Woman sentenced for role in burglary ring targeting Portland businesses
PORTLAND, Ore. () — A woman was sentenced to prison on Monday for her role in a burglary ring targeting Portland restaurants, bars, lounges and dispensaries, the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office announced. Officials said 27-year-old Courtney Carlile was sentenced to nine years in prison for 13 counts of first-degree burglary and two counts of auto theft – all felony charges. Carlile was also ordered to pay restitution and will be on post-prison supervision for three years after her release from prison, the District Attorney's Office said. Deputy District Attorney Alexander Garcia, who prosecuted the case, said Carlile targeted at least 13 businesses. Portland ICE facility saw increased police presence during weekend protests 'Ms. Carlile's actions have had a significant impact on our community. As this court is well aware, property crime has greatly impacted Portland,' Garcia said. 'It has caused a great number of businesses and people to leave Portland. Our streets are lined with vacant commercial spaces because business owners are not willing to risk opening.' According to Garcia, Carlile is one of roughly 10 people in the burglary ring who has burglarized and stolen from as many as 100 Portland businesses, a majority of which are small businesses. Officials noted Carlile also has open criminal cases in Clackamas and Washington counties on similar charges. ODOT cracks down on 'fatigued, unqualified' commercial truck drivers on I-84 The case dates back to July of 2024, when surveillance video for Baby Dolla Pizza on Southeast Stark Street, showed 33-year-old Josh Lucero — another member of the crime ring — arrive to the restaurant in a white Acura TL, according to court documents. Authorities reported that Lucero used a crowbar and a Sawzall to break into an office inside the shop, noting the damage exceeded $1,000. Later, on September 18, 2024, video showed Lucero and Carlile using bolt cutters to break into Portland restaurant Grassa on Northwest 23rd Avenue, and used a Sawzall to break into a safe, the District Attorney's Office said. That same night, video from Old Town Brewing Co., on 52nd and MLK, showed Lucero and Carlile smash a window to get inside the building and break into the business safe, officials said. This pattern continued through November and December of 2024 until the pair were arrested by Portland police on December 28. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Gary man charged after shooting at couple outside laundromat
A Gary man was charged Friday after allegedly opening fire at a couple outside a Grant Street laundromat. Dy Juan Washington, 21, is charged with two counts each of attempted murder, attempted battery by means of a deadly weapon and criminal recklessness. He is in custody, held without bail, which will be reset May 13 for $10,000 cash surety. His next court date is May 6. Police responded at 12:25 p.m. April 24. The couple said they were at Ladybug Cleaners, 2368 Grant Street, when Washington walked inside. The man said he's had issues with Washington for three years, but didn't know his legal name when he went to the cops previously. Before this, they alleged Washington killed the victim's girlfriend's dog in September 2022; Washington's girlfriend — 'Deja' — later 'flattened' her tires and he tried to run over the couple's children. When Washington entered the laundromat, he left, then talked with another man outside. The man said he went to move her vehicle, when Washington pulled up and threatened them. 'I'll kill you. Y'all playing with me,' he told the woman. He fired 3-4 shots and nearly hit the man. The bullet pierced their door. The couple wasn't wounded. Police found three casings nearby. The Gary Real Time Crime Center traced the gray Acura TL to Washington. Police found it parked at his relative's home on the 3700 block of W. 20th Place. Officers spoke with the relative, then went inside. Washington wasn't there. Shortly afterward, they noticed he ran to the neighbor's yard. They arrested him after he hid by an air conditioning unit. They didn't find a weapon at the relative's home. mcolias@
