A Portland man was arrested on Friday in connection with a string of violent robberies across the city. Harold P. Griffin III, 34, has been charged with two counts of robbery in the first degree, assault in the second degree, assault in the fourth degree, and fraudulent use of a credit card.
Griffin was apprehended just hours after Portland Police sent out a press release.
In one incident that took place on March 13, Griffin was caught on camera beating another man with a golf club outside a cafe downtown before pouring hot coffee on him, kicking him in the head, and making off with his backpack.

Yes, but also no.
With a name like "Harold P. Griffin III" the golf club only makes sense.
Do I really need a SARC tag?
My family thinks I am a racist so I refuse to speculate o the ethnicity of the perp. I refuse to speculate if he is a member of the 13% that commit 50% of the crime in America.
The stocks were really once a good idea. We should bring them back for such criminals.
It is not like he forgot to cross a t on business document that his company put out.
Have they charged the victim yet?
This guy is just walking around deranged, homeless or semi-homeless.... And waiting to wail on someone with his golf club. He does not mind going to jail and prison. Not at all.
Our big cites have loads of these zombies. In NYC they will push you onto the subway tracks.
As I was taught, anytime a concealed carry weapon is brought out into the open, you need to understand that you might go to jail. That means you only remove your weapon from concealment, when you are certain that your life or the life of someone you care about is in danger.
So yes, if I draw my weapon for which I have a CPL in Portland, I fully understand that I may end up in jail. Another thing I was taught in an ethics class once was that the best ethics are embodied in the Cub Scout motto. If you always try to do your best, no matter what happens, you will know that you were trying to do your best. If the fates conspire against you and your are thrown in jail, then at least you will have the grim satisfaction of knowing what you did was what you thought the best thing to do, given you knowledge at that point in time.
Has his charges been dropped yet from the $oro$ DA?
Less than 6% in PDX.
