An Oregon state representative spent the night in a county jail after he was arrested at the Clackamas County Fair on disorderly conduct charges, the county sheriff's office said Thursday.
State Rep. James Hieb, a Republican who represents District 39 in the state's House of Representatives, has since been released and faces charges of second-degree disorderly conduct and interfering with a peace officer, the sheriff's office told the CBS-affiliated news station KOIN 6.The arrest occurred when a woman asked Hieb to put out his cigarette after the fair's rodeo, Hieb told Oregon Live.
Law enforcement disarmed Hieb after he informed them that he was carrying a concealed weapon he had a permit for, and he was given an exclusion from the county fair before being escorted off the grounds, Hieb told the outlet. “I don’t know how this is going to impact my future,” Hieb said. “I don’t know what to do yet. I’m still absorbing everything.”
