Woman, wanted man arrested after cocaine, cash, guns seized in Portland drug bust
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A woman and a wanted man are accused of drug trafficking after large amounts of cocaine, cash and illegal firearms were seized by police from a Northeast Portland home earlier this month.
On May 14, Portland police said members of their Narcotics and Organized Crime Unit, along with SERT and their Crisis Negotiation Team, executed a search warrant on a house in the 1600 block of Northeast 66th Avenue.

The search yielded nearly 200 grams of cocaine, almost $9,500 – which police say they believed to be drug profits – as well as three illegal handguns.
Both 46-year-old Patrick Rambert and 31-year-old Brianna Streeter were arrested at the scene.
Police said Rambert also had an outstanding probation warrant for criminally negligent homicide.
The next day, investigators searched a storage unit connected to Rambert and Streeter, finding and seizing six illegal firearms, as well as over 1,000 rounds of ammunition.

Rambert faces additional charges of felon in possession of a firearm (3 counts) and failure to appear in court.

Readers critique The Post: Spelling bees are pointless. So is correct spelling.
Every week, The Post runs a collection of letters of readers' grievances — pointing out grammatical mistakes, missing coverage and inconsistencies. These letters tell us what we did wrong and, occasionally, offer praise. Here, we present this week's Free for All letters. As a proud English teacher for 60 years, I read Nicole Krauss's May 25 Opinion essay, 'The end of writing and reading will be the end of freedom,' with enthusiasm — and with horror at the knowledge that so many young people have no concept of the joy of reading. It put into words all the fears I have had over the years about the written word becoming obsolete. It also brought me back to a sense of optimism that some of our youths still cherish reading. I hope I have nurtured all my students to read and appreciate the written word.

Chemical company director to stand trial for 2022 Flint River oil spill
The president of Lockhart Chemical Company will stand trial in connection with an oil spill in the Flint River in June 2022. Rajinder Singh Minhas, 60, of Rochester, was bound over for trial in Genesee County on four felony charges. Minhas served as Lockhart's president, treasurer and director. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel accuses Minhas of "mismanaging and neglecting critical maintenance and upgrades" at Lockhart, which led to oil spilling into the Flint River. On June 15, 2022, more than 15,000 gallons of an oil-chemical mixture were released from Lockhart's Flint facility, which makes rust-preventative additives, and spilled into the Flint River. State officials say an investigation and chemical fingerprinting analysis revealed that the oil chemical mixture that pulled in the Flint River matched the material that left the Lockhart facility. Nessel charged Minhas in December 2024 with one count of falsely altering a public record, uttering and publishing a false or altered public record, substantial endangerment to the public and discharge of injurious substance to waters of the state. "Serious violations by businesses that endanger the health and well-being of Michigan residents and our environment cannot be tolerated," said Nessel in a statement. "I am grateful to the talented prosecutors in my office, the dedicated experts from the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, Michigan State Police, the Genesee County Sheriff's Office, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, and detectives of the EGLE and DNR Environmental Investigation Section, who all played a significant role in advancing this case through the judicial process." Minhas is also charged with one count of false statements and omissions regarding air pollution and general violations of the air pollution law, as well as 11 other misdemeanor offenses for violating hazardous waste statutes, permits or rules. He also faces nine other misdemeanor violations of the state's Liquid Industrial Waste law for reportedly discharging industrial by-products, violating reporting requirements after a discharge, and violating other provisions related to properly labeling chemical containers, maintaining adequate records, and the storage, disposal, protection, and discharge prevention of liquid industrial waste. A pretrial date has not yet been set.

Jury finds Milwaukee man guilty of killing and dismembering 19-year-old woman
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A jury found a Milwaukee man guilty Friday of killing and dismembering a 19-year-old college student on the night of their first date. Prosecutors charged Maxwell Anderson in April 2024 with first-degree intentional homicide, dismembering a corpse, arson and hiding a corpse in connection with Sade Robinson's death. The jury convicted Anderson on all four counts. Investigators believe Anderson killed her on their first date on April 1, 2024, dismembered her body and spread her remains around Milwaukee County. They also believe he burned her car to hide evidence. Anderson's attorney, Tony Cotton, argued during the eight-day trial that no DNA links Anderson to the crimes. Cotton did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on Friday's verdicts. Anderson faces a mandatory life sentence in prison when he's sentenced Aug. 15.
