RE: Timeus, Reeves, Stradley, Boyd Report
Dear Acting West Linn Police Chief Mahuna:
Please find enclosed a detailed report by the Clackamas County District Attorney’s
Office on the professional conduct of Retired Chief Terry Timeus, Detective Tony
Reeves, Detective Michael Boyd and former Lieutenant Mike Stradley.
For years now we have heard of unrest and dysfunction in the West Linn Police
Department under the leadership Chief Timeus. However, the level of misconduct
that has been uncovered in this matter is deeply disturbing and totally
unacceptable.
We intend to take immediate action regarding Detective Reeves as a witness in
cases submitted to our office because he has been so compromised by the
information in this report. That will result in cases he has submitted to this office
being dismissed or compromised. Unfortunately, that will negatively impact the
citizens of West Linn and victims in these cases. Moving forward, it will mean that
Detective Reeves will no longer be accepted as a witness in cases submitted to our
office. We will also recommend to DPSST that his certification be revoked.
As for retired Chief Timeus, our actions are unfortunately more symbolic in nature
due to his retirement. However we recognize he is ultimately responsible for the
culture and conduct of his office during his term as Chief. And we will also
recommend that his certification be revoked as well.
Moving forward, we stand ready to work with your police department to address the
major concerns reflected in this report.
Very Truly,

John S. Foote
