EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – Eugene police say a woman made up a story about being kidnapped from a store parking lot last weekend. The Register-Guard reports that police have cited the 35-year-old Cottage Grove woman for filing a false report. Police say the woman’s story fell apart after investigators looked at surveillance footage of the parking lot.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Oregon State Police say a Reedsport police officer shot and critically wounded a man while responding to a report of a vehicle fire on U.S. Highway 101 on the Oregon coast. Police say a school bus driver stopped to help the man, but backed away and called for help when he saw the man had a gun.
NEWPORT, Ore. (AP) – The Oregon Coast Aquarium at Newport is caring for an ailing olive ridley sea turtle that washed ashore on the southwest Washington coast. KPTV reports the 41-pound turtle was found much farther north, with far colder water than the turtles are used to. Workers have been administering fluids to slowly raise the turtle’s body temperature.
