Tornado south
of Portland near
Canby damages
small planes
CANBY (AP) —
Authorities say a tornado
touched down south of
Portland overturning small
airplanes, downing power
lines and damaging several
glass greenhouses.
National Weather Service
meteorologists say the
tornado touched down at the
Aurora State Airport near
Canby at about 3:45 p.m.
Thursday.
The Oregonian/
OregonLive reports the
storm prompted a tornado
warning for west Clackamas
County until 4:15 p.m.
Aurora Fire District
Lt. Bill Hansen says two
unoccupied planes at the
airport overturned while
others were blown around
but not damaged.
Hansen says glass
greenhouses and an office
building housing a plant
nursery also were damaged
and that winds snapped a
large tree in half and downed
several power lines.
Molalla High School
students stayed inside the
high school during the
storm, which delayed the
school’s homecoming
parade.
Several protesters
detained outside
ICE facility
PORTLAND (AP) —
Authorities handcuffed
several Oregon protesters
who tried to block a bus
from taking immigrants
to a Tacoma, Washington,
detention center.
Dozens of protesters lined
up Wednesday afternoon
outside a U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement
facility in Portland. They
blocked the entrance and
exit for several hours while
several activists linked
themselves together.
Federal Protective
Services officers started
arresting protesters at about
5:30 p.m. The agency has
not said how many were
detained. The Portland
Mercury reported that six
people were handcuffed —
three members of the chain
and three of their supporters.
Videos showed Portland
police placing hoods over
the heads of protesters who
were bound together.
Portland police Sgt.
Chris Burley said that was
done for protection, because
officers initially believed
they needed spark-prone
power tools to separate
them.
Burley said Portland
police made one arrest, but
it was not directly related to
the protest.
Judge Katherine Parker on
Thursday to make James
Gatto post $100,000 bond
to keep his freedom. The
judge instead continued the
no-bail conditions set at an
initial court appearance for
Gatto following his arrest last
month in Oregon.
Michael Schachter, an
attorney for Gatto, argued
that prosecutors’ portrayal
of his client as a “high-level
executive” at Adidas was
misleading because it
suggested he’s wealthy.
“Nothing can be further
from the truth,” Schachter
said, adding that his client is
a married father of two who
makes $139,000 a year as a
marketing director.
After more than
60 years, no
Christmas parade
in Springfield
SPRINGFIELD (AP)
— Springfield’s Christmas
won’t include a parade.
The event known as “The
Oldest and Coldest Christmas
Parade in Oregon,” has
been kicking off the city’s
Christmas season for nearly
65 years. But organizer
Marilee Woodrow tells The
Register-Guard there will
be no parade this December,
and it’s because of a lack of
volunteers.
Woodrow says potential
volunteers started to call
when they learned of the
cancellation, but it’s too late.
She hopes the parade can
make a grand return in 2018.
Adidas rep stays
free without bail
in college hoops
scandal
NEW YORK (AP) — A
federal judge has refused to
impose bail for an Adidas
representative embroiled in
a bribery scandal that has
thrown college basketball
into turmoil.
Prosecutors in federal
court in Manhattan urged
Trial begins for
Oregon man twice
imprisoned
for sex assault
EUGENE (AP) — A
Eugene tow truck driver
who has twice served prison
time for sexual assaults is
again accused of attacking a
female.
The Register-Guard
reports that a jury trial for
54-year-old Ricky LeVasseur
began Wednesday. He is
charged with single counts
of first-degree kidnapping,
sodomy and sexual abuse.
He is accused of
approaching a woman in
November 2015 wearing
a ski mask, pushing her to
the ground and threatening
her. The woman told police
that he offered to let her go
in exchange for oral sex.
She fought back and said he
touched her bare breast, but
she was able to escape.
LeVasseur’s attorney
said text messages show
his client was at home on
the night of the incident. If
convicted, LeVasseur could
be sentenced to life in prison.

DOJ settles suit filed by
top civil rights lawyer
Associated Press
PORTLAND — The
Oregon Department of
Justice agreed to pay
$205,000 to settle a federal
lawsuit filed by the lawyer
in charge of its civil rights
division.
Erious Johnson Jr. sued
Attorney General Ellen
Rosenblum and other agency
employees last year after
learning he had been put
under digital surveillance.
The Oregonian/OregonLive
reported Wednesday that the
settlement was signed this
month. Rosenblum and other
defendants did not admit
fault, and Johnson agreed to
leave his job.
“Erious has been a part
of the DOJ team for over
three years, and we are sad
to see him leave,” Rosen-
blum said in a statement.
“It is both a personal loss
and a loss for all of DOJ.”
The
racial-profiling
scandal began two years
ago, when DOJ investigator
James Williams tested new
software to search for poten-
tial anti-government threats,
and one Twitter hashtag he
checked was #BlackLives-
Matter.
Johnson’s lawsuit said his
Twitter feed was examined
after Williams noticed a logo
connected with the hip-hop
group Public Enemy.
The lawsuit said the
logo depicts a black man in
silhouette in the crosshairs
of a gun, but the investigator
mistook the man for a
police officer and wrote to
his supervisor that Johnson
could be a threat.
Williams
downloaded
Johnson’s Twitter history,
generated a report, and sent
it up the Justice Department
chain of command. Rosen-
blum fired Williams after his
actions became public, but an
arbitrator reinstated him with
back pay.
Attorney Beth Creighton,
who represented Johnson,
criticized
Rosenblum’s
agency for its handling of
civil rights issues and the
lawsuit: “Erious Johnson
filed this lawsuit solely to
fight that power and its
abuse in order to hold DOJ
accountable for this breach
of trust.”
The state also agreed to
pay $70,000 to settle a suit
brought by Nkenge Harmon
Johnson, who is married to
Erious Johnson. She alleged
that she was improperly fired
in 2014 as a spokeswoman
for then-Gov. John Kitzhaber.
After leaving Kitzhaber’s
office, Harmon Johnson
became president and chief
executive of the Urban
League of Portland.
