West Linn City Manager Jerry Gabrielatos said he’s holding off making a decision until he gives Capt. Oddis Rollins a chance to respond to concerns raised by outside consultants about the internal inquiry he conducted into Michael Fesser’s allegations.

More than 240 people signed a petition started in West Linn urging the city to hold police Capt. Oddis Rollins accountable for a lackluster internal investigation into the arrest of Michael Fesser, a Black man from Portland who was accused of bogus theft charges in 2017.
Recently released report shows how West Linn dealt with racial discrimination lawsuit.
Over the past seven months Michael Gennaco and Robert Miller of the investigative firm OIR Group have attempted to piece together everything that went wrong for the city of West Linn and who is to blame since the moment Michael Fesser served city officials with a tort claim alleging racial discrimination by West Linn police on June 4, 2018.
While it was fairly easy to find fault with the actions of former Chief Terry Timeus and former Sgt. Tony Reeves (as the Clackamas County District Attorney s office demonstrated in its Brady investigative report released in May), the OIR investigators focused on when and how the city from its administrators to members of the police department, elected officials, attorneys and insurance providers failed to handle the aftermath of the illegal and racially-motivated 2017 arrest of Fesser.
