As state pays $150,000 to settle suit against former Hood River County DA, state bar files formal complaint
The state of Oregon is paying $150,000 to settle a lawsuit on behalf of former Hood River County District Attorney John Sewell, who was accused of trumping up a criminal charge against a hospital security manager because her staff had placed a parking notice on his wife’s car. The settlement was filed Wednesday, the same day that the Oregon State Bar filed a formal complaint against Sewell, stemming from his attempted prosecution of Richardson.
