Feds discuss decision not to pursue charges against West Linn officers involved in 2017 false arrest.
Two months after federal prosecutors decided not to pursue charges against the West Linn police officers involved in the 2017 false arrest of Michael Fesser, some in the West Linn community and others in the Portland area are still disappointed and angry at the decision.
But they also have a bit of hope.
An FBI investigator and the U.S. Attorney s Office for the District of Oregon met with community members to hear their concerns and explain their decision at a virtual meeting April 20.
West Linn police falsely arrested Fesser, a Black Portlander, in 2017 as a favor to Fesser s boss, a friend of then-WLPD Chief Terry Timeus. The boss, Eric Benson, feared Fesser was going to file a lawsuit against him and his southeast Portland towing company for the racial discrimination he said he faced at work.
