Theft at Assisted Living Facility
Theresa Mozelll White
A north Portland woman is charged in the theft of a wedding
ring from a 92-year-old woman.
Portland Police were called to a northeast Portland assisted-
living facility last July on a report that an unknown woman had
entered the facility's dining hall and pulled the ring off the victim's
finger against her will.
Thursday, Theresa Reba Mozell White, 46, was charged with
theft and robbery. The ring was located in a nearby pawn shop,
and transaction records helped police identify White as the
suspect.
Police said the victim, assisted-living facility and pawn shop
are all requesting privacy at this time and do not want to do any
media interviews.

Suspects turn
violent after
car is towed
Police responding to a distur­
bance during Last Thursday on
Alberta Street arrested two men for
an assault on a neighbor.
The victim, 37-year-old Dirk
Tarman Jr., told police that a week
ago he'd noticed a Black BMW
parked in front of his house on
Northeast 18th Avenue, partially
blocking his driveway. Tarman said
he left a note asking that the driver
not block his driveway. After the
BMW was parked in front of his
driveway again on Thursday, po­
lice and parking patrol officers re­
sponded and the vehicle was towed.
Tarman said one of the suspects,
identified later as Mitchell Asa, 21,

The U.S. Department of Justice will
not go after states which have legal­
ized marijuana. An updated state­
ment by the agency issued Thurs­
day explained how the federal pros-
came up to the house demanding to
know where the car was. When he
was told it had been towed, another
man identified as Marcus Forest-
Cooper, 24, came up to Tarman's
porch and began assaulting him and
moved into the house and contin­
ued to assault him, police said.
The resident grabbed a cordless
drill and struck Forest-Cooper in the
arm, possibly with the drill bit, as
Asa also joined in the assault, po­
lice said. Both suspects and two
other men all ran away as police
arrived in the area. One of the other
two men was not located and the
fourth was not charged.
Officers learned that all four men
were in the area to attend "Last
Thursday" festivities.
When police located Forest-Coo­
per, he had an injury to one of his
arms so he was treated and released
at a Portland hospital.
