Nudist Acts by Woman
Found Legally Questionable
(AP) — Terri Sue W ebb dis­
covered there’s no such thing as
blind justice.
Webb, 26, was sentenced for
contempt o f court Thursday and
released after she appeared in
Deschutes County Circuit Court
in Bend last W ednesday stark
naked.
Webb, who was on trial for
riding her bicycle in the b u ff last
summer, wore only a pair o f red
cowboy boots before Judge Bar­
bara Haslinger.
In the h u sh e d co u rtro o m .
Deputy District Attorney Ruben
Munoz could be heard saying: “ I
had a feeling this might happen.”
Haslinger gave W ebb a chance
to dress, then ordered deputies to
arrest her for contempt o f court.
Webb was sentenced Thurs­
day to a year o f supervised proba­
tion and ordered to get a mental
health exam.
Native American Homicide Victim

Homicide Investigators, in
cooperation with Crime Stop­
pers, are asking for your help
in solving a homicide.
On Tuesday, Oct. 30, at
approximately 10:32 p.m.,
Portland Police Officers re­
sponded to a report of a body,
under the overpass, near the
intersection o f SW Arthur
and SW N aito Parkway.

can, who was later identified

Haslinger said Webb must at­
tend all future court dates fully
clothed. If Webb does not com ­
ply, she could be sentenced to 29
days in jail, Haslinger said.
W ebb was arrested in July and
charged with disorderly conduct
for pedaling around downtown
Bend in the nude.
Alana Brenneman, her attor­
ney, said that charge is without
merit because Webb did not cause
any inconvenience, annoyance or
alarm.
Moses Williams, a friend o f
W ebb’s, said Webb was fighting
the charge because non-sexual
public nudity is not against the
law.
“She has the right to express
herself,” he said. "Nudity is not
disorderly conduct."
A new trial date was set for
Jan. 27.
