West Linn protests cop on leave from Oregon training agency March 10 2021
Mike Stradley has been on leave from his supervisor role at the state agency for over a year.
Mike Stradley, a former West Linn Police Department lieutenant, has been on leave for more than a year while his current employer the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training investigates his role in the 2017 false arrest of Michael Fesser. In that time, DPSST has paid him $131,844.91 in salary and benefits, according to the agency s human resources department.
In 2017, West Linn police concocted a plan to arrest Fesser, a Black Portland man, on theft charges as a favor to a friend of then-police Chief Terry Timeus. Timeus friend, Eric Benson, was Fesser s boss and feared he would sue him and his towing company over the racial harassment he faced at work.
