"sick, he says he bought the water and stuck it in his bag, just to be thrown in jail. Why aren't they going after Fentynl dealers and child abusers?

The state allocated $20,000 to retail crime prevention. Oregon City Fred Meyers and local police arrested two people accused of stealing a bottle of water. A senior citizen was handcuffed and jailed despite claiming a migraine and saying he had purchased the water and placed it in his bag. Critics questioned why enforcement targeted petty theft rather than fentynyl dealers and child abusers. The detained man reportedly has never been jailed in over 60 years. The incident is characterized as a crime by Fred Meyers and OCPD against a protected-status innocent citizen.
