
rammed into three women
walking on a sidewalk Friday
in downtown Portland, crit-
ically injuring one of them,
before speeding away and get-
ting arrested within hours of
the crash, authorities said.
Greg Phillip Porter, 61, is
being held at the Multnomah
County jail on several counts,
including three counts each of
attempted murder and assault.
Someone called 911 after
spotting a blue SUV that
matched the description of the
vehicle that struck the women
near a light-rail station close
to Portland State University,
police Sgt. Pete Simpson said.
Police have not yet deter-
mined a motive.
Authorities said they were
getting a search warrant to
seize the car with a crum-
pled hood and have yet to
rule out intoxication, mental
health problems or a medical
incident as the reason for the
crash.
The names of the victims
have not been released.
Sgt. Chris Burley said one
victim was in critical condi-
tion at a hospital and another
was in serious condition. The
family of the third woman
asked that no updates be given
about her health.
Police have not said how
