Here is the latest Oregon news from The Associated Press
ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) – A decision by the Oregon Court of Appeals to overturn a Roseburg woman’s drunken driving conviction may affect whether jail inmates headed for trial in Oregon are fitted with restraints. Sherie Wall was fitted with leg restraints hidden beneath pants or a dress in pretrial hearings. She pleaded guilty after a judge denied her request to remove the restraints. The Court of Appeals ruled the restraints interfered with her right to a fair trial. Prosecutors have yet to decide whether to appeal.
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – A 36-year-old Eugene man who offered an undercover officer the services of what he called “prosti-tots” has been sentenced to a decade behind bars.

He was sentenced Monday in federal court in Portland.
