Probation for former Washington County deputy — A former patrol deputy was sentenced to five years of probation after police say he threatened and assaulted his girlfriend last year. Brian Waterbury, 35, was sentenced Thursday following his guilty plea to fourth-degree assault and menacing. Beaverton Police say Waterbury was arrested in September following three domestic violence complaints that occurred at the home the two shared. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office says Waterbury resigned from the agency Thursday. The sheriff’s office says he was on unpaid leave since at least October. Waterbury worked for the office for nearly 10 years. Under the terms of Waterbury’s probation, he will have no contact with the victim without permission, he must surrender all weapons and he must complete a domestic violence intervention program.

Woman’s manslaughter sentence to continue — A judge has ruled that a video used in the trial of a woman sentenced to 10 years in prison following the death of her 3-year-old daughter isn’t unfairly prejudicial and the woman must serve the rest of her sentence. Mercedes Alvarado received the ruling in Marion County Circuit Court on Friday. Alvarado’s boyfriend, David Gene Elliott, in 2016 pleaded guilty to murdering Aniya Zamora and is serving life in prison. Alvarado was convicted of manslaughter in 2015 but the Oregon Court of Appeals issued a ruling questioning that result after defense attorneys contended the Circuit Court failed to properly justify the video’s relevance. Judge Dale Penn says the video shows Elliott was a person of concern and a new trial would be meaningless.
