Search warrant served for evidence of aggravated theft I & agg identify theft I, theft I & identify theft. Are these my charges?:
I have provided care for my brother for 10yrs after stroke. Our mother took care of his finances, she gave me his debit card for food & what ever I felt he needed. She passed & now my sister has launched a forensic audit on his accts. I had permission from our mom to use his card, she had POA. After her passing my brother gave POA to me, I left town for 2 wks & our sister had our brother take me off POA & she is now his POA. APS is now involved. My brother does not want to press charges, can this be stopped? I don’t know what I’m being charged with. I went to sheriff office & asked about getting my phone back & they said maybe in a couple of weeks. I’m my brothers main support line & he can’t get ahold of me now, and I’m awaiting surgery & my Dr needs to get ahold of me too. They said nothing about any charges, I don’t know what to do.
Also on the second page of the warrant where the date is - DATED this _17_day of May 2022, at_14:28_AM/PM, May & 22 are XX’d out without any initials & APPROVED by circuit court judge July 17, 2025. Please help me to know what I should do & what to expect. Do I need an attorney, if I do I will hire one.
Thank you
Mark’s answer: It is clear that you are under investigation for serious criminal charges. You definitely should consult a criminal defense attorney in private to analyze the situation. Anything you post about this online on a public forum such as this can be accessed by the authorities. Do not post anything further about this. The only thing you can safely say to law enforcement is that you will not discuss this without your attorney present. This is a very perilous situation. I am not saying this to alarm you unnecessarily, but you have already stated way more than you should. The police are not on your side; they believe that they have probable cause to believe that you committed a serious crime, and they persuaded a judge of the same. Enough said?
When can a registered sex offender get off the registry?: I was convicted of promoting prostitution in 2005. I was the head of household with 5 children at home. And, in my defense, I had a meth addiction. They never offered me drug court and had detectives lie about me in my court hearings. I survived it all: 4 years in prison, doing every class, program and a dual diagnosis treatment program. Got out, did parole 3 full years in Clackamas County, graduated with an AAS degree at MT. Hood Community College, and worked at The men’s rehab for The Salvation Army for 5 years. I worked for Portland Community College almost 3 years at Rock Creek & Willow Creek. I am going to be 60 years old in December & in Jan. 2023 Washington County Police came to my apartment and wrote me a citation for not reporting my new address, which explained I had forgotten to report after having an emergency domestic violence move, to the frontline of the same apartment complex. I had so much anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, panic attacks & was diagnosed with depression.I did not mean to forget & after almost 16 years w/o getting into any trouble. Only one traffic ticket for drive 55 in a 45, nothing else. Now I can’t move.
Mark’s answer: The minimum waiting period in order for a person to apply for relief from sex offender registration is five years after the end of supervision. We have helped many people get relieved from having to register. It is impossible to analyze every element of this without further information. Your best move would be to contact an attorney and request a confidential consultation. We are available.
If you were to get caught stealing and was told by an officer you were under arrest aren’t you supposed to be marandized ?: i got caught stealing from a thrift store and a local d and b in pendleton oregon im originally from lagrande oregon i was told i was under arrest i did not get put in handcuffs or read my miranda rights. is that right to do and will that help anything at my court date
Mark’s answer: The police are required to issue Miranda warnings if the person is in custody, and they intend to question the suspect. If no Miranda warnings are given, any statements are inadmissible in court. You should discuss this with an attorney in private. Be aware that everything you post online is available to the prosecutor to use as evidence against you.
