Three people were arrested Satur-

and stabbing at the Chevron Circle K
on U.S. Highway 97 earlier in the day,
Redmond Police said in a prepared
statement.
Abraham Sandoval
Ruiz, 24, of Central
Oregon; Brandon Pe-
tri, 21, of Bend; and
Meahgan Webb, 31,
of Madras, are being
held at the Deschutes
County jail, police
Petri
said.
Police say the three
suspects entered
the Circle K about
3:30 a.m. Saturday,
each wearing masks.
They attempted to
reach the cash regis-

ter and one of them
stabbed an employee
multiple times, police
said. The employee,
a 27-year-old Red-
mond woman, was
transported to St.
Charles Redmond
with serious injuries.
Webb
Police said Sunday
she was recovering.
Police were told about 9:35 p.m.
Saturday that the suspects had driven
to the Redmond Walmart. When ap-
proached by police, the suspects drove
off, leading officers on a chase.
Officers used tire-deflating devices to
slow the suspects, who had driven south
on Highway 97 before turning west onto
SW Tomahawk Avenue. Their car be-
came disabled in a field, where officers
arrested the three suspects.
The suspects face an array of
charges, including first-degree robbery
and first degree assault, police said.
Man stabbed on China Hat Road
in witness-tampering case
A 33-year-old Bend man allegedly
stabbed a man early Sunday who he
thought was going
to provide informa-
tion about him in a
criminal case, the De-
schutes County Sher-
iff’s Office said in a
prepared statement.

assault, unlawful use of a weapon and
tampering with a witness, according to
the statement from Sgt. Ron Brown.
Deputies responded after a woman
called 911 about 12 a.m. Sunday to say
her friend, a 32-year-old Bend man,
had been stabbed in the neck and head
on China Hat Road near Sunset View
Drive, Brown said. Paramedics met the
woman and the victim in the parking
lot of the Bend Walmart and took the
victim to St. Charles Bend in serious
condition.
“The investigation determined that
Reyes knew the victim and believed the
victim was a witness in another crimi-
nal case involving Reyes,” Brown said.
“Reyes met up with the victim and a fe-
male witness on China Hat Road with
the purpose of assaulting the male, be-
cause Reyes believed the male gave in-
formation about him in the other crimi-
nal case. When Reyes arrived, he and the
victim got into a physical fight where the
victim was eventually stabbed.”
The sheriff’s office would not say
how Reyes was identified as a suspect.
3 escape from juvenile detention
after staffer is assaulted
Three teenagers escaped the Mc-
Laren Youth Correctional Facility in
Woodburn early Sunday after author-
ities accused them of attacking and
stealing keys from a staff member be-
fore escaping through a fence.
The Oregon Youth Authority, which
runs the state’s prisons for juvenile of-
fenders, said the three are considered a
risk to themselves or others.
They are Preston Andrizzi, 19, con-
victed of second-degree assault in Mar-
ion County; Anthony Fitz-Henry, 18,
adjudicated for second-degree bur-
glary in Marion County; and Christian
Goin, 17, adjudicated for fourth-degree
assault in Linn County. All three are
from the Salem and Albany areas.
MacLaren, the state’s largest juve-
‘Dope lawyer’ to the stars
Brian Rohan dies at 84
San Francisco Chronicle
Brian Rohan, who was
known as San Francisco’s “dope
lawyer” for 1960s countercul-
ture clients like the Grateful
Dead and Ken Kesey, has died,
according to a newspaper re-
port Sunday. He was 84.
Rohan’s daughter, Kathleen
Jolson, said her father died
Tuesday at his home in the Bay
Area city of Larkspur after a
six-year battle with cancer.
After defending Kesey, author
of “One Flew Over the Cuck-
oo’s Nest,” for marijuana posses-
sion in 1965, Rohan became the
go-to attorney for illegal drug
charges, the Chronicle said.
Rohan co-founded the
Haight Ashbury Legal Organi-
zation and the group recruited
clients in part by setting up a
table outside the Grateful Dead
house at 710 Ashbury Street.
Thanks to his association
with the Grateful Dead, Rohan
SALEM
also became a music lawyer. In
1966, he helped the band nego-
tiate its first contract with War-
ner Bros. He also represented
Janis Joplin, Santana and Jef-
ferson Airplane.
His nonmusician clients
included Beat writer Neal
Cassady and members of the
Merry Pranksters, the commu-
nal travelers chronicled in Tom
Wolfe’s 1968 book “The Elec-
tric Kool-Aid Acid Test.”
Rohan spent his entire life
on the West Coast, growing up
in Washington before attend-
ing the University of Oregon
and then University of Califor-
nia Hastings College of Law.
Jolson said he died in his sleep.
“He worked until the last day
of his life, clutching his phone
in one hand and his iPad in
the other,” she said. “He fought
for his clients, he fought for his
friends, and he fought for what
he thought was right.”
nile correctional campus, was placed
on lockdown after the escape, and vis-
itation was canceled for the day. Sarah
Evans, a spokesperson for the Oregon
Youth Authority, said it was the first
escape at the facility since at least 2000,
when a perimeter fence was installed.
Car plummets from I-405 ramp
onto another car in Portland
A car drove off the side of an In-
terstate 405 ramp near the Fremont
Bridge late Saturday, plummeting to
the street below.
The Portland Police Bureau tweeted
that the car fell from the viaduct to
a parking area near NW 16th Ave-
nue and Overton Street. Police photos
showed a heavily damaged white car
that had landed on another vehicle.
The car caught fire, police said, and
the driver suffered severe injuries. The
driver’s condition was not known Sun-
day morning.
The crash investigation was focused
on the ramp leading from Interstate
405 on the Fremont Bridge to west-
bound U.S. Highway 30, which was
closed for part of the night.
Teen shot in back at Salem
elementary school dies
One of two 17-year-old boys shot in
the back Wednesday at a Salem elemen-
tary school died Saturday, according to
the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
The shooting in a parking lot at Four
Corners Elementary School left another
youth with non-life-threatening injuries.
A teenager found after the shooting
has been charged with first-degree rob-
bery, unlawful possession of a firearm,
unlawful use of a weapon and first-de-
gree theft.
None of the youths has been publicly
identified. The shooting remains under
investigation.

