hairline....OF THE DAMNED!

that guy looks like he knows his way around a can of pepper spray. anyone want to pool funds and sponsor him in the Mercury auction?

Let's hope he doesn't feel inclined to skip the charity aspect altogether.

Is that his mug shot or company ID?

Never mind, it's scary either way.

Is that the same John Minnis who is married to Karen Minnis? Damn this is a small town/state.

It's his mugshot, taken while he was working as a security officer, armed, in downtown Portland.

I don't know if John and Karen are related.

John and Karen Minnis are married.
Quite the power duo back when Ms. Minnis was House Speaker. [cue Darth Vader theme...]

Well well. When people finally realize I'm gay married to Randy Leonard, they'll stop blowing off my interview requests, I swear.

Although, he does keep hitting me. I don't know who to talk to.

What is the statute of limitations for DUI and failure to appear? I ask because that might explain why he passed the background check. I know that I, for example, can rent an apartment and get a job despite my multiple felonies, but that's only because the background check that apartments and employers use are relatively limited in the information that they provide. Although, one would think that the DPSST would be able to access that information as a state agency. Especially since, you know, the guy has a gun and all.

Matt, you are such a preditcably back stabbing little bitch for "blowing" our cover.

When you shag your cute little British ass home tonight I am going to give you an ass whuppin that will be the first of many to settle my "Braveheart" driven anger towards you.

Matt, you do realize that the "background checks" that DPSST does for private security are really not much more then LEDS/NCIC computer checks, and sometimes warrants just don't show up, especially older ones. It is a stupid system right now, but that is how it is set up.

On a side note, with this story you have become my hero, if I was a female I would have your child!

You should just go down to Salem and ambush Minnis in the parking lot or something, it's like they don't feel they need to be held accountable at all. Kind of scary.

Keep up the fight Matt!

1: I am the public and I have come to my own conclusion that DPSST failed.

1a: I'm shocked that homeboy has zero interest in doing any PR work to make DPSST not look inept. Reason? They look inept.

2: That guy is all sketchy? Really? That guy?

Martin: it's a good thing you asked about the statute of limitations.

Anglin's attorneys argued for a dismissal of the case in court on the basis it was so long since the original warrant. But after some back and forth, and a reading of the original police report, it was hard for the judge to believe Anglin couldn't have known he'd been cited.

He caused a four-car pile-up on the I-5 bridge after having shared two pitchers of beer with his friend at a North Portland strip club—the Dancing Bare—two more pitchers at a Vancouver bar, Oscars, and shared 6 beers at his house before leaving. He needed staples in his head, told the officer and one of the pile-up victims he was too drunk to drive, that he was sorry, and then tried to claim in court 9 years later he was "surprised" there was a warrant out for his arrest.

A copy of Anglin's original citation is in his court file—Anglin tried to argue in court that the arresting officer, Darrell Shaw, might have given the citation to his girlfriend at the time. But the judge wasn't convinced. Why would she have withheld it from him?

There was some argument in court about Anglin's statute of limitations not counting, because prosecution began when he didn't show up for court on the basis of the citation. Attorneys for both sides argued the point from case law, but ultimately, it went on to trial and Anglin was found guilty.

He apologized to the victims for what had happened. Now he is appealing the case at the Supreme Court in Salem.
