Columbia County, Oregon – Dale Lynn Thomas, described by some in the city of Rainier, Oregon, as being a “responsible member of the community,” is being accused of felony eluding and reckless driving. The evidence the state is presenting is highly suspect and there are allegations of official misconduct and evidence tampering.

Thomas categorically denies any wrongdoing and questions why her own professional investigators and evidence experts have been denied original putative evidence and the ability to testify on her behalf.

Currently, the US~Observer is seeking information regarding Rainier Police Department Officer Gregory Buddrius and Columbia County, OR, District Attorneys Stephen Atchison and Dale Anderson. Anyone with information regarding Officer Buddrius’ involvement in a “high-speed-pursuit” on July 5, 2004 is asked to please contact Ron Lee at 541-474-7885.

We are especially interested in witnesses that may have been present on Fernhill Dr. in the city of Rainier on the above date.