Protesters
clash at
Capitol
House session canceled
Monday due to COVID-19
The Oregonian
Dueling protest groups faced off
near the grounds of the Oregon Capi-
tol building Sunday afternoon. Police
tried to separate the groups, but skir-
mishes broke out in the surrounding
blocks. In a particularly volatile mo-
ment, one man was taken into custody
by police after he confronted a crowd
with a gun. Others were detained as
police ordered the crowd to disperse.
Right-wing demonstrators initially
gathered in Sandy for a “Freedom
Rally” then traveled to the Capitol. A
flyer for the event said they planned a
“flag wave to honor those who fought
for our freedoms.”
The plans attracted more than 150
counterprotesters, who arrived at the
Capitol hours earlier. They billed their
gathering as a “direct action in opposi-
tion to a fascist event.”
The crowd pelted passing trucks —
many flying a combination of Amer-
ican, Thin Blue Line and Trump flags
— with paint and objects that in some
cases shattered windows. Police de-
clared the gathering an unlawful as-
sembly, telling the crowd to disperse.
Monday session
House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Port-
land, announced early Sunday eve-
ning that Monday’s day and evening
floor sessions of the House have been
canceled due to a second reported
COVID-19 case linked to floor activity
among the 60 lawmakers and staff.
Jessica Knieling, the Legislature’s in-
terim human resources director, sent a
buildingwide email notification Sun-
day that the person diagnosed with
COVID-19 had last been in the build-
ing March 16.
Kotek had canceled earlier floor ses-
sions because of an earlier reported
case also linked to floor activity on
March 16. No additional information
was provided about the timeline of the
case and whether it involved a law-
maker or staff.
The Oregon Capital Bureau’s Gary A. Warner
