HILLSBORO, Ore- On February 24, 2025, Caleb Logan Spurlock pleaded guilty to four counts of criminal mischief in the first degree (court case number 24CR31920) and three counts of unlawful use of a weapon (court case number 24CR27262). He was sentenced to 22 months in prison by Washington County Circuit Court Judge Kathleen Proctor. Deputy District Attorney Mahalee Streblow prosecuted these cases.

From October 2023 through May of 2024, the defendant used a sophisticated slingshot loaded with metal ball bearings to shoot out the windows of several vehicles as they drove near Pacific Avenue in Forest Grove. This was one mile from where the defendant lived with his parents. 14 victims, including an off-duty detective with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, were targeted. They all reported similar stories—they were driving down the street when something hit their vehicles and shattered their windows. Several victims found metal ball bearings in their cars after the attacks, and many were hurt by the shattered glass. These crimes caused significant unease in the community as residents believed they were hearing gunshots.

Forest Grove police set up camera systems in the area and eventually recorded one of the attacks. The footage showed a man in a hoodie with an electric scooter shooting at passing vehicles. On May 24, 2024, they spotted the defendant committing another shooting and arrested him. He had an electric scooter, a slingshot, and a box full of metal ball bearings.

Between February 9-11, 2024, the defendant also caused approximately $68,000 in damages to 21 vehicles parked at a Beaverton car dealership where he was previously employed. He smashed the windows of the vehicles. These acts were caught on surveillance cameras. The video depicted a man later identified as Mr. Spurlock committing the crimes. He was seen leaving the scene on the same electric scooter used in previous crimes.  

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office commends the work of the Forest Grove Police Department and the Beaverton Police Department for their work in identifying and apprehending the defendant.

In addition to his prison sentence, Judge Proctor ordered the defendant to pay more than $77,000 in restitution to his victims and to serve two years of post-prison supervision upon his release. 

HILLSBORO, Ore- On February 26, 2025, a Washington County jury found Joshua Birjanu Powers, age 31, guilty of attempted sodomy in the first degree, attempted rape in the first degree, sexual abuse in the first degree (two counts), sexual abuse in the third degree, public indecency, assault in the fourth degree (two counts) and interference with making a report. Senior Deputy District Attorney Chris Lewman prosecuted the defendant before Judge Ricardo Menchaca.

On January 18, 2025, the defendant entered a hotel in Beaverton where the 61-year-old victim was working the desk nightshift by herself. Shortly after entering the lobby, Mr. Powers began to harass the victim. The assault then turned physical as he groped her and grabbed her body multiple times, exposed himself and began masturbating in front of her. When she attempted to call police, he ripped the phone from her hands and ended the call.

Fortunately, dispatchers were able to identify the caller’s location. Officers with the Beaverton Police Department arrived and witnessed the ongoing assault. They quickly intervened and arrested the defendant. The assault was recorded on hotel surveillance cameras as well as body-worn cameras.

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office commends the Beaverton Police Department for their work in protecting the victim.

Mr. Powers will be transferred to the Oregon Department of Corrections to serve his sentence.

HILLSBORO, Ore- On February 25, 2025, a Washington County jury found Raymond Perez, age 39, guilty of multiple charges including two counts of rape in the first degree, sodomy in the first degree, two counts of using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct, two counts of sexual abuse in the second degree, and luring a minor. Senior Deputy District Attorney Andy Pulver prosecuted the defendant before Judge Hafez Daraee.

The defendant began sexually abusing the minor victim in 2021 following his release from prison on unrelated charges. The abuse continued until 2022 when the victim reported the defendant’s actions to a family member. She recorded several FaceTime conversations with the defendant to provide evidence of his criminal activity. The victim’s loved one alerted the Tigard Police Department and detectives launched an investigation.

The victim was interviewed by medical experts at CARES Northwest where she gave additional details of the abuse. She also provided handwritten letters from the defendant in which the defendant used phrasing and terminology consistent with a romantic relationship.

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office commends the bravery of the victim throughout this process. This office also acknowledges the work of the Tigard Police Department and CARES Northwest.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 14, 2025.

HILLSBORO, Ore- The Washington County District Attorney’s Office is pleased to report that its Child Support Division is the top-collecting division of its kind in Oregon.
