That officer, along with a detective, conducted an investigation and took the boy into custody Thursday.

Portland Uber laws — Portland has unveiled new rules that would allow ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft to continue operating permanently. City Commissioner Steve Novick unveiled the rules this week. They’re scheduled to go before the City Council on Thursday. Annual taxi permit fees would be replaced with a surcharge of 40 to 50 cents on each ride. Novick’s adviser Bryan Hockaday says the surcharge would avoid pricing out small companies that can’t afford an upfront fee. The proposed rules also would require companies to provide wheelchair-accessible service around the clock.

Commissioners can appeal the findings at a hearing or negotiate a settlement.
