MEDFORD, Ore. – Months after the City of Medford passed a camping ordinance, police are continuing to sweep the Bear Creek Greenway collecting trash. At about 5:30a.m. Tuesday morning they swept another camp, but this time they met resistance.
TBone, an unhoused person who lived along the Bear Creek Greenway was arrested and released for allegedly refusing to leave what he says is his home. Housing advocate, Graham Trim was sleeping at TBone’s camp when police arrested him Tuesday morning.
“I was told to leave, to gather my things and leave this morning, I complied. I don’t know what happened to TBone. The first time I saw him this morning was about 2 seconds after I woke up. And he was in handcuffs,” said Trim.
