A chance run-in with Forest Grove's police chief led a retired journalist down the rabbit hole to find the truth.
Part 1 of a series
A few months ago, I ran into Forest Grove Police Chief Henry Reimann outside the city library. I was on my way out after picking up some books and he was on his way in to record "Is Your Mama a Llama?" for the library's online storytime program.
As a member of the Forest Grove chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice, I'd gotten to know Reimann a bit and found him open and easygoing. So I asked if he had any updates on the Steven Teets case. You may have heard of it: an early morning attack by an intoxicated man on a Forest Grove family's home last Oct. 31.
