Holiday DUII Enforcement
Thirteen Arrested In New Years Saturation Patrols
Multnomah County S h e riffs
Deputies were kept busy over this
| past holiday weekend with DUII
Patrol Enforcement. According to
Multnomah County S h eriffs Of­
fice Records, thirteen DUII arrests
[ and one fatal traffic accident in­
volving alcohol were recorded.
These DUII incidents evolved
over a three day period [December
30, 1995 to January 01, 1996]. On
New Years Eve, five DUIIEnforce-
I ment Units were assigned in addi­
tion to normal District and Reserve
Units. DUII Enforcement Units are
designed specifically for the appre­
hension o f suspected intoxicated
drivers operating motor vehicles.
These Units are equipped with spe­
cific tools that aid the Deputies in the
performance o f their duties. Some of
these tools are as follows:
MDT, A Mobile Data Terminal
that is hardwired in the patrol car that
provides relevant information direct­
ly to a computer video screen.
Video recording cameras that are
activated directly by the Officer.
Sensor devices that are extreme­
ly sensitive to the detection o f alco­
hol.
Dual antenna movement mode
radar that assists in determining
speed o f a motor vehicle.
M ultnomah County S h e riffs
Deputies characterize these DUII
arrest as higher than normal and
can be attributed directly to the
saturation o f DUII Enforcement
Patrol Units.

Airport Abduction Suspect Arrested
James Richard Janicek, DOB 12-
[26-54, was arrested Friday after-
I noon at the Portland International
Airport after he allegedly grabbed
and attempted to abduct a 6-year-
old girl. He was taken into custody
by Port o f Portland Police officers.
Janicek had been wanted for the
attempted abduction o f a 5-year-old
girl Wednesday morning in South-
I east Portland.
At 4:00 p.m. today (01-12), Of-
I ficer Robert Bender o f the Port o f
Portland Police Department was
contacted by a woman who told him
that a man had tried to grab her
daughter away from her. The woman
said that an Alaska Airlines employ­
ee was following the suspect. Officer
Bender then observed the Alaska
employee, who pointed out the sus­
pect exiting the escalator on the low­
er level.
Officer Bendercontacted the man,
and determined that he was James
Janicek. A com putercheck found the
Portland Police Kidnap warrant, and
he was taken into custody.
Janicek was transported to the
Portland Police Detective Division
to continue the investigation.
Reportedly, Janicek had grabbed
the girl as she stood with her mother
at the Alaska Airlines ticket counter.
A llegedly, Janicek had pur­
chased an Alaska ticket to Seattle
earlier that day, but had returned
later in the day to cash it in.
Detectives are asking for the pub-
lic’s help in locating, Janicek’s ve­
hicle, a 1973 white GMC van, O r­
egon license SZD 396.
Certain evidence produced in the
[course o f the investigation raised
questions concerning the issue of
Deputy White remaining on duty.
Deputy White was placed on paid
administrative leave on Friday, Au­
gust 4, 1995, pending the outcome of
the Grand Jury deliberations.
When the investigation was com­
plete, it was forwarded to the District
Attorney’s Office. The District Attor­
ney sent the case to the Grand Jury on
August 29, 1995. On October J, 1995,
John H. White pleaded No Contest to
one count o f Official Misconduct In
the First Degree [ORS 162.415], a
Class A Misdemeanor. The plea was
the result o f a negotiated agreement
with the District Attorney’s Office.
The No Contest plea resulted in a
sentence of: 2 years formal proba­
tion; 60 days work release; and Dep­
uty White reported to the Clackamas
County Work Release Centerto serve

after his release and must undergo
alcohol and drug counseling and
rehabilitation. “This sentence clear­
ly states to the citizens o f this state
that animal abuse is considered a
violent crime,” said Williamson.
“People who abuse animals need to
be identified and treated before their
violence escalates.
Judge B rockley’s sentencing
should make Oregonians breathe a
little easier knowing we can get
these people off the streets and into
treatment.”

worked closely with the Gladstone
Police Department in solving the
gruesome cat torture and killing
cases early in the fall o f this year.
Holiday Deaths Down,
But Yearly Highway Toll Is Up
Holiday traffic deaths were down this year, with one fatality reported on
New Year’s Eve, and two over Christmas. That compares to an average of
10 per year over the last five years. However, the year-long numbers for
1995 were discouraging. “ 1995 was very, very bad for Oregon motorists,”
said Ed Marges o f O D O T’s Transportation Safety Section. “Our prelim­
inary figures show that 562 people died on Oregon highways in 1995. That
is about 14 percent higher than last year.”
Marges says many o f those deaths could have been avoided by making
some common-sense choices. “Now would be a great time to make a new
year’s resolution, and make some smart, healthy choices when you drive.
Choose not to drive and drink. Choose not to speed. Choose to wear your
safety belt. And hopefully, this time next year, w e’ll all be here to celebrate
the next new year.”
1995 Oregon deaths to DEC. 3 1: 562 Pedestrians 73
1994 Oregon deaths 494 Pedestrians 70
A coalition o f concerned Oregon
agencies came together to discuss re­
peal o f the federal speed limit. The
Oregon Department ofTransportation,
Department o f Justice, and State Po­
lice agree that although Congress has
repealed the federal maximum speed
limit, posted speed limits in Oregon
have not changed.
Several states have increased their
speed limits since the federal law was
taken from the books, but Oregon is
no, one o f them. Posted speeds in
Oregon will remain as they are. What
has changed for some Oregon road­
ways is the law under which a police
officer may cite motorists for speeding
violations. Many highways in Oregon
are now enforceable under the Basic
Rule. However, a posted speed is the
guideline, and a speed above the post­
ed speed is prima facie evidence of
violation o f the Basic Rule.
Speed limits vs. Basic Speed
A. Speed limits exist for all pas­
senger veh ic les on: A11 streets with in
boundaries o f incorporated cities; All
city streets and county roads within
the urban growth boundaries o f coun­
ties o f 100,000 or greater popula­
tion; and All rural interstate high­
ways.
B. The Basic Rule applies for all
passenger vehicles on: All state high­
ways other than rural interstate high­
ways; All non-state roadways not in­
cluded in A.
C. The maximum speed for al I trucks
(above 8,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle
Weight) and passenger transport vehi­
cles is 55 miles per hour.
