Tigard police chief Kathy McAlpine says those responsible for vandalism during protest will be held accountable.
Tigard Police Chief Kathy McAlpine made one thing clear Friday afternoon, Jan. 8: those responsible for committing crimes — from shattering windows to spray-painting buildings to engaging in other type of vandalism — will be held accountable.
McAlpine made those comments during a press conference the day after more than 100 protesters marched through downtown Tigard during a rally that was eventually be deemed a riot by Tigard police.
Those marching were protesting the death of 26-year-old Jacob Macduff, who Tigard police shot and killed Wednesday evening, Jan. 6, as they responded to a domestic call, saying that when confronted, Macduff had a knife and a struggle ensued. A roommate of Macduff's said he was having a mental crisis at the time he was shot.
