A Portland man is facing criminal charges after police say he left two young children at home for several minutes to make a fast food run.
According to court documents, Portland Police responded to a welfare check at the Columbia Park Annex on North Lombard on Tuesday evening.
Officers found a 3-year-old boy outside dressed in a shirt, shorts, and socks standing near neighbors.
The neighbors said he had thrown up and was frequently coughing.
The boy was able to lead officers to where he lived which was a few blocks away in the 7000 block North Dwight Avenue.
Police found the door wide open at the address and could hear another child inside.
When police went inside, they found an 8-year-old dressed only in underwear who appeared to have some sort of developmental disability.
The older child said his parents weren't home, and he was playing games and had no idea how to reach them by phone.
The officer was able to call a man, later identified as Herbert Lee Streeter the Third, 48, who said he had left to get food for the kids from McDonald's 10-15 minutes ago.
However, it had been 33 minutes since the welfare check and Streeter did not show up until after 6 p.m., more than 50 minutes after the welfare check.
When asked about the time discrepancy, Streeter said he stopped to speak to a friend. However, he he did not have any food from McDonald's or anywhere else, according to the documents.
The officer spoke to the children's mother who said she was unaware that Streeter had left the children unattended.
Streeter is due to be arraigned Thursday afternoon on two counts each of criminal mistreatment and child neglect.
According to court records, he was convicted of a felony sex offense in 1999 in Florida and for failing to register as a sex offender in Multnomah County in 2013.
He also has a felony conviction for delivery of heroin in Clackamas County in 2014.
Streeter was booked into Multnomah County Jail Tuesday night and released to pretrial release services the following day according to jail records.

I knew from the street address, no need for a mugshot.
“ released to pretrial release services the following day”
Sex offender.
Failure to register as a sex offender.
Heroin dealer.
Leaving kids alone and barfing on the front lawn for an hour.
Immediately released.
Way to go, Portland!
It's Portland. I'm surprised they even arrested the guy.
A normie leaving 8 and 3 year old kids for 5-10 minutes is no big deal. This story just kept getting worse.
50 minutes isn’t five minutes.
Sex offender
disabled kid
opened door
I’m surprised the 3 year old wasn’t playing with the pit bull in the backyard.
He’s a CHILD Sex Offender:

What in the world was a convicted sex offender doing with two small children? The people on the West coast are certifiably insane.
More fun with this guy from a year ago, 2025:

“”the children’s mother who said she was unaware””

If you would like more information about what’s happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me. Please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.
But he was black, so to Left Coasties he gets a lot of free passes because of historical racism or something.

Idiotic writing
He’s a CHILD sex offender. See post 6.
From what my brother told me, when his daughter got mixed up with a no-good black guy; it’s their culture. The men just hang around and won’t work. The women work to bring something home. Just a bunch of dudes laying around, not doing anything useful, complaining about the women. The culture.
An eight-year-old by himself for 10 minutes maybe. An eight-year-old with a three-year-old no. Not even for a minute.
And she was where????
Somebody in that household* has to pay the bills...
* Note that I did not say 'home'
Hopefully working but who knows?
Hey... Could you take care of my kids for a while? NOT!
Why are they even charging him? This is the kind of behavior, and the sort of repeat criminal, that DemocRats like so much.
