Deputy allegedly “misused” COVID vaccination cards.

The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office has launched a criminal investigation into one of its own corrections deputies over the alleged misuse of vaccination cards.

A law enforcement deputy for Sheriff Mike Reese has executed a search warrant on the home of Robert J. Haney, enlisting the help of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office to do so, the Portland Tribune has learned.

The sheriff’s office refused to confirm the identity of the employee.

This is a developing story, and the sheriff’s office is being very secretive — there is very little public information about the investigation as yet.

Given the hatred that law enforcement agencies have for transparency, and how they drag their feet on investigations, we aren’t likely to learn much about this for months to come.

I’ll be pleased to be wrong about that.
