Bloody courtroom scene — A sheriff’s spokesman says a man who managed to sneak a razor fragment through the Clackamas County courthouse security system used it to cut his own throat after he was sentenced on a theft conviction. The Oregonian reports that the 55-year-old man was rushed to a hospital, where he was being treated for neck lacerations. The man’s name was not available and the details of his legal case were not immediately clear. County sheriff’s Sgt. Robert Wurpes said the man pulled out the razor fragment after he was sentenced Monday by Circuit Judge Michael Wetzel. The newspaper reports the man was bleeding profusely. Courtroom officials quickly called 911.

Animals seized — Klamath County authorities say they have seized 43 animals that were poorly treated at a farm. The Klamath Falls Herald and News reported that the animals are 20 goats, 12 dogs, four horses, three llamas, two miniature donkeys, a cat and a rat. The two donkeys had curled hooves and have been taken to a farm that rehabilitates animals. The rest of the animals are at the Klamath Animal Shelter, where workers reported problems such as lice on the goats and a lack of nourishment. A forfeiture hearing is expected within the next two weeks. The owners were not named.
