Oregon snowpack below average
One witness told the Herald
that Zambrano-Montes threw a
large rock at a passing vehicle
shortly before police arrived.
Police tried to shock him
with a Taser, but it had little ef-
fect on him, said Ben Patrick,
who was just yards away in the
grocery store parking lot with
his family when the shooting
happened.
Several videos from wit-
nesses watching from the park-
ing lot and their cars that have
been posted on YouTube show
Zambrano-Montes carrying a
rock and trying to run away.
He may have tried to throw
the rock at police before three

PORTLAND — The Oregon snowpack is well
below average despite normal precipitation this
winter.
High snow levels have prevented the
accumulation of mountain snow that is needed to

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural
Resources Conservation Service reports the
snowpack is less than half of average in western
and central portions of Oregon. Eastern parts of
the state are a little better but still below average.
The Oregonian reports some monitoring
stations near Mount Hood have recorded no snow
IRUWKH¿UVWWLPHLQWKUHHGHFDGHV
In a typical year, the snowpack peaks around
April, so there’s time for recovery. But a three-
month climate outlook predicts conditions will be
warmer and drier than normal in the Northwest.
Oregon State Police troopers
investigate mule deer poaching
6$/(0$3²2UHJRQ6WDWH3ROLFH¿VKDQG
wildlife troopers say their investigation of mule
deer poaching has led them to people in central
and southern Oregon.
Lt. Josh Brooks said Tuesday that troopers
executed a search warrant last month at the La
Pine, Oregon, home of 37-year-old Gene A.
Parsons after receiving information that he had
been involved in the illegal killing of a large
number of mature trophy class mule deer bucks
last fall. Troopers seized numerous large mule
GHHUDQWOHUVGHHUPHDW¿UHDUPVDQGFRQWUROOHG
substances.
Parsons was arrested for investigation of
unlawful taking of mule deer.
Information developed from the search led
troopers to a 44-year-old Grants Pass man accused
of unlawful taking of mule deer and waste of a
game mammal.
State police say the investigation continues.
