Grand Jury Indicts Dominic Austin on Multiple Charges for Harassing Neighbors, Violating a Stalking Order

October 2, 2023

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt today announced that a grand jury indicted Dominic Raymond Austin, 19, on 33 charges related to multiple incidents of harassing his neighbors at a Gresham apartment building: 

  • Three counts of Attempted Burglary in the First Degree
  • Four counts of Unlawful Use of a Weapon
  • Thirteen counts of Menacing
  • Three counts of Bias Crime in the Second Degree
  • Ten counts of Violating a Court’s Stalking Protective Order

Upon review of the evidence provided by law enforcement, Senior Deputy District Attorney Nicole Hermann presented the case to the Grand Jury, which returned a true bill of indictment on September 29. Austin is currently in custody in Multnomah County and is being held on $20,000 security.

A charging instrument is only an accusation of a crime. Austin is innocent unless and until proven guilty.
