Here is the latest Oregon news from The Associated Press
ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) – State troopers and Douglas County deputies are looking for a woman who was reported missing on the way to the Crater Lake area. Family and friends of 51-year-old Andria Terrell tell police they haven’t heard from her and haven’t been able to contact her cellphone. Phone activity shows the last location was yesterday afternoon near Canyonvile. Terrell is a traveling nurse currently working in Eugene.
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – Student athletes an Oregon school district must submit to drug tests this year, a proposal that began at the urging of students. The South Lane School Board has approved a plan to test every student athlete at least once per season, with some random tests also administered. The Junction City School District has adopted a similar plan. Students who fail three tests will be removed from the teams.
MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) – An Alaska man has been convicted of assaulting a Medford police officer during a DUI arrest after a jury rejected his claim that he was brutalized by police. The Medford Mail Tribune reports a dashboard camera shows a police officer attempting to arrest Chad Paxton and another officer coming to her aid. Police say Paxton struck both officers.
PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) – The city of Irrigon had a public library for less than a month after a blueprint mix-up. Now, the city’s sole library is back to operating out of a van. The East Oregonian reports the $1.2 million public library opened in May. But a wall was found to be insufficiently fireproof. So the library was shuttered in June.
