PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A Multnomah County inmate who was arrested for allegedly stealing a state Department of Transportation truck last month has been indicted on five charges.
The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office says 25-year-old Scott Michael Smith is facing two counts of escape, unauthorized use of a vehicle, aggravated theft and theft.
Court documents say Smith escaped from custody March 22 and while on a work-crew assignment jumped into the truck and fled. He remained at large for 38 hours before he was found in a Gresham apartment.
