School Resource Officer Report – Officer Way

I had approximately 18  people (teachers, students and parents) contact me seeking advice or referrals and conducted 39 background checks for the school district.

An outside agency contacted me requesting information regarding a homicide case they are investigating.

A high school teacher reported smelling marijuana coming from a student’s backpack.  Upon further investigation, a small amount of marijuana was located inside the backpack.  The student claimed it did not belong to him and stated “I was holding it for a friend”.  The student was charged with possessing marijuana within 1000’ of a school and transported to the juvenile department in Oregon City.

A copper theft was reported to me by an employee of a cell phone provider.  The employee reported sometime in the past six months someone removed several copper items from the cell tower site located behind the old high school.

Over spring break several power tools were stolen from the environmental science storage shed near the high school.  There was no sign of forced entry, it is unknown if the door was left unsecured or the suspect/s cut the padlock and took it with them.

I had a Clackamas County Sheriff’s office drug detection K-9 unit conduct a walk-through of the halls at the high school.  The K-9 “Hit” on several lockers, but no drugs were found.

On three separate occasions I encountered students from other high schools on our high school campus during school hours.  Each were waiting to either meet their girl friends for lunch or to meet them after school.  Each was polite and unaware they could not be on campus and left without incident.

The principal from Cedar Ridge Middle School requested my assistance with four unwanted juveniles at the skate park during school hours.  Officer Hodges and myself responded and contacted the juveniles.  Ultimately, the juveniles were advised they are no longer welcome at the skate park (mainly due to their poor attitudes and respectfulness) and their parents were contacted and informed of the situation.

Patrol

Officer Steffanson saw an abandon unlicensed vehicle in the undeveloped housing area behind the theater.  Upon investigating, he found the vehicle was stolen and filled with stolen property.  We found ID and possibly DNA evidence inside the vehicle leading to a suspect.  Further investigation found our suspect is wanted in several other jurisdictions for burglaries and other crimes.  Some of the recovered stolen property was from a commercial burglary in Redmond Oregon.  Here is a photo of what was recovered.
