Grinder death — A cleaning worker was killed when he fell into a running grinder at a meat-processing plant, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said. Deputy Nate Thompson identified the worker as Hugo Avalos-Chanon, 41, of Portland. He worked for DCS Sanitation Management, a cleaning company that has a contract with Interstate Meat Distributors. Paramedics and sheriff’s deputies were called around 11:45 p.m. Friday, after Avalos-Chanon was found entangled in the machinery. Another worker had hit an emergency stop button, but it was too late, Thompson said. Firefighters returned the following day to dismantle the machine and remove the body. Thompson said investigators believe the death is a “tragic industrial accident” and do not suspect foul play.

Police shooting settlement — Portland is ready to pay more than $2 million to settle a federal lawsuit filed on behalf of a man mistakenly shot by a police officer. The Oregonian newspaper reports that city attorneys and the lawyer for William Monroe reached the agreement Monday in a mediation session. If City Council approves, the $2.3 million settlement would be the largest in Portland history. Officer Dane Reister shot Monroe in June 2011 with a shotgun he thought was loaded with beanbag rounds. Monroe, who was 20 at the time, nearly died. He had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Bag ban — A ban on plastic bags takes effect Wednesday in Eugene stores. The ban was approved six months ago by the city council as an environmental measure. KVAL reports shoppers can bring their own reusable bags or buy paper bags for a nickel. Thin plastic bags will still be available in Eugene grocery stores for meat and produce.
