Tribal water quality probe taken
By Ron Karten
Smoke Signal i etaff writer
The Yamhill County Sheriffs Office is seeking leads on a water
quality probe taken from inside black PVC pipe submerged in three
to four feet of water in Agency Creek.
Hoping to get the expensive equipment back for the Tribe's Natural
Resources Department, the Sheriffs Office is saying that the equip
ment may have been mistaken for something discarded.
"Because the equipment was tied to a cinder block and submerged,
the finder may have thought that the equipment was thrown away
and did not realize its value," said Sheriff Jack Crabtree.
The probe has little or no resale value, but it will cost $7,930 to
replace, Crabtree said.
Information shedding light on the whereabouts of this equipment
can be provided to Deputy Shane Rice at 503-434-7506.
