People arrested are innocent unless proven otherwise in court. Initial charges often change as a case progresses.

Albany Police

Oxycodone stolen — Someone in the 2000 block of Queen Avenue S.E. called police Monday morning saying someone had entered his pickup during the night and stolen a bottle of prescription medicine. The only item reported taken was oxycodone. An unsigned Oregon Trail (food stamp) card was left behind. Thinking it may belong to the thief or another victim, police tried to match the card up with a name, but DHS refused to identify the name associated with that card number, citing its privacy policy. Police logged the card as found property.
