Beaverton Woman Charged with Civil Disorder After Targeting Police Officers with High-Powered Laser

PORTLAND, Ore.—Eva Warner, aka Joshua Warner, 25, of Beaverton, Oregon, has been charged by criminal complaint with civil disorder, a felony, after targeting the eyes of multiple law enforcement officers with a high-powered laser during an August 8, 2020 riot in North Portland.

According to court documents, in the late evening on August 8, 2020, a riot was declared at the Portland Police Association office on North Lombard Street in Portland after individuals broke windows and set fire to the office. The crowd also used vehicles and dumpsters to illegally block nearby vehicle traffic.

Oregon State Police officers notified the Portland Police Bureau’s Rapid Response Team that Warner had directed a high-powered, green laser into the eyes of numerous law enforcement officers attempting to disperse the riot. Warner resisted arrest, prompting officers to use force. Officers found a black, pen-style laser pointer on Warner’s person. Warner was taken into custody and later released.

On September 2, 2020, Warner was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service in a southeast Portland apartment without incident.

Warner appeared in federal court today before a U.S. Magistrate Judge and was released pending further court proceedings. If convicted, Warner faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.

This case was investigated by the FBI with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service. It is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon.

A criminal complaint is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Excellent that OSP has now been federalized. I’m sure many of these earlier arrestees will be surprised to find that they are arrested again, now on federal charges.

As an instructor a laser pointer comes in handy. I was working in Australia last year and my colleague (an instructor) was heading to the jet at Sydney airport after a month long stay in the country. The bags were x-rayed and the customs official found a Laser pointer in his bag. In Australia lasers of greater than 1 milliwat are banned or must be registered for those requiring them... He was BUSTED! They filled out a police report on him! Don’t take a laser greater than 1 milliwat to Australia!

I fail to understand why assault with a Lazer isn’t viewed as assault with a weapon that can cause great bodily harm and therefore may be stopped with deadly force.

Captured laser terrorists should have their laser shined into THEIR eyes!

The charge should be felonious assault with intent to inflict grievous bodily injury.

“Perhaps they can get it on jaywalking too “

Seems you are mocking the seriousness of attacking Law Enforcement Officers’ vision. It would be ok with you, right ?

Now the Rats will demand that “It-prisons” be built, just to accommodate this enormously fast-growing group.

Sorry dude, attacking a LEO with a potentially blinding laser is not unserious, but I think I get your point. I would like these domestic terrrorists to be charged with riot, arson, sedition and assault.
Since nothing else has ‘stuck’ what would you recommend ?

Good.

Purposely destroying anyone’s eyesight - especially a LEO - should be met with a LONG term prison sentence....not that that will happen.
