PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – A report of a disturbance involving men with guns outside a Portland apartment building led to a chase last night and the arrest of three men. Police said they used spike strips and rammed the fleeing car to force it to stop. They arrested three men for gun violations and possession of meth. Officers recovered a small amount of the drug, a replica gun and multiple knives.
TIGARD, Ore. (AP) – An anonymous benefactor paid off the layaway bills for five customers of the Toys R Us store in Tigard. The general manager says they had hundreds of dollars in outstanding balances. And Wednesday’s layaway angel wasn’t the only one. Another benefactor paid off a few other accounts earlier in the week. The manager told KATU they put accounts in a hat and drew names at random.
