Multnomah County District Attorney

The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Domestic Violence Unit is committed to ending family abuse. The unit engages in evidence-based prosecution of domestic violence. It emphasizes the importance of victim advocacy services for all victims and their children. 

These alleged incidents are subject to an ongoing investigation that may yield subsequent criminal charges. 

Connelly’s prior criminal record includes a Rape conviction in Columbia County and a Robbery conviction in Cowlitz County. 

Earlier this year, the SPSU’s data analyst calculated that 13% of offenders account for 41% of crimes like vandalism, motor vehicle theft, robbery, and similar offenses.

Bighaus drove in reverse to catch up to the victim, and upon closing the distance, swerved to strike the victim and crush him between the vehicle and the building. 

The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office asked the court to hold the defendant in custody without bail until trial. Today, the court ruled that the defendant was charged with a crime eligible for detention, and deferred any further ruling until a full hearing on the matter can be scheduled. The defendant will remain in custody until further order of the court.
