OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) — Clackamas County commissioners say they will name a special committee to review sheriff’s office employment practices after a string of crimes by deputies.
Clackamas County also faces a million-dollar lawsuit filed by victims of sheriff’s Sgt. Jeffrey Grahn, who murdered his wife and two other women before committing suicide this year.
Critics say the sheriff’s office failed to intervene when Grahn was accused of assaulting his wife and exhibited signs of an emotional breakdown months before the murder-suicide.
The Oregonian reported that other deputies have been arrested for crimes including robbery, official misconduct and sexual improprieties.
