PORTLAND — A right-wing extremist who rose to prominence for fighting in Portland during political protests and fled the Pacific Northwest after being indicted on felony assault charges has been arrested.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reported that the U.S. Marshals Service detained 23-year-old Tusitala “Tiny” Toese at the Portland International Airport around 10:30 p.m. Friday.
That’s according to Brent Weisberg, a spokesman for the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office.
Toese was later booked into the Multnomah County jail on a pair of outstanding warrants.
