The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office said Monday it is charging a 43-year-old man with bias crimes related to an incident at a Southeast Portland gas station last week. Prosecutors allege Brian Miller entered the gas station’s store at Southeast Division Street and 145th Avenue Friday night, Jan. 22 after a disturbance in the parking lot and began yelling hate speech at an employee. The employee is from Afghanistan and is a Muslim.
A phone number listed for Trammell was not accepting calls on Monday.
According to a Jan. 20 press release, Trammell punctured one of the tires on a Portland Police Bureau (PPB) sound truck on Aug. 6 2020, while the vehicle was deployed on East Burnside Street during unrest. Police use the truck to make announcements and external and amplified verbal orders, the release states.
Law enforcement first submitted the case to the D.A. s office on Aug. 7, but the case was initially closed. PPB then re-submitted the case. A grand jury returned an indictment on Jan. 8, at which point Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt reinstated the case.

PORTLAND As about 50 people dressed head-to-toe in black stood in a standoff with Portland police blocking a parking lot behind Benson High School, several parents and coaches from a youth soccer program on the nearby field walked up to see what was going on.
“What are they marching for?” one soccer mom asked.
The anarchists, antifa and activists seemed at times to question that themselves.
