Deputies Arrest Tigard/Aloha FedEx Driver for Trying to Sexually Assault a Child:
Earlier today, Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a report of an attempted sexual assault of a child in Aloha, part of the Enhanced Sheriff’s Patrol District (ESPD).
A parent told deputies that a 9-year-old girl had been playing outside her home in the 4000 block of SW 160th Ave. The child said a FedEx driver made a delivery at a neighboring home and then offered her candy. The driver then tried to sexually assault the girl, who was able to get away and tell her parent what happened. She was also able to provide a description of the suspect.
Deputies went to the home to speak with the parent and child while other deputies searched the area for the FedEx truck. Detectives from the Sheriff’s Office Violent Crimes Unit also assisted with the investigation. While looking for the suspect, deputies contacted FedEx which immediately provided its full help to find the involved driver.
Deputies found the FedEx truck and driver in the 18300 block of SW Shaw St. The driver was identified as 24-year-old Alejandro Negrete of Portland.
Mr. Negrete was arrested for attempted sexual abuse in the first degree and attempted so**my in the first degree. He was lodged at the Washington County Jail where his bail was set at $20,000.
Deputies learned there is at least one other person who Mr. Negrete sexually assaulted, however that incident did not occur while Mr. Negrete was delivering for FedEx.
Mr. Negrete’s regular FedEx routes covered the Aloha and Tigard areas, on all seven days of the week. Detectives are concerned there may be more victims and are asking anyone with additional information to call the Sheriff’s Office at 503-846-2700.
The Sheriff’s Office wishes to thank FedEx for their immediate and full cooperation, which was crucial in helping deputies locating Mr. Negrete quickly.

Tigard PD Detectives seek tips in Stabbing:
Tigard Police Detectives are asking for your help identifying suspects involved in a stabbing.
On Friday, July 2nd around 5:30 p.m. two suspects challenged a 17-year-old to a fight outside the Washington Square Mall. The 17-year-old agreed, and in the course of the fight, he was stabbed by one of the suspects. He was taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening and has since been released.
Investigators believe this was a targeted attack and there is no specific threat to the general public.
The suspects, in this case, are described as two Hispanic men, in their late teens or early 20’s who were both wearing red hats and black shoes. One of the suspects is described as 5’7” or 5’8”, who was wearing jeans and a black shirt, while the other, who was wearing black pants and a black hoodie, is described as having bushy eyebrows.
If you recognize either of them or have any information about this case that can help, please contact Det. Kary Gregson (503-718-2529 or [email protected]) or Det. Gabe Stone (503-718-2665 or [email protected]). You can remain anonymous.

It's been more than four years since the county last opened the waitlist for Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8). The waitlist will open on July 26, 2021, and close on August 4, 2021. On August 6, HAWC will perform a waitlist lottery to add 2,000 applicants to the waitlist.
The Housing Authority of Washington County (HAWC) will begin accepting applications for its Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program on July 26, 2021. The waitlist will close on August 4, 2021. On August 6, HAWC will perform a waitlist lottery to add 2,000 applicants to the waitlist. The waitlist lottery is a process to randomly select applications that were received during the waitlist opening. This means that any application received prior to closing on August 4, 2021, will have an equal chance of being added to the waitlist. The date and time of application will not impact the chances of being added to the waitlist.
HAWC will ONLY accept online applications. The website to submit an application is: https://portal.wchousingauthority.org/. Only one application per household will be accepted. Applications will be de-duplicated prior to waitlist selection. Note that eligibility factors, such as income and family composition, will be reviewed once a family has been selected from the waitlist.
The application will be available in multiple languages. Persons needing translation assistance or other accommodations should contact HAWC to request assistance. For applicants unable to submit an online application, HAWC will provide staff to assist over the phone. Once the waitlist opens, applicants may call HAWC and ask for assistance completing their application.
HAWC will provide flyers and written FAQs to community groups throughout the County. HAWC would be happy to provide training for your staff and volunteers prior to the application window. We want to ensure that your staff is equipped to assist clients in understanding the application process.

Tualatin Valley Firefighters Deploy to Florida to Provide Peer Support to Rescue Workers
In response to the recent building collapse in Surfside, Florida, the International Association of Firefighters requested the services of Tualatin Valley Firefighters’ Peer Support Team.
Firefighters Jeff Campbell, Brandon Henry, and Kyle Leonard were deployed for six days to provide peer support counseling to urban search and rescue workers, firefighters, and their families who were affected by the Champlain Towers South condominium collapse.
The building collapse was a tragic event requiring a nationwide response. Fire departments across the Miami region and urban search and rescue workers from around the United States were deployed to the scene to search for victims. Peer Support Team Lead Jeff Campbell said, “Our primary role was to assist Miami Dade firefighters and their families work through and process mental health issues related to the building collapse.”
In the past few years, there has been increased awareness of post-traumatic stress disorder and job-related mental health illness in fire and emergency services. It is estimated that 20 percent of firefighters and emergency responders will suffer some form of job-related mental illness or PTSD during the life of their careers.
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue and the Tualatin Valley Firefighters Union partnered in 2018 to create a Peer Support Team. More than 60 people were trained in a two-day event from various workgroups from within the agency. Through ongoing training and awareness, Peer Support Team members are available 24 hours a day to help someone in need, debrief crews following a difficult call, and assist fire departments in the region.

Tigard Black Lives Matter March
Just after noon, callers to 911 reported that a two-story home was engulfed in flames in the 11000 block of SW 109th Avenue in Tigard. Firefighters arrived within four minutes and began to attack the fire from the outside. While some firefighters worked to douse flames from the outside, others tried to work their way into the home to tackle hot spots and conduct a search. Their search efforts were significantly hampered by an extensive amount of clutter and smoke. Sadly, firefighters located an unresponsive person in the kitchen of the home. It’s unclear whether the person had perished before or during the fire. Fire investigators will be working to determine where and how the fire started and a medical examiner from Washington County will be conducting a death investigation.
On Wednesday, November 13, 2019, at 8:00 a.m., Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to a traffic crash involving a school bus on SW Old Hwy. 47, near SW Seghers Road. When deputies arrived, they found the school bus in a ditch with 12 occupants on the bus; the 20-year-old driver, Jonathan C. Gates of Hillsboro, an adult bus aid, and ten children between the ages of ten and sixteen.
