:Canby State Representative Arrested at Clackamas County Fair
AUGUST 18, 2022 TYLER FRANCKE GOVERNMENT, NEWS, PUBLIC SAFETY
Republican State Representative James Hieb, who represents Canby, was arrested at the Clackamas County Fairgrounds after the Canby Rodeo late Wednesday night on suspicion of interfering with a peace officer and disorderly conduct.
Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office John Wildhaber confirmed the arrest
and charges to The Canby Current Thursday morning and said Hieb spent
the night in the county jail.
He was released on his own recognizance early that morning.
Hieb, who manned the Clackamas County Republicans table at the
fairgrounds this week while also appearing at the opening ceremony and
other events, said the incident began when a woman outside the Main
Pavilion asked him to put out a cigarette while he was waiting for a
ride home.
When he continued to smoke, the woman summoned deputies with the
Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, who serve as security for the event.
Hieb, who has admitted to drinking a few beers that night, said he was unaware that smoking is not permitted at the fairgrounds, but he was
standing far away from any crowds or other fair-goers.
“That whole area was empty,” he told the Current Friday. “There were zero people in it.”
Hieb, who was wearing a campaign shirt with his name on it, said he
disclosed to law enforcement that he was carrying a concealed weapon,
for which he has a permit. The officers relieved him of the weapon and
put him in cuffs.
Hieb said Friday he believes the incident was blown out of proportion.
“It’s still kind of crazy something so small turned into an arrest,” Hieb said. “I never thought a lady upset about me smoking a cigarette
would lead to all this. In hindsight, I didn’t need a cigarette that bad.”
Hieb said his phone, keys and other personal belongings were not
initially returned to him on Thursday morning, and he had to walk back
to Canby on foot — a distance of almost 10 miles.
Witnesses of the alleged incident claimed the representative was visibly intoxicated, attempted to drive away in a fairground golf cart and
repeatedly told deputies they could not arrest him while handing out
business cards to bystanders.
But Hieb has denied those details, blaming them on the “rumor mill.” Wildhaber also said he could not confirm, nor could he share specifics
about any of the circumstances that led to his engagement with deputies
and subsequent arrest."

I am not surprised that this has become an issue out there. This prohibition has been in effect, but poorly enforced, for a long time. I
have been out there for other events in the past. There were always
signs at the entrance advising people that smoking isn't allowed there.
What I found was that you could get away from the crowds, or you could
get away from the smokers. But, you couldn't get away from both at the
same time.

Eddie Eagle Jr.The sheriff's office decided to cut through the bullshit by
releasing body cam footage of this incident. The poor fool could have
walked if he had simply cooperated. He not only flunked the attitude test--spectacularly--at the end he told them he loved this shit and
wanted to be arrested. The video was so entertaining that I watched the whole 23 minutes. It looks like his campaign ended before it really got started. At the very least this video will make further public events a
bit awkward.
"Body Camera Footage, Police Report Depict Rep. James Hieb as “Extremely Intoxicated”
Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office releases further information about
Aug. 18 arrest: “Motherfucker, let me go.”
