Do you feel the leaked information from a global warming alarmist organization is meaningful?



A 28-year-old Portland man described as unhappy about police response time to his 911 call walked onto Interstate 5 near Woodburn in an apparent attempt to get assistance more quickly.

No one was injured Monday but Marion County sheriff's Deputy Jeff Nicoloff said a tractor-trailer rig was forced to lock up its brakes to avoid hitting the man and several other vehicles had to take action to avoid hitting either the man or other cars.

Sheriff's Lt. Sheila Lorance said the deputy was traveling south on I-5 and saw the whole thing. The man was arrested for investigation of disorderly conduct.

Lorance said the intoxicated man told officers a friend he was riding with had kicked him out of the vehicle. The suspect called 911 and asked police to help him, but wasn't happy about how long it was taking for an officer to arrive.
