PORTLAND — Jared Walter, a 31-year-old man convicted or implicated in nearly two dozen instances of cutting, gluing or ejaculating into women’s hair on TriMet buses for nearly a decade, is out of jail and no longer barred from riding public transit — despite recently violating his probation.
Walter, known as the TriMet Barber for his slew of crimes in the Portland area dating to 2009, got out of jail Nov. 20 but had his probation revoked Nov. 14 after he failed to report to his supervising officer, records show.
But TriMet is powerless to prevent him from riding.
The registered sex offender had been placed on probation for five years in March as part of the terms of his conviction for a May 2017 incident during which he cut off a women’s hair in Washington County while on a TriMet bus.
Those requirements also stipulated Walter couldn’t own or possess any “sexually stimulating visual or auditory materials that are relevant to the defendant’s deviant behaviors.”
