WARRANTS
PORTLAND (AP) — A
Harney County judge said
Friday that he will dismiss
a
negligent
wounding
charge
against
Larry
O’Dea,
who resigned as
Portland’s police
chief last year after
shooting a friend
during an off-duty
camping trip.
Judge William
Cramer accepted a
civil compromise in
the case but said he O’Dea
will not sign off on
it until O’Dea follows county
policy and comes to the jail
to be booked, fingerprinted
and released.

Ashton, assured the judge
his client will come to Burns
next week, The Oregonian/
OregonLive reported.
O’Dea had been
chief for little more
than a year when
he shot Robert
Dempsey on April
21, 2016. O’Dea
and Dempsey were
part of a group of
friends who take
an annual camping
trip. They were
firing at squirrels in
the remote Catlow
Valley when Dempsey got hit
in the back. He was airlifted
to an Idaho hospital, where
he was treated and released.
O’Dea didn’t identify
himself as Portland’s police
chief when Harney County
deputies spoke with him, and
he said it appeared Dempsey
shot himself in a mishap. A
deputy noted in his report
that he smelled alcohol on
O’Dea’s breath.
A few days after the
incident, the chief informed
then-Portland Mayor Charlie
Hales that he had accidentally
shot a friend. Harney County
authorities, however, didn’t
learn the truth until weeks
later, when the victim finally
spoke with an investigator.
The chief resigned in
June as controversy swirled,
mostly from the fact that he
and Hales kept the incident
secret for weeks.
Dempsey, who is not on
the Portland police force,
wrote in a statement to the
court that he has been fully
compensated for his injuries
and did not want his friend
prosecuted.
“Larry O’Dea was not
intoxicated nor was he
impaired by alcohol on April
21, 2016,” Dempsey’s state-
ment said. “I have told the
prosecuting attorneys this. I
have also told the prosecuting
attorneys that I do not want to
be part of this prosecution.”
In agreeing to dismiss
the charge, the judge said
he was relying heavily on
Dempsey’s statement, and
O’Dea’s lack of a prior crim-
inal record.

The Umatilla County District
Attorney’s office is pushing the court
to have the state apply that money to
the $67,000 he owes in child support,
according to court documents.
Circuit Judge Lynn Hampton
ordered the bail money remain in the
custody of the court for the time being.
The case now, though, is in the hands
of new Circuit Judge Jon Lieuallen,
who won the seat on the 6th Judicial
District in the November election.
Court records also show Lybrand
on Sept. 26 agreed to move from a
residence at 3510 N.E. King Place,
Pendleton, and pay back rent within 90
days.
UO student files lawsuit
over slow diagnosis
EUGENE (AP) — A University of
Oregon student seeks $3 million in a
lawsuit against medical providers who
she says failed to properly diagnose her
with meningococcal disease in 2015.
The Register-Guard reports that
Christina Jenkins’ lawsuit is the second
from the disease outbreak that struck
the campus in 2015.
The lawsuit asserts a physician’s
assistant at an Oregon Medical Group
clinic administered a nasal swab test
for the flu. When that test came back
negative, she advised Jenkins to drink
more fluids and get some rest.

Officials discourage
ER visits for mild flu
Going straight to the
emergency room for mild
flu symptoms can spread the
infection and tie up resources
for people with more serious
ailments, according to the
Oregon Health Authority.
Severe symptoms like
shortness of breath or confu-
sion still call for emergency
treatment, and high-risk
patients like pregnant women,
the elderly, young children and
the
immune-compromised
should be monitored carefully.
But a news release from the
OHA noted that most healthy
people with mild symptoms
like a sore throat or slight
fever recover by resting and
drinking plenty of fluids.
Those with non-urgent
symptoms should stay home,
or call their primary care
physician if they think they
need medical care.
“Emergency departments
are busy, and people with
mild symptoms who want
to be seen can protect others
and avoid long waits in the
ER by calling their primary
care provider before heading
to the hospital,” the news
release stated.
Severe symptoms in
adults include shortness of
breath, pain or pressure in the
chest or abdomen, sudden
dizziness, confusion, severe
or persistent vomiting, purple
or blue lips or seizures. Chil-
dren should be seen urgently
if they have fast or troubled
breathing, bluish skin or lips,
are not waking up or inter-
acting, become so irritable
they do not want to be held,
