Police storm Ryde property and arrest man after hours-long stand-off
A 25-year-old man has been arrested following a significant police response and stand-off at a property on the Isle of Wight. Hampshire and IW Constabulary received reports of a concern for welfare at a property in Ryde yesterday evening. However, police were soon made aware of a report relating to a domestic-related assault linked to the same address. Officers made initial enquiries in the town before attending the property on Newport Street in the early hours of this morning, where they engaged with a man inside.

Lane County's administrator was fired in 2013 amid scandal. Her ethics case is still open
On Aug. 8, the panel responsible for evaluating local government ethics will vote whether to formally dismiss an almost 12-year-old case against former Lane County Administrator Liane Richardson. In 2013, the Oregon Government Ethics Commission began investigating Richardson, who Lane County Commissioners fired that August with an agreement neither party would sue the other after she was promoted on an interim basis in 2010 and hired permanently in 2011. Commissioners said Richardson cashed out PTO and deferred payment in violation of county policy. This occurred while Richardson oversaw the county as it faced a $13.5 million budget shortfall which led to the county laying off employees, proposing forced furloughs and Richardson publicly declining a controversial pay raise. The initial version of the report that led to her firing was highly redacted, and the full version, released later, was unclear on whether Richardson acted entirely on her own or with the tacit approval of county commissioners. Subsequent investigation also found she had pressured the Human Resources director to recommend that raise, and appointed a city of Eugene police officer, with whom her husband alleged she was having an affair, to an internal county committee that recommended approval of her deferred pay cashout, and had scheduled him to attend an out-of-state conference with her and other county employees. In the fall out, Marion County's District Attorney declined to press charges, but the state bar association rejected Richardson's application over her conduct as Lane County administrator. State Ethics Commission staff have recommended the state board drop its investigation into Richardson at its Aug. 8 meeting, saying given the amount of time that has passed "there would be significant difficulties with presenting relevant information and testimony."
