PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A Lincoln City police officer wounded during a Jan. 23 traffic stop on the Oregon coast has been discharged from a Portland hospital. Lincoln City police say Officer Steven Dodds was transferred Tuesday from Legacy Emanuel Medical Center to an undisclosed location to continue his recovery.

Lt. Jerry Palmer says the search for suspect David Durham continues. The TV show “America’s Most Wanted” is expected to air a segment featuring Durham this Saturday. The FBI has offered a $10,000 reward for help in capturing the 43-year-old Portland man.

Officer Dodds was near death after he was shot by a driver he pulled over for speeding.
