Black Butte Ranch Police

• An officer encountered a man walking westbound on Highway 20. The man said he was heading from Bakersfield, California, to Eugene on foot. The man was dressed warmly except for his tennis shoes.

The officer could not dissuade him from continuing his trek. The officer left and picked up some food, drink and a flashlight and returned to give them to the man. He also provided the man with a pair of wool socks.

The man allowed the officer to talk him into warming up at the station, but then he continued on his journey.

• A follow-on driver broke the arm off a security gate. This is approximately the 4,444th time that has happened at Black Butte Ranch but hope remains that drivers will one day gain wisdom and forbearance.
