A Vancouver, Washington man was arrested Friday on assault and menacing charges following an incident the day before at the Rooster Rock State Park clothing optional beach in which the suspect allegedly struck a man several times with a collapsible police-type baton. The victim, who was accompanied by four children, was struck after landing an inflatable raft on Sand Island at the State Park.
On July 24, 2008 at approximately 1:10 p.m. Oregon State Police and Multnomah County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a reported assault at Rooster Rock State Park involving a nude sunbather. A trooper and two deputies arrived at the park and located the victim, a 45-year old southeast Portland man, who told officers he was on his inflatable raft with three girls and one boy, ages 7 – 10; when they landed at Sand Island which he thought was several hundred feet away from the clothing optional area at the park. Two small Chihuahua dogs ran from his raft onto the beach and continued about 100 yards toward the area of a nude male sunbather where the victim saw the man hitting the dogs with what appeared to be a stick.
The nude suspect allegedly walked toward the victim and children then raised his arm up holding a can of mace. The victim backed up, causing him to trip and fall backwards, at which time the nude suspect struck the victim in the head, torso and right leg with what was later determined to be a collapsible baton.
After the assault the suspect walked away and the victim obtained a physical description before leaving the area on the raft. The victim went to a doctor at a later time to be examined for obvious signs of bruising injuries.
Officers searched the park with State Parks personnel but were unable to find the suspect. During the early evening the victim spoke to the trooper on the phone and was able to provide a vehicle license number and description when he saw the suspect leave the park.
Follow up investigation identified the suspect as Donald Joseph Kenney, age 74, from Vancouver, Washington.
On July 25th Rooster Rock State Parks personnel were given the vehicle and suspect information. Ten minutes later, State Parks personnel confirmed the suspect's vehicle was parked at the east end parking lot.
The investigating trooper and deputy, accompanied by a park ranger, located KENNEY and subsequently arrested him for Assault in the Second Degree and Menacing. Kenney was lodged at the Multnomah County Jail.
Why is it that 99% of the people who engage in nude sunbathing are people that none of the rest of us ever want to see naked?
Your humor is a little rigid—loosen up a little. ;)
Next you’ll tell me he was a regional pole vaulting champion.
I thought about that, too.
I stayed away from that joke too...sometimes they just write themselves...
The one I have is 9 1/2" when collapsed but telescopes to 26". When telescoped its like a 26" solid steel bar. You don't want to hit anyone in the head with it because it would likely kill them.
Glad to know I’m not the only one who’s heard that joke.
Rooster Rock: Home of the Fighting Cocks!
Its an oldie but a goodie...
> Just how large was this baton he was wielding?
I’m guessing that they’d be talking about an ASP baton, or something similar. If so, somewhere between 16-or-so inches to just over two feet. They fold up like very heavy car antennas, and can easily break bones.

I shouldn’t want to get hit with one.

Someone said that his tattoo said “TINY”. The man became ncensed because the full tatoo said TICONDEROGANY..
A swordsman?
ROFL
I dunno, seems to me most guy that get surprised by these mini cujos while their tallywhacker is exposed might start playing whack-a-mole to defend themselves.
If he hadn't had a collapsable baton, would we be reading a story about a victim of a chihuahua attack and very private and painful injuries?
“Yes...what the heck is a 74 year old man doing sun bathing naked in freaking public...YUCK!”
I think the liberal northwest has replaced the hill billy south for weird sex behavior. Not long ago, an animal sex ring busted when a guy died from intestinal damage done by a horse.
You DON’T want to know where that “collapsible baton” has been.....
Rooster Rock?
The jokes just write themselves.
The one I have is 9 1/2" when collapsed but telescopes to 26".
