Property Room (Juli Smith)

This chart shows the activity in our evidence room.

I had approximately 13 people (teachers, students and parents) contact me seeking advice, or referrals, and conducted 13 background checks for the school district.

The principal at Sandy Grade School contacted me regarding concerns of a parent “Being rough” with their child.  A bus driver, who wasn’t sure she could identify the child, reported the incident to the principal.  The driver gave a description of the vehicle, but was unable to get a plate number.  The driver and the principal looked at pictures of current students and determined who they believed was the child in question.  Upon going to the residence, I discovered it was not the person the bus driver had seen.

A member of the high school administrative staff contacted me regarding a possible drug deal she had witnessed between two students.  The students involved were contacted and it was determined one student did in fact sell his ADHD prescription medication to another student.  Both students were arrested and transported to the Clackamas County Juvenile Department in Oregon City.

I investigated another threat of gun violence at the high school.  The school received an anonymous letter naming two students who may be interested in bringing a gun to school.  I spoke with the two students and determined the students did not pose an immediate threat.  Some of the statements made by the students were concerning, but did not rise to level to involve law enforcement action.  I informed the principal of the concerning statements and suggested the students counselors speak with them.  In conclusion, the letter was a result of someone who had over heard a rumor. OTSD followed up with the students.

I assisted with a property investigation, where I was able to locate the owner of a cell phone that was found in Meinig Park

Three high school students reported their vehicle had been broken into while parked in the student lot.  The unknown suspect/s smashed a window and grabbed items easily visible inside the vehicles.

Three high school students were cited for Minor in Possession of alcohol when they decided to bring alcohol to school and drink it during lunch.  The students were released to their parents and the case was forwarded to the Clackamas County Juvenile Department.

An altercation between a parent and a high school student occurred at the end of the school day.  The parent came onto school property to pick up his daughter when he spotted another student who allegedly owed him money.  The parent confronted the student and an argument ensued.  The parent head butted the student then shoved him before a school administrator stepped in and ended the incident.  The parent now faces criminal charges and is trespassed from OTSD property.  The case was forwarded to the DA’s office.
