East Oregonian Page 7A CRIME ROUNDUP Jury sides with motorcyclist who was kicked by state trooper Women hosed down due to chemical exposure settle lawsuit EUGENE (AP) — A federal jury has ruled in favor of a Eugene motorcyclist who was kicked in the chest by an Oregon State Police captain after a chase. The jury awarded Justin Wilkens $180,000 on Thursday to settle his excessive force claim in the August 2012 incident, the Register-Guard reports. “I’m just happy as heck,” Wilkens, 41, said as he left the courthouse. Video of the incident shows Wilkens speeding past Capt. Rob Edwards, who was in an unmarked police car. Edwards began to pursue Wilkens and then rear-ended his motorcycle. The police captain can then be seen pointing a gun at Wilkens and kicking him in the chest. Wilkens suffered a broken clavicle, a fractured rib and other injures in the incident. In addition to the excessive force claim, the jury found Edwards acted with negligence when he rear-ended Wilkens’ motorcycle, but ruled the state trooper did not violate Wilkens’ rights. Edwards testi¿ed at trial his actions were in line with police policy and training. The captain declined to comment on the case after the verdict and state Assistant Attorney General Dirk Pierson, who represented Edwards, said he was not authorized to speak about the case. Jurors determined that Edwards violated Wilkens’ rights by kicking him and was negligent in rear-ending the motorcycle. PORTLAND (AP) — Two women who stopped to help a crashed semi- truck driver and ended up wading through a neurotoxin have settled their lawsuit. The Oregonian reports that Kortney Broecker and Shantelle Nay have secured a nearly $100,000 settlement from LeSaint Chemical Logistics. According to their lawsuit ¿led in December, Broecker and Nay were traveling on Interstate 84 in Eastern Oregon when they found pieces of metal in the road. The women got out of the car to move the debris and found the overturned truck and trailer, with the driver bleeding. The women found out later they were wading through 4,000 gallons of a neurotoxin that can be fatal to humans. When they arrived at the next freeway exit, they were ordered to strip down to be hosed off, which they called “traumatizing.” Both women suffered serious health complications because of the chemical. Kennewick teen charged with sending teacher explicit photos KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — A Kennewick teenager has been accused of soliciting his former teacher for sex by sending her explicit Facebook messages. The Tri-City Herald reports that the now-14-year-old boy is accused of sending naked pictures and videos of himself to the Kennewick middle school teacher through Facebook. Prosecutors say he sent 15 graphic messages over several months. The boy was 13 at the time. Court documents say he used his ¿rst name and sent a picture showing his face in some of the messages. The teen has pleaded not guilty in juvenile court to cyberstalking and child pornography charges. The teacher says she rarely checks Facebook and was shocked to discover the messages in late 2015. She contacted police and said she hadn’t watched the videos. Wrongfully imprisoned Seattle man accused of selling meth SEATTLE (AP) — A Seattle man who was wrongfully imprisoned for decades and awarded nearly $500,000 from the state is now back in custody. The Seattle Times reports that 32-year-old Brandon Olebar has been accused of selling methamphetamine, driving a getaway car during a burglary and selling stolen guns. Olebar was released in 2013 after spending 10 years in prison for a 2003 burglary and robbery that left a man beaten. His conviction was based solely on witness testimony. He was the ¿rst person to receive wrongful-conviction compensation from the state. Now he has three ongoing criminal complaints, two in King County Superior Court and another in U.S. District Court, accusing him of new crimes.
