The FBI announced a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the suspect responsible for the ballot box fires that occurred in Vancouver, Washington, and Portland, Oregon.

The first incident occurred in Vancouver on Oct. 8, in which a device was placed in a drop box with the phrases “Free Palestine” and “Free Gaza” written on it.
A couple of weeks later, two more ballot boxes — one in Portland and another in Vancouver — were set on fire with incendiary devices marked with the message “Free Gaza.”
Both ballot boxes were equipped with fire suppression systems, but the system inside the ballot box in Vancouver failed, causing more ballots to be destroyed.

Police said the incendiary devices were placed on the outside of the boxes.
FBI Portland has said it is actively investigating both situations.
Officials said they believe that all three incidents are connected and believe that the man suspected of setting the drop boxes on fire is an experienced metalworker and may be planning additional attacks.
Authorities describe the suspect as a White male between 30 and 40, who is balding with short hair.

The FBI said a surveillance camera captured images of an early 2003 to 2004 Volvo S-60 sedan, described to be dark, with dark wheels and a light-colored interior, driven by the suspect believed to be responsible for these crimes.
Officials said the vehicle does not have a Volvo logo on the front grill.

At the time of the Oct. 28 incident, the vehicle also displayed a fraudulent temporary Washington state license plate on the rear and no front license plate. The plate, which is not associated with a Volvo, may no longer be on the vehicle, officials said.
No ballots were damaged in the Oct. 8 incident. Only three ballots were damaged in the arson in Portland, but hundreds were damaged in the attack in Vancouver.

Greg Kimsey, the elected auditor in Clark County, Washington, said the exact number of ballots destroyed in Vancouver was not known, but officials retrieved about 475 damaged ballots from the box.
Kimsey previously called the arson a “direct attack on democracy,” just days before Election Day.

Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart (#7) signals for a first down during a Big Ten college football game between the No. 1 Ducks and No. 20 Illinois at Autzen Stadium in Eugene on Saturday Oct. 26, 2024. Sean Meagher/The Oregonian
If Evan Stewart is going to return to the field this season, it’s unlikely to be in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
The Oregon receiver, who has missed the whole season recovering from a torn right meniscus, was downgraded to doubtful for Saturday’s game between the No. 5 Ducks and No. 12 seed James Madison.
It’s not a surprising development, as Stewart appeared limited during the open portion of Monday’s practice.
Receivers Dakorien Moore (knee) and Gary Bryant Jr. (ankle) are listed as questionable for a third straight day, as are cornerback Sione Laulea and safety Trey McNutt (leg).
Moore posted “back” to social media on Thursday and Laulea indicated he was returning to play as well.

Officials are reminding drivers when confronted with high water to “turn around, don’t drown” as western Oregon continues to see heavy rainfall, swelling creeks and rivers.
Statesman Journal
Oregonians woke up to flooding, which was gradually dissipating the morning of Dec. 19, following a third atmospheric river that dumped 2-5 inches of rain in just 24 hours across northwest Oregon.

Many schools were delayed or canceled, some roads were closed and around 18,000 people were without power.
Heavy rain the night of Dec. 18 led to many roads being flooded across the Willamette Valley. But with only sporadic rainfall in the forecast, meteorologists said standing water should gradually drop.
Stream levels were still high and in some cases still in flood stages, on the Santiam, Clackamas and other smaller streams like the Pudding and Luckimute. But many had crested and were dropping as of the morning of Dec. 19.
“The rivers and creeks that respond rapidly will be coming down in next few hours, but some of the other larger streams are still on their way up and won’t crest until Saturday in some cases,” said Sebastian Westerink, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Portland.

Where did rivers flood their banks?
The most serious situation was on the Clackamas River near Estacada and Oregon City, where the river reached major flood levels.
Closer to Salem, moderate flooding was seen on the Santiam River in Jefferson while the Luckimute, Molalla and Pudding rivers were also still rising into major flood levels.
The Willamette River in Salem will continue to rise above action stage and not crest until Dec. 20, likely leaving some low-lying roads and sites like Minto-Brown Island Park closed.

24 hour rainfall totals (7 a.m. on Dec. 18 to 7 a.m. on Dec. 19)
Eagle Creek near Estacada: 2.77
Cascade Foothills: 4-6 inches
