District Attorney John Wentworth updates retail theft prosecution efforts
Clackamas County law enforcement agencies periodically conduct retail theft missions targeting shoplifters who steal from local businesses.
Molalla City Councilor Rae Lynn Botsford was arraigned Thursday in Clackamas County Circuit Court on a 24-count indictment alleging theft from the Molalla River Middle School Parent Action Committee.
The May 2 grand jury indictment charged Botsford with 11 counts of Aggravated Identity Theft, 11 counts of Theft in the First Degree, one count of Identity Theft – all felonies – and one count of Falsifying business records, a misdemeanor.
