GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — The resignation of the head of the Oregon attorney general’s environmental crimes unit apparently stems from the way a water sample was collected in a pollution case against a Hood River juice manufacturer.

Brent Foster resigned Tuesday.

Attorney General John Kroger would only say that the resignation came after Foster told him he misrepresented his involvement in the investigation of criminal water pollution charges against the owner of Hood River Juice.

Columbia Riverkeeper Brett VandenHeuvel says Foster was with him last October when he picked up a sample of a discharge across the street from the Hood River Juice factory. He adds he picked up the sample the request of the Hood River County district attorney’s office.
