After the Forest Grove family was frightened, police didn t tell the victims their alleged intruder was a fellow cop.
Steven Teets, the off-duty Forest Grove police officer accused of criminal trespass against a Latino couple flying a Black Lives Matter flag last Halloween, was so intoxicated and belligerent when contacted by other officers that he was ready to fight his fellow cops, Pamplin Media Group has learned.
The new details, contained in a five-page Washington County Sheriff s Office memo, substantiate the account of Forest Grove resident Mirella Castaneda, which first received widespread media coverage in early November.
Shortly before 1 a.m. on Halloween, Castaneda poked her head outside to see who had set off the alarm on her family s pickup truck, at which point an unknown man charged at her in apparent rage, pounded on her front door and appeared eager to fight. She saw him bang on her Black Lives Matter flag as well.

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.
