Jury Finds Protester Guilty

(Portland, OR) -- A Multnomah County jury has found a man guilty for reckless driving during a protest in 2020. Prosecutors say Timothy Swales was driving a car toward police who were in the street during a protest near the Southeast Precinct when an officer told Swales to stop and turn off the engine. He backed up at 30 miles an hour and tried to turn. An officer in a patrol car blocked his car and Swales was arrested. Police found an open container of alcohol in the car. Swales was sentenced to 18-months formal probation and his license was temporarily revoked.
