Former Clackamas County Commissioner in Oregon Melissa Fireside has reportedly fled the country ahead of her theft trial, where she has been charged for allegedly stealing from a resident at an assisted living facility. According to court filings, she used false identification and an Austrian passport, taking her young son with her.

On Friday, the Oregon Department of Justice said it had moved to reverse Fireside's conditional release after she was no longer at the home address she stated to the court, which had been in Lexington in Morrow County. Fireside is facing charges of aggravated first-degree theft, using a computer to commit theft, first-degree theft, identity theft, as well as first-degree forgery.

“According to the Oregonian, officials discovered that Fireside had a reservation to fly from Mexico to Amsterdam at 2:30 pm on Thursday. “She has an Austrian passport that she used for the reservation that is valid until 2032,” an affidavit said, signed by special agent with the DOJ, Jerry Gorman. Officials believe she used false identification to flee the country.

Fireside resigned earlier this year after she was indicted on the charges relating to the theft. She was accused of stealing over $10,000 from an 83-year-old man by forging his signature as well as the signature of an Oregon state lawmaker. She has also been accused of forging around $60,000 in promissory notes”

Yep! In 2025 she’s just a run-of-the-mill, everyday, not too bright criminal Democrat.

“She done flown the coop.” ... “Quick, revoke her release.”

She is a democrat in good standing. She would not have been held to account. The 82 year old man she stole from must be a minority because this would not be prosecuted in Clakamas county.
