PORTLAND, Oregon – Today Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt announced that Miles Furrow, 41, has been indicted and arraigned on eight charges stemming from a “Proud Boy” rally last year.

The exact time of his extradition to Multnomah County for arraignment is unknown and will not occur until his charges are resolved in Washington.
Toese and Furrow attended a rally associated with the “Proud Boys” which took place in a K-Mart parking lot off of Northeast 122nd on August 22, 2021. Several incidents that both Toese and Furrow were involved in transpired as a result of the event.

Two counts of Criminal Mischief in the first degree
Miles Furrow:

A charging document is only an accusation of a crime. Toese and Furrow are innocent unless and until proven guilty.
