The Oregonian/OregonLive reported Thursday that emails it obtained from the city attorney disclosed that an investigation will not happen. The emails said there will be no investigation because the alleged conduct took place too long ago and Adams is no longer a city employee. Adams’ former executive assistant, Cevero Gonzalez, says Adams asked him uncomfortable questions such as when the last time he “got laid” was, what positions he preferred during sex and questions about male body parts. Adams denied the allegations and said he would “gladly participate” in an investigation. Sheriff’s corporal accused of sexually abusing co-worker HILLSBORO (AP) — A Washington County sheriff’s corporal has been arrested for alleged sexual misconduct against a co-worker. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office says 45-year-old Kevin Kearns was arrested Thursday after another employee 12 last week reported ongoing sexual harassment by Kearns while both were working in the jail. Kearns was released on his own recognizance and was ordered to appear in court later this month. Kearns is accused of making sexual comments to the victim, which allegedly escalated to unwanted touching. Kearns has been placed on leave while investigations continue. It wasn’t immediately clear if Kearns had a lawyer. Taxi company offers cabs to help homeless stay warm SALEM (AP) — A Salem taxi company is offering homeless residents a seat inside its cabs on chilly nights when the city’s warming centers are not open. The Statesman Journal reports Friday that Willamette Valley Yellow Cab offers free rides to shelters on cold nights but this winter they are going a step farther. The nonprofit in charge of opening Salem’s warming centers doesn’t do so unless the overnight temperature is forecast to dip to 27 degrees or below for three nights in a row. Critics say the policy developed by Mid-Valley Community Action Agency needs to change. The cab company says drivers can let homeless people stay in the cabs for 10 to 15 minutes. Homeless customers will have to wait for a free cab like anyone else hailing a ride. 30% OFF 541-567-4305 • Hwy 395, Hermiston Bank robber’s nickname cashes in on Star Wars frenzy PORTLAND (AP) — Authorities in Oregon are taking advantage of the frenzy around the opening day of the latest Star Wars movie to catch a bad guy of their own. Police in Portland on Friday nicknamed an alleged bank robber the “Palpatine Bandit” because of the dark-colored hoodie he wears during bank hold-ups. Emperor Sheev Palpatine, also known as the Darth Sidious in the Star Wars franchise, wears a dark and hooded cloak. Man charged with murder in 1989 death of teen BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — Whatcom County prosecutors have filed a charge of first-degree murder against a man in the death of a teenager near Bellingham in 1989. The Bellingham Herald reports Timothy Bass was charged with murder on Thursday in connection to the abduction, rape and murder of Mandy Stavik of the Acme area. Whatcom County Prosecutor David McEachran says that’s likely to be the only charge because the statute of limitations has run out for rape or kidnapping charges. Bass’ arraignment is set for Dec. 22.

The Bulletin reports Friday that Bill Wagner told Mayor Casey Roats in a letter that Bend’s planning process is dominated by city employees He also feels that are set in stone before they are brought to the commission for a vote and there is resistance to making any changes. He says his biggest frustration was for the process to develop a master plan for Oregon State University’s Cascades campus. Wagner has been on the commission in the fast-growing city since 2011 and became its chairman in 2013. The 74-year-old will leave the commission at the end of this month.
