Man carrying mother’s head stabs grocery store clerk
ESTACADA (AP) — A
man killed his mother on
Mother’s Day at a rural
Oregon home, then showed
up at a grocery store in a
nearby town carrying a
decapitated human head and
began stabbing a checkout
clerk before being subdued,
authorities said Monday.
Officers determined the
head the man was carrying
belonged to his mother, the
Sandy Police Department
said.
An autopsy was underway
Monday on the body of Tina
Marie Webb, 59, the same
day that her son, 36-year-old
Joshua Lee Webb, was
booked on charges of murder
and attempted murder in the
case. He has not yet made a
court appearance.
The gruesome chain of
events unfolded in two tiny,
rural towns once known for
logging about 30 miles south
of Portland and sent shock
waves through Estacada,
where most people knew the
white-haired checkout clerk
identified as 66-year-old
Michael Wagner for his
warmth and quick
sense of humor.
David Webb,
the
father
of
Joshua Lee Webb,
sobbed as he strug-
gled to process his
wife’s death and
his son’s arrest in
one horrible day.
Joshua Webb Webb
had vision prob-
lems and received Social
Security payments, his father
said. He lived at home so his
parents could care for him,
his father said, adding that
they had recently bought him
a dog because he wanted one.
His mother had said
she believed her son was
depressed, but David Webb
said he never saw any indi-
cation of that when he spoke
with his son.
“I never foresaw a
problem. If I had I would
have stopped it,” David
Webb said, before bursting
into loud sobs during a
phone interview with The
Associated Press. “I just
can’t believe I lost my wife
and son in one day. ... I don’t
know. I wish I did.
I wish I had some
answers, but I
don’t. I waited all
my life to retire
with my wife, and
now I can’t. That’s
all I know.”
The
bizarre
sequence began
Sunday afternoon
— Mother’s Day
— in Colton, a once-signifi-
cant logging down about 40
miles southeast of Portland.
The Clackamas County
Sheriff’s Office said Webb
killed his mother at their rural
home, but it did not provide
more details.
Joshua
Webb
then
showed up at a Thriftway in
downtown Estacada, about
12 miles to the north. When
he entered the small grocery
store, he was covered in
blood, had a large “kitch-
en-type” knife and was
carrying a severed human
head, authorities said.
He began stabbing a
store employee, but he was
quickly overwhelmed by
other employees, who held
him until police arrived,
authorities said.
“He didn’t say anything
after he was subdued,”
said Ernie Roberts, interim
police chief in nearby Sandy,
Oregon, said Monday.
“He was in like a cata-
tonic state, wasn’t speaking
to anybody,” Roberts said,
adding that the only thing
he said during the encounter
before his arrest was that he
was thirsty. Sandy provides
police services for Estacada,
which also has around 2,500
residents.
Wagner, the grocery store
checkout clerk, was hospi-
talized and was expected to
survive.
Residents who gathered
outside the police tape
Monday said Wagner had
worked for years at the
store, first at the produce
department and then at the
checkout counter.
Customers stopped by
in a steady stream to drop
off balloons as a tribute in
front of the store and to sign
a giant get-well poster. A

Oregon House passes bill to exempt
legislators’ email lists from disclosure
By PARIS ACHEN
Capital Bureau
SALEM — The Oregon
House of Representatives
has passed a bill 36-to-21
that exempts legislators’
email lists from disclosure
under the public records law.
The bill makes an excep-
tion for lawmakers’ own
campaigns, which still would
be entitled to access the email
addresses under law.
Rep. Phil Barnhart, D-Eu-
gene, sponsored the bill after
his office and several other
legislative offices received
public records requests from
Richard Ellmyer, owner
of a political newsletter, in
December 2015 for email
addresses of people who had
subscribed to the lawmakers’
newsletters.
In 2013, Democrats,
including Barnhart, spon-
sored and passed similar
legislation to make state
agencies’ email lists exempt
from disclosure. The law was
a response to a controversy in
2012 over former legislator
Dennis Richardson’s use
of the public records law to
obtain nearly 500,000 email
addresses to distribute his
political newsletter.
Barnhart
described
Monday’s bill as a “simple
fix” to legislative emails
being left out of the 2013
legislation. Both bills were
designed to deter spammers
from “harassing” constitu-
ents, Barnhart said.
But House Minority
Leader Rep. Mike McLane,
R-Powell Butte, character-
ized the bill as hypocritical,
because it allows campaigns
to have access to the emails
but not the general public.
“What I take issue
with is state legislators
handing those emails over
to campaigns when people
believe they’re signing up
for the district newsletter,”
McLane said.
McLane called a Repub-
lican caucus just before the
vote, and all of the no votes
came from the GOP.
The legislation now heads
to the Oregon Senate.
Barnhart’s bill is one of
several that seek exemptions
to the public records law at a
time when other lawmakers
and Attorney General Ellen
Rosenblum’s Office have
been seeking to reduce and
simplify the state’s some 500
exemptions.
also grew on the other side
of the parking lot, just in
front of yellow police tape
that covered nearly an entire
block.
Inside Lew’s Drive-In,
next door to the grocery
store, customers talked of
nothing but the stabbing and
of Wagner, whom everyone
seemed to know. Customers
who had been in the grocery
store during the stabbing
took refuge in the diner
Sunday, but nobody had seen
much, said Marvin Flora, the
diner’s owner.
