NEWS RELEASE *** (Photos Attached) ***
For Joshua Devore, a 15-year-old victim, this was serious!
On Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. a Clackamas County Sheriff's Deputy, patrolling for the City of Happy Valley, was dispatched to an initial report of suspicious person being chased in the Albertson's parking lot, located at SE 147th and Sunnyside Road.
This same suspect being chased was soon reported to have departed the area riding on a moped.
Shortly after this reported incident at Albertson's, the same witness observed the suspect riding the moped at the Rock Creek Middle School, located on SE Parklane Drive, in Happy Valley.
The suspect in operation of the moped was then observed by witnesses abandoning the motorized moped and removing a BMX bicycle from the rear of a parked pick-up truck at the school. This was registration day at the school and the school parking lot was busy with parents registering children for the new school year.
As the Deputy Sheriff arrived in the area of the school parking lot, he was flagged down by Joshua Devore, age 15 – who anxiously reported witnesses observing the suspect removing the (Devore) BMX bicycle from the rear of the family truck. Understandably, the Deputy indicates Joshua Devore was very upset with this reported theft of his bicycle.
A short time later, dispatchers received additional reports of a suspicious person attempting to enter automobiles in the parking lot of New Seasons, located on SE 157th and Sunnyside.
The Deputy responded to this urgent new call at New Seasons, while Joshua Devore and his friends went on the frantic search for the stolen bicycle and suspect.
It wasn't very long when Joshua Devore called into dispatch reporting he spotted his stolen bicycle being ridden by a white male, wearing a tan shirt, black hat and red undershirt – near the Albertson's parking lot.
Eventually, the suspected thief was stopped by the Deputy while the suspect was peddling the stolen bike along SE Oregon Trail Drive and SE Campfire Way, in Happy Valley.
This stop identified the suspect as Anthony L. Maynord, age 20, of SE Portland. This investigating Deputy was able to determine all the following criminal activity believed attributed to Anthony Maynard:
• Maynard had been in operation of a previously reported stolen moped from Hood River; which, was recovered from the area of the Rock Creek School.
• The theft of keys removed from an unattended Volvo parked in the Albertson's Parking lot (Found in his possession).
• An assortment of 'Jiggle keys' – vehicle ignition keys that have been altered to assist thieves in stealing automobiles (Found in his possession).
• And, most significantly – the theft and recovery of the stolen $1,000 BMX bicycle belonging to Joshua Devore.
Anthony Lee Maynard, age 20, was arrested and transported to the Clackamas County Jail and lodged with the following charges identified as:
1. Unauthorized use of a motor vehicle
2. Theft in the first-degree
Anthony Maynard has since been released from custody and scheduled to appear on this matter September 3, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. in Clackamas County Circuit Court. (Photo Attached)
Joshua Devore is very pleased with the safe return of his bicycle and is especially proud to have contributed to the effort of locating the suspect and his stolen bicycle. (Photos Attached)
Joshua worked hard earning the $650.00 necessary to purchase a unique Eastern BMX bicycle; plus the additional $250.00 for the added set of white wheels he added to the bicycle, and the $100.00 necessary to furnish his bike with a bicycle seat autographed by the famous BMX rider Jamie Bestwick at the "Dew Tour".[END]
