(Portland, OR) -- Multnomah County's Sheriff is refusing to book violators of Portland's camping ban. Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O'Donnell says Portland's ordinance is not part of the County's booking criteria and she says booking people who are homeless is not the solution to the housing crisis. Morrisey O'Donnell says the higher priority for booking needs to be people who pose a danger to the public. The Sheriff says she told the Mayor's office in 2023 camping ban violators were not bookable and they are only eligible for citations.
