25 people in Portland jail
test positive for COVID-19
Officials confirmed Tuesday
that another COVID-19 out-
break at Multnomah County’s
Inverness Jail has infected 25
people in custody in the past
month. Those in custody at the
northeast Portland jail were
not taken to their court appear-
ances Monday because of the
outbreak, according to written
notices posted at the Mark O.
Hatfield U.S. Courthouse.
Multnomah County Sher-
iff’s Office spokesperson Chris
Liedle told The Oregonian
the outbreak started May 23
when a person lodged at In-
verness who had been showing
COVID-19 symptoms tested
positive for the virus.
Liedle said almost all those
who have since tested positive
have had mild or no symp-
toms. One inmate was hospi-
talized, Liedle said, but is now
back in jail.
He said inmates are regu-
larly offered COVID-19 vac-
cines and that the county has
reduced its jail population
by one-third and increased
COVID-19 testing.

LOCAL BRIEFING
Road construction to limit
access near Dillon Falls
Hikers, bicycle riders and
other users of the Deschutes
River Trail near Dillon Falls
should be aware of road con-
struction crews active in the
area over the coming days.
Heavy equipment oper-
ations and the potential for
travel delays or closures could
occur along Forest Road 41,
according to a release from the
Deschutes National Forest.
The boat launch at Dillon
Falls will not be usable by the
public during the road recon-
struction. Heavy equipment
will also be operating in this
highly used area.
Work crews will also be
conducting work on the south
end of Forest Road 4606 com-
ing from Skyliners Road for
the next several weeks. Heavy
equipment will be operating
along this road and the public
is advised to avoid the area.
Forest roads 41 and 4606
remain open at this time, but
officials from the Deschutes
National Forest advise that clo-
sures may occur at the discre-
tion of the work crews.
Questions or concerns re-
garding the closures can be di-
rected to the Bend-Fort Rock
Ranger District at 541-383-
5300.
Spontaneous combustion
caused fire on reservation
A brush fire on the Warm
Springs Indian Reservation
shut down a portion of U.S.
Martinez said the fire is smol-
dering underneath the debris
from the mill.
“It kicks up and gets into the
dry grass, and takes off on its
own,” he said.
Fire crews from Jefferson
County, Warm Springs and the
Bureau of Indian Affairs were
working to put out the fire, said
Martinez. Air support had also
been called in to assist, in the
event that the fire jumps across
the Deschutes River.

Highway 26 on Thursday af-
ternoon. The fire was caused
by spontaneous combustion at
a disused sawmill on the res-
ervation, according to Danny
Martinez, emergency manager
for the reservation.
Martinez said the fire burned
about 2 to 3 acres of land on the
reservation near the Deschutes
River. No buildings had been
damaged by the blaze, which
was still active as of 5:50 p.m.
“It’s a recurring fire we have
had in the last couple of years
behind the old sawmill. It re-
kindles itself, re flares itself ; the
highway is shut down in case it
spots across the highway,” said
Martinez.
Martinez said the fire occurs
in the bark dust behind the
mill during hot weather. Simi-
lar fires have occurred during
the past two summers, and
Man injured after
crashing utility vehicle
A 64-year-old Prineville
man was seriously injured
Thursday morning after crash-
ing his off-road utility vehi-
cle into another vehicle near
Brasada Ranch.
Enrique Ambriz was cross-
ing SW Shumway Road in a
Toro utility terrain vehicle, of-
ten used as a golf cart, when
he reportedly failed to yield
to a vehicle driven by 40-year-
old Powell Butte resident Billy
Ferguson, according to the
Crook County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responded about
10:45 a.m. and found that
Ferguson swerved to avoid
striking Ambriz, but Ambriz’s
utility vehicle crashed into the
rear passenger side of Fergu-
son’s vehicle. The crash caused
Ambriz to be ejected from his
utility vehicle, according to the
sheriff’s office.
Ambriz was transported by
Air Link to St. Charles Bend
with serious injuries.
