PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – A federal judge has sentenced a Portland man to 21 months in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm in a case in which the man’s then-11-year-old son used the loaded gun in an attempted carjacking. The Oregonian reports that Joseph Charlton confessed to police that he kept the loaded handgun in the glove box of his truck, and his son had gotten it without his permission.
MOUNT HOOD, Ore. (AP) – The U. S. Geological Survey recorded a small quake early Thursday at Mount Hood. The quake at 1:52 a.m. was a magnitude 2.6 at a depth of about two miles.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – The 3-year-old Great Dane was miserable, retching and vomiting, when his owners rushed him to a northwest Portland emergency animal hospital. It was something he ate!
