The Police Blotter

Every Thursday, I feature highlights from the Lake Oswego Review Police Blotter. Here are some of my favorites from 2007: A man said that a neighbor lets his dog poop wherever it likes, and doesn’t clean up after it. When police contacted the neighbor, he “denied any wrongpooing.” A woman on Boones Ferry Road just sat there when the light turned green. A man reported a sick squirrel in his neighbor's yard. Police later arrived and discovered that the squirrel had recovered and run off. A...Read Full Story

The truck driver, with his soul patch, wore jeans and a work coat, the silver haired wagon driver was emblazoned in her...Read Full Story
