9A
ormer Lane County em-
ployee Patricia Trocki
was sentenced this morning fol-
lowing her arrest in September
for aggravated theft of public
funds from the Lane County
Sheriff’s Offi ce. Trocki’s em-
ployment from the Sheriff’s Of-
fi ce was terminated on Oct. 14.
The Sheriff’s Offi ce said that
full restitution, in the amount of
$61,052, was paid by Trocki at
sentencing, returning all public
funds taken.
On Sept. 13, the Sheriff’s Of-
fi ce had arrested Trocki, a 17-
year employee of the Sheriff’s
Offi ce employed as a Senior
Accounting Clerk. Trocki was
lodged at the Lane County Jail
on Aggravated Theft in connec-
tion with theft of cash related to
her accounting duties. Trocki
was released by Lane County
Circuit Court staff on a pre-trial
release agreement.
The theft was discovered late
on the afternoon of Sept. 12. In-
vestigation of the missing funds
led to Trocki’s arrest less than
20 hours after the discovery. It
appears a bulk of the theft oc-
curred from June 2016 to the
present. The Sheriff’s Offi ce
hired an independent auditor to
review the Sheriff’s Offi ce fi -
nancials to ensure all discrepan-
cies have been identifi ed.
State delays Dungeness crab season coastwide
T
he traditional Dec. 1 open-
ing of the commercial
Dungeness crab season along
the entire Oregon coast will be
delayed due to concerns about
domoic acid levels in some ar-
eas, the Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife recently an-
nounced.
During recent testing, domoic
acid in crab viscera from the
Garibaldi area was above the
alert level that normally triggers
action.
Based on these results and
consultations with several
other agencies, the Oregon De-
partment of Fish and Wildlife
(ODFW) is exercising an abun-
dance of caution and delaying
the ocean commercial Dunge-
ness crab season along the en-
tire Oregon coast.
“Oregon’s commercial crab
industry and the department
place a high priority on mak-
ing sure that seafood consumers
can be confi dent that they are
buying a safe, high-quality and
sustainable product when they
purchase Oregon Dungeness
crab,” said Caren Braby, ODFW
Marine Resource Program Man-
ager.
Fish and Wildlife said it will
continue to work closely with
ODA and the Oregon commer-
cial Dungeness crab industry
to test crab along the coast to
ensure an opening of the com-
mercial crab season on safe and
high quality crab. In close co-
ordination with ODA and the
Oregon commercial Dungeness
crab industry, ODFW plans to
evaluate options for opening the
commercial season once addi-
tional domoic acid test results
are available.
Despite the delay, crab and
shellfi sh products sold in retail
markets and restaurants remain
safe for consumers.
All recreational and com-
mercial harvest of Dungeness
and red rock crab in Oregon’s
bays is currently closed south of
Tillamook Head (just south of
Seaside) due to elevated levels
of domoic acid. The opening of
recreational crab harvest in the
ocean and bays will be decided
pending additional domoic acid
testing.
Domoic acid or amnesic
shellfi sh toxin can cause minor
to severe illness and even death.
Severe poisoning can result in
dizziness, headaches, vomiting
and diarrhea. More severe cases
can result in memory loss and
death. Shellfi sh toxins are pro-
duced by algae and originate in
the ocean. Toxins cannot be re-
moved by cooking, freezing or
any other treatment.
