Suspect photographed in hit-and-run case turns self in
CLACKAMAS COUNTY, Ore. - A man photographed at the scene of a hit-and-run incident on Halloween has turned himself in, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said Friday.
Rashiei McKinney Brown, 22, of Portland was photographed by the victim of a hit-and-run incident on Oct. 31 in Clackamas County. The story was widely reported by local media outlets including KATU News.
Deputies said Brown turned himself in at about 9:30 p.m. Thursday. "The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office offers a thank you to the public, who after seeing the media coverage of the investigation, convinced Mr. Brown to surrender himself" to deputies, the sheriff's office said in a press release.
The incident took place at about 2 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 224 and SE Johnson Road. The area is known as Oatfield.
Deputies said Brown rear-ended a car being driven by Ciprian Gusetu, 35 of Milwaukie. Gusetu’s wife, who was 8-months pregnant, was also in the car. Neither were hurt.
After the crash, Brown got out of his car, picked up his license plate that had become detached during the crash, and then drove off into oncoming traffic, according to deputies.
Mr. Gusetu also got back in his car and pursued Brown, as did a witness to the crash who was in another vehicle.
Deputies said Brown tried to hide his car in a parking lot on SE Johnson Road, but Gusetu and the witness parked right next to him “in an attempt to exchange insurance information.”
At that time, Gusetu used his cell phone to photograph both Brown and his car’s license plate.
Brown got back into his car, deputies said, and then intentionally drove into Gusetu’s car a second time before driving over a curb and across landscaping to flee the area.
Brown was gone by the time deputies arrived on the scene, the sheriff’s office said. He was not found during a search of the area.
he's so photogenic when hit & running
Those aren't driving gloves !! goofball
More than likely he would not have turned himself in had they not taken his picture and gotten his license plate.
@RalphCramden You think?
Hey, Rashiel. Don't listen to these haters here on KATU. If you're reading this, please know there are plenty of people who would read this story and hope that this is the beginning of a better life for you.
Â
You can turn it around, man, you really can. America is rooting for you to show us the best of what you have to offer society -- and you DO have it within yourself to be a good citizen. It feels good to be one, I swear it does. It isn't easy starting out, but it gets better and better, and a whole lot easier as you go along.
Â
Hopefully you haven't hurt anyone too bad yet, including yourself.Â
Â
A lot of hateful people would say you aren't worth caring about.Â
Â
But a lot more people, like me, believe you are. We value your existence.
Â
Do the right things, man. It will all work out in the end if you do.
 @brautiganÂ
He already has two other misdemeanors for violent crimes and he only 22. In all of his booking photos he looks as clueless as he does in the pictures above. It's just a matter of time before he gets into the major leagues with a felony.
Â
No guess as to what crimes he committed when under 18.

@RalphCramden @brautigan  Now why does that not surprise me? Was he possible on parole, pobation, etc which is why he fled?
@RalphCramden @scared_citizen Funny how you guys "ASSUME" the worst he is a really good guy and if u knew the FULL TRUE STORY of his background and this incident you would probably think otherwise but I'm sure he doesn't care what you think. Oh yeah, we have VERY BEAUTIFUL TWINS and NO I'M NOT ON WELFARE. THANK YOU HAHAÂ
 @scared_citizen  @RalphCramden @brautiganÂ
Â
His life is pretty much done. He will have 4 more charges out of this incident. No employer would even give him a second look with so many other folks out there that don't have an extensive criminal record.
Â
He will be in and out of jail the rest of his life and be nothing but a burden to society on welfare. The odds are excellent that he has already breed and the mother and child are on welfare.
@brautigan  Looks like a hoodlum, acts like a hoodlum.....I call that a hoodlum. He will get respect when he gives respect. Hit and run (twice!) is not respecting other people.Â
Â
Â
1: thug; especially: a violent criminal
2: a young ruffian
Â
Origin of HOODLUM - Â from German dialect (Swabia) hudelum "disorderly"
Â
Funny, the police after conducting an extensive search (sarcasm) could not find him, so he turns himself in.
Well, I'm glad he turned himself in... now they can start sorting out what they can charge him with...
good job krusty the clown. probably the smartest thing you ever did
Mr. Brown, kudos for coming to your senses and turning yourself in. Perhaps in the future you'll think twice about making another bad decision like that. You should hope the judge doesn't set an example of you....
 @vwfreak Do you really think he has any senses to come to? My guess is he was threatened by his relatives, otherwise the pos would be out there still. You see this guy doesn't give a rats ass about anybody but himself.
 @oodathunked  @vwfreak People can change. Have faith, and don't be so cynical.
 @vwfreak  @scared_citizen @vwfreak Why did you pull the race card when no one else did. Was the color of his skin the fist thing you saw? Unlike the rest of us whether cynical or not the fact that he is a repeat criminal is the basis for our anger.
@vwfreak
Based on his history. Unlike you, I seem to be able to do basic internet searches.

