Michael Dick / Multnomah County Sheriff's Office
ADVERTISEMENTS
The strong arm of the law, or should we say the strong hand of an elderly woman, apprehended a naked intruder early Tuesday, Dec. 30.
Gresham resident Michael Gordon Dick (that’s right), 46, is being held on $104,000 bail on accusations of felony burglary, harassment and private indecency at the Multnomah County Detention Center.
The 88-year-old victim was in her robe at 6:30 a.m. when she confronted Dick after finding him in her home in the 2500 block of Southeast 287th Avenue.
He’d slipped in through an unlocked sliding door. Then, saying nothing, he reportedly backed her into the living room and shoved her face down onto a chair.
Before whatever plans the suspect might have had in mind could take place, the victim reached behind her and grabbed the intruder’s crotch, “giving him a good squeeze,” wrote Deputy Paul McRedmond, a spokesman for the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, in a press release titled “Naked Home Invader Captured After Senior Citizen Grabs His ‘Cahoochies.’ ”
The good squeeze prompted the intruder to tear himself away from the woman and flee her home. A county code enforcement officer in the area heard the call broadcast over the police radio and positioned his vehicle at 287th Avenue and Southeast Division Drive.
When two cars drove by, he jotted down the license plate information. Troutdale police stopped one of the vehicles a short time later and noted the driver matched the suspect’s description.
In fact, they recognized him as the same man Troutdale police arrested in May for masturbating in a car near a school bus.
After questioning by county detectives, they arrested the man. McRedmond said the victim was quite shaken by the crime and wants to remain anonymous.
Nothing like good instant justice. wonder just what the boys in the slammer will have to say to this fruitcake. Good going grandma!

With a name like that, Mr. Dick probably has a future in Portland politics.

Dominick- stay in Germany. PLEASE. Because it takes a special kind of stupid to tie an 88 year old woman defending herself so valiently to your dissatisfaction with our presidential pick.

@ "get over yourself":
he he ... obviously you canīt read or my english is so bad that you understood just the contrary to what iīm saying - or maybe your grey cells were still under influence of something i donīt take and donīt even know what itīs called *LOL* but i guess on new yearīs day itīs acceptable .... btw, foreigners donīt like being told by u.s. smartasses what to do, where to go or where to stay. this is exactly the kind of bad manners of the past 8 yrs which got you into the current mess. as is misspelling other peopleīs names.

Hi Dominik!
Greetings from NE Portland in the Hollywood District.
Thank you for your very kind words. Best Wishes also to you and your fellow citizens in 2009. Please know that not all Portlanders are DICKS, even though "get over yourself" seems to be rather well endowed. ;) I completely agree with your assessment of A)Our next President B)Bad-ass grannies C)Ill-mannered Americans. I hope you'll accept apologies from the rest of the people of Portland for the inappropriate and rude response from one grumpy a-hole. Most of us are very nice, cool people. I hope someday you'll have an opportunity to visit us and see for yourself. Glückliches Neujahr!

@ Carla:
hullo back :) thank you for defending me :-* i didnīt take it personally, i guess the ... ehm, person whoīs advising to get over oneself just had a bad day. and PLEASE donīt apologize, really no need for. HE is the jerk here *g* anyhow, i wasnīt criticizing: what i meant was that the u.s. still IS a country where amazing things can happen :) we donīt have such cute old grandmothers here just as we donīt have any good-looking presidents in europe hahaha ... btw, this is such a sad misunderstanding: if we do say some critical words from time to time (and this must be possible among friends) then itīs because we love america and because we care. period. portland is one of the few places in the u.s. iīve never been to but i hope one day iīll make up for it. i know how nice american people can be and iīm sure you portlanders are :) it sounds strange but i feel way more comfortable over there than in my own country *LOL* dear carla, once again, "glueckliches neues jahr" to you and to all nice portlanders :) letīs hope itīll be a better one .......

Re: Intruder picks the wrong victim
He's 46? Wow. He doesn't look at day over 70.
I'm glad the elderly woman was (physically) unharmed, but it sounds like Dick needs some time away.
See Dick stalk.
See Dick intrude.
See Dick get hurt.
See Dick go to jail.
Don't be a Dick.
