Hormann, Douglas J.
David,
You may have a good criminal menacing complaint against the individual
you described. Menacing involves intentionally putting a person in fear
of imminent serious physical injury and it is a class A misdemeanor. I'm
not currently assigned to patrol, so I can't take a report from you, but
you can call 629-0111 (non-emergency dispatch number) and ask to see a
deputy, one will be dispatched to investigate.
(I'm assuming that the house is on the Washington County side of the
county line, since it runs right through that area.)

does this guy have a red pick-up? a number of times i've had someone
drive up dangerously behind me and lean on the horn on Brush College,
usually heading NW.
if you need any more witnesses....
also, i am a director with Cycling British Columbia (am recent
transplant to Salem) and past president of one of the largest racing
clubs in British Columbia, so I am probably fairly credible as a bona
fide expert in the area of bike safety and what might be considered
reasonable motorist behavior. I have also driven a truck for a summer
student job (coca-cola), so could potentially also pull out a
"professional driver" card as well.
