Judge causes damage breaking out of courtroom — A Western Oregon county judge inadvertently locked inside her courtroom caused an estimated $3,000 in damage trying to break out. Clackamas County Judge Susie Norby became trapped in her courtroom late on a Sunday earlier this month. The marble above one of the exterior doors became loose after she used a wooden bench as a battering ram before a deputy let her out. Norby says she’s deeply saddened to have caused harm to a beautiful and historic building that she cherishes and is grateful to work in. She offered to pay for the damage. But Clackamas County spokesman Tim Heider says the county will pay for repairs with money in its general fund.

Agencies investigating senior home park — Several state agencies are investigating a manufactured home park for seniors in Eugene, amid complaints that it cheated some residents out of thousands of dollars. Those investigating the Falcon Wood Village park include the Department of Justice and the Department of Consumer and Business Services. Five cases were identified from 2010 to 2013 in which residents agreed to allow the park to sell their homes for them — only to receive a small fraction of the ultimate selling price. Some of the residents were in difficult financial straits when they agreed to the sales. After an internal audit, the park’s owner, Chicago-based Equity Lifestyle Properties, fired its regional manager in Oregon in January. It says it’s cooperating with investigators.
