Portland Police declare riot after vigil
Associated Press
541-385-5804
PROTESTS | KILLING OF DAUNTE WRIGHT
Portland Police said a
demonstration protesting the
police killing of a Black man in
Minnesota turned into a riot
Monday night, with some in
the crowd throwing rocks and
other projectiles at officers.
At least 200 people gathered
around 8:30 p.m. at the Pen-
umbra Kelly Building, which
houses an office for the Mult-
nomah County sheriff, Port-
land Police and city offices, the
Portland Police Bureau said in
a statement. Some in the crowd
broke windows, tore down exte-
rior light fixtures and threw bot-
tles, rocks and fireworks at offi-
cers, prompting police to move
in, according to The Oregonian
and the police statement.
Police said they issued ver-
bal warnings to the crowd but
for Daunte Wright, 20, who was
killed by a Brooklyn Center po-
lice officer in the Minneapolis
suburb Sunday during a traffic
stop. Brooklyn Center Police
Chief Tim Gannon described
the shooting death as “an acci-
dental discharge.” On Tuesday,
Gannon and the white police
officer who fatally shot Wright,
officer Kim Potter, resigned —
moves that the Brooklyn Cen-
ter mayor said he hoped would
help heal the community and
lead to reconciliation after two
nights of protests and unrest.
Potter, a 26-year veteran, had
been on administrative leave
following Sunday’s shooting,
which happened as the Minne-
apolis area was already on edge
over the trial of the first of four
police officers in George Floyd’s
death.
Pair arraigned on
conspiracy to murder
stabbed in the neck near Sunset
View Drive off China Hat Road
south of Bend. Paramedics met
Douglas and one of his friends
at the Bend Walmart parking lot
near U.S. Highway 97. Douglas
was taken to St. Charles Bend in
serious condition.
Reyes was arrested the same
day. Delury was arrested April 2.
The alleged intimidation was
not enough to convince Douglas
to not testify against Reyes and
Delury, which he did April 9 be-
fore a grand jury, according to
court records.
Delury and Reyes now face
charges of conspiracy to commit
second-degree murder and con-
spiracy to commit first-degree
assault.
Reyes also faces attempted
murder and first-degree assault.
Delury also faces additional
charges: tampering with evi-
dence for allegedly deleting text
messages, resisting arrest and
tampering with a witness for al-
legedly trying on two occasions
to persuade Douglas to not tes-
tify in this case.

Climber rescued after
being stuck on South Sister
A climber on the north side
of South Sister was rescued
Monday after getting stranded
on a small ledge along steep
terrain.
Stephen Lamb, 49, of Bea-
verton, called 911 just before
9 a.m. to report he was climb-
ing alone on South Sister and
was unable to continue up or
down due to snow and ice that
surrounded him, according to
the Deschutes County Sheriff’s
Office.
Three volunteers from the
sheriff’s office search and res-
cue team were flown to the
South Sister summit, and six
more volunteers arrived at
the Devil’s Lake Trailhead on
snowmobiles.
Rescuers at the summit
climbed about 600 feet down a
ridge off the northwest side of
the mountain and then trav-
eled about 500 feet east directly
above Lamb.
At about 3:19 p.m., a search
and rescue volunteer rappelled
to Lamb and kept him from
falling.
About an hour later, Lamb
was hoisted aboard an Oregon
National Guard HH-60 Black-
hawk helicopter and flown to
the Sisters Airport.
Lamb was uninjured, but
exhausted from the long climb
and from holding onto a ledge
for more than seven hours, ac-
cording to the sheriff’s office.
OSU-Cascades tuition to

will be smaller for returning

OSU-Cascades’ graduate pro-
grams will not change next
school year, Coffin said.

students than new ones.
The university is raising tui-
tion by 2.5% for returning un-
dergrads and 4% for new un-
dergrads at both its Bend and
Corvallis campuses, accord-
ing to university spokespeo-
ple Christine Coffin and Steve
Clark.
This means that an under-
graduate student at OSU-Cas-
cades from Oregon will pay
$12,444 in tuition and fees for
a full-credit, three-term year in
2021-22, according to the uni-
versity’s website. That’s $279
more than the tuition and fees
for this year.
OSU decided to reduce the
tuition hike for returning stu-
dents to incentivize them to
stay and finish their degrees at
the university, Coffin told The
Bulletin.

Fuels specialists working
with the Deschutes National
Forest plan to conduct a pre-
scribed burn in areas west of
Bend on Thursday, including
areas around the Phil’s Trail
bike paths. The burn will be
visible to Bend residents and
drivers along Century Drive.
The project area is south of
Phil’s Trailhead and will in-
clude portions of KGB, COG
and Marvin’s Garden trails. The
bike trails will be closed during
the operation. Forest Road
4604 will also be closed along
with several small Forest Ser-
vice roads.
Prescribed burns are con-
ducted across areas of Central
Oregon to eliminate or reduce
ground cover that can fuel
wildfires in summer.
Thursday’s prescribed burn
is expected to cover 350 acres.
The ignitions will take place be-
tween 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. and
could be extended into Friday.
Smoke and residual burning
will be visible in the area for
up to a week after the ignition.
Nighttime and early morn-
ing smoke are expected to set-
tle in neighborhoods in west
Bend. Residents are encour-
aged to keep windows closed
and turn on headlights if
smoke is visible on roads.
A Bend man accused of trying
to kill a man he believed would
testify against him was arraigned
this week alongside a Bend
woman named as a co-conspir-
ator.
Anthony James Reyes al-
legedly conspired to lure Vance
Douglas to a remote area on
China Hat Road in order to kill
him, according to Deschutes
County court records. Doug-
las was seriously injured in the
attack March 28. A week later,
alleged co-conspirator Tesla
Brandt Delury attempted yet
again to induce Douglas to not
testify against Reyes, court re-
cords state.
Reyes, 33, and Delury, 30,
were arraigned Monday in De-
schutes County Circuit Court.
Both remain in custody and
have May court dates scheduled
to enter pleas in this case.
According to the Deschutes
County Sheriff’s Office, around
12 a.m. March 28, police were
called to a report of a man
