    This guy gets out of jail a lot. They only seem to report it when
    he's locked up again.

    "Right-wing street brawler ‘Tiny’ Toese back in Portland jail on $1
    million bail

    "By Zane Sparling | The Oregonian/OregonLive
    A judge in Portland set bail Friday at $1 million for a notorious street fighter who went on the lam after breaking an earlier release agreement, prosecutors say.

    Tusitala Toese — better known by his ironic nickname, Tiny — was
    extradited to the Multnomah County Detention Center on Thursday. He had
    been held in the Thurston County Jail since his arrest Dec. 19, court
    records show.

    Senior Deputy District Attorney Nathan Vasquez proposed $1 million in
    bail and Circuit Judge Celia Howes approved it during a brief hearing
    Friday morning inside a Justice Center courtroom. Under Oregon law,
    Toese is required to pay 10%, or $100,000, to leave custody.

    Toese’s supporters previously paid $85,000 in cash to spring the
    26-year-old from the Multnomah County lock-up, where he had been held on
    12 charges, including riot and second-degree assault, stemming from a
    chaotic street battle outside an abandoned East Portland Kmart in 2021.

    Toese, a leader of the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer movement, is
    accused of smashing a car window, helping to tip over a van and egging
    on other fighters during the clash with left-wing protesters, The Oregonian/OregonLive previously reported.

    As part of a release agreement, Toese was required to wear a GPS monitor
    and stay out of trouble, but the tracker went dark in November,
    according to court filings. An arrest warrant for Toese was issued Nov. 14."

    He actually lives in Washington, on the other side of the river.
    By court order he's only supposed to be in Portland for court
    appearances and jail time. He still comes to town for all of the riots.
