    Police in Multnomah County, Oregon arrested a man after he assaulted several people inside the Hayden Island Toys R Us with a blue light saber.

    While someone from the store was on the phone with police 33-year-old David Allen Canterbury left the toy store lightsaber in hand.

    Arriving officers tried to arrest Canterbury but he kept swinging the lightsaber at them. One of the officers attempted to use his Taser on the man but the device malfunctioned. Another police officer then tried to use his Taser but Canterbury managed to knock one of the wires away with the toy lightsaber.

    Police were finally able to arrest David Canterbury after grabbing him and pinning him to the ground. He was treated by EMTs at the scene and taken to a local hospital for a mental evaluation.

    None of the victims of the light saber assault required medical attention. Heh. So far Canterbury has only been charged with Possession of Heroin.

    Back in October of 2009 911 was called to the home of Carolyn Bellamy in Gresham, Oregon. When EMTs arrived at the home they found one-year-old Ariana Magathan with a head injury, supposedly after she fell off the bed. EMTs immediately called police because the massive injury just didn’t make sense. Ariana was taken to Emanuel Hospital and placed on life support where they attempted to save the little girl’s life. Unfortunately for the toddler they weren’t successful. She died four days later, on October 16th, one week before she would have been two.

    Over the last few months the Major Crimes Team from Gresham has been investigating the case. The ME described the cause of death as violent blunt force trauma to the head, which was not at all consistent with falling out of bed,

    Carolyn Bellamy, Ariana’s sole caretaker, has finally been charged with Murder and Manslaughter and has been lodged in the Multnomah County Jail with no bond.
