Court backs defendants who want
to travel while on probation
PORTLAND (AP) — The Oregon Court of Appeals
has issued two opinions favorable to defendants who
challenged geographic restrictions placed on them while
on probation.
One case involves Paula Bell, a former Oregon State
Police employee who stole money from an evidence
room to feed a gambling addiction. As part of her
sentence, she was prohibited from leaving Lincoln

The Appeals Court said Thursday the restriction was
overly broad and not reasonably related to her crime.
Also Thursday, the court struck down a requirement
that a woman convicted of stalking be barred from
Lincoln County north of Cape Foulweather. The judges
said the woman is prohibited from having contact with
