Former Oregon Ducks wide receiver Cameron Colvin has been arrested by the FBI on federal fraud charges, according to a report from Sportico.com.

Daniel Libit reported that Colvin, who played for Oregon from 2004 through 2007, was arrested Thursday morning and charged with fraud and transactional money laundering.

Libit reported that a nine-page federal indictment, filed on Oct. 21, accused Colvin of “defrauding individuals of more than $1.25 million through purported investment opportunities and personal relationships, including with women he was romantically involved with.”

Colvin overcame childhood tragedy to become a star football player at De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif.

His parents died during his teen years and never saw him sign with Oregon in 2004 as a five-star recruit or play for the Ducks.

After an unsuccessful attempt to establish an NFL career, Colvin entered the real estate world, later starting CamCo Commercial Inc. in Nevada.

Sportico reported in August that the FBI was investigating Colvin for alleged investment fraud schemes.

According to the Sportico report, Colvin has been sued for fraud numerous times by former employees, business partners and romantic partners.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are playing the blame game when it comes to the federal government shutdown.

KOIN 6 News Political Director Ken Boddie received reactions from two congressmen. Congressman Cliff Bentz, the only Republican in the Oregon delegation, and Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley shared their differing views on the stalemate and how it can come to an end.

Merkley said 210,000 Oregon children and 130,000 Oregon seniors will see a pause in their SNAP benefits because of the government shutdown. More than 700,000 Oregonians will be affected overall.

Merkley said the president is playing politics with Americans’ health by not activating a $5 billion contingency fund or using tariff revenue to fill the gap.

“I mean, who in the United States says, ‘I’m going to make sure children go hungry for a month as a political tactic.’ Who says that except this president in this time? It’s unethical, it’s immoral,  it’s illegal, and we’re here to say, ‘hell no,’” Merkley said.

“It takes 60 votes to get something done in the Senate. We have 53 Republicans. The Democrats have the power to stop anything, without shutting down the government. Why are they shutting down the government? What they’re doing is saying, ‘If you don’t do it our way, we’re just going to close down the government and make a lot of people suffer,’” Bentz said.

Democrats say they’re holding out on the continuing resolution to preserve health care subsidies that would be eliminated if it passes. Those tax credits are set to expire at the end of the year.

Meanwhile, 26 state attorneys general, including Oregon’s Dan Rayfield, are suing the Trump administration to release the SNAP benefits.

The bottom line, 42 million Americans, overall, stand to lose their food assistance benefits come November 1, no matter who’s to blame.
