***Media Release***  
Case# S202600394  
  
On March 14th, around 3:15 PM, Deputy Francis was on patrol following up on reported timber theft going on in the area of Denton Creek Rd. This area is privately owned by Weyerhaeuser, and blocked by a locked gate and “No Trespassing” signs.   
  
When Deputy Francis arrived to continue her ongoing investigation, she observed that a vehicle was parked by the gate. The vehicle matched the license plate and description that Deputy Francis had been given from the reported theft and trespass on the previous day.   
  
Deputy Francis located two individuals that were beyond the locked gate, Kaine Horner (28), and Tamisha Anderson (42). Both Horner and Anderson were in possession of illegally harvested “Special Forest Products”, including Myrtle and Maple wood burls, Fiddlehead Mushrooms, and Stinging Nettle.   
  
Both Horner and Anderson were cited for Unlawful Cutting and Transport of Special Forest Products, and Criminal Trespass 2nd Degree. The wood and other forest products were returned to the property owner.   
  
If you’re interested in what “Special Forest Products” means and want to learn more about the lawful way to go about mushroom picking or cutting down trees, please consider the following resources.   
  
ORS 164.813 is the Oregon Revised Statute that goes over what constitutes illegally cutting and transporting. https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_164.813  
  
The Oregon State Board of Forestry actually defines what a “Special Forest Product” is.