Â
@scared_citizen You believe you'll see him in the news in the future based on what? That he's black? That he ran from the scene? If he was a white, clean cut Christian from Lake Oswego would you have a different opinion?
@brautigan @oodathunked @vwfreak  The Universe has laws (much like civilzed society).Â
Â
Newton's First Law of Motion that states: An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This is also known as the Law of Inertia. Â
Â
In McKinney Brown's case, he will continue to be a hoodlum until he gets acted upon by the Police and Prison (or a bullet) in which case, he can reform or get worse. The choice going FORWARD is his. My cynicism will not stand in his way no matter which choice he makes. I do believe we will see him in the news in the future however.
@oodathunked Maybe true, maybe not. I'm not sticking up for him, just saying in the heat of the moment perhaps he was scared and didn't know what to do but take off.
Your reading assignment for today...

Oregon Revised Statutes:
Â
Assault in the First Degree: http://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/163.185
Assault in the Second Degree: http://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/163.175
Assault in the Third Degree: http://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/163.165
Assault in the Fourth Degree: http://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/163.160
Â
It would appear that in Oregon, the offense of Battery is defined under the term and offense of Assault.
Â
By the end of the term, I expect you all to be proficiently fluent in Legalese. ;-)
He should be charged with Assault since the second wreck was intentional. Why did he flee? Was he under the influence? No license? No insurance? Warants? Stolen car (he is driving with gloves while wearing a short sleeve shirt)? Illegal Alien?Â
Â
And whats the deal with his name? The picture says it is Jahi Rashid McKinney Brown but the article says it is Rashiei McKinney Brown. Why the two last names? They didnt know who his father was so they named him after "suspects"?
@scared_citizen How naive and stupid can you be what would make you think that's why he has two last names? Is it not possible his mother was married but kept her last name also? And please don't believe everything you see on the news because they only tell you what they WANT you to know and BOTH middle names are wrong its not Rashiei or Rashid.Â
 @scared_citizen An assault charge wouldn't fit because there were no injuries. He could be charged with criminal mischief, harassment, and possibly menacing.Â
 @Beergod  @scared_citizen Not true. For instance, throwing a rock at someone is an assault, even if it misses the intended victim. If it hits the person, it is battery. Assault is an attempt to harm someone by physical contact.
 @Beergod  @KKStJohn  @MarkKpic P.S. I almost forgot. Harassment is an ambifuous term whose meaning varies widely from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. It covers a wide range of behaviors of an offensive nature. But the intent to cause serious injury to another, and/or the attempt to do so, is something altogether different -- it is ASSAULT.
 @Beergod  @KKStJohn  @MarkKpic Perhaps you should lay off the beer.
 @Beergod  @felines99  @KKStJohn  @MarkKpic And once again you are WRONG. What you call "my" definition comes from the legal dictionary which is found in all law libraries, and which is used in law schools across the nation. Again, the meaning of the term "assault" is an attempt, with the intent to injure. If you want to CHARGE someone with assault under criminal law, there must be an injury. But assault, plain and simple, is demonstrating an unlawful INTENT to injure another or another's property. It is the ATTEMPT which makes it assault, not the resultant harm done or not done. You may have a history in LE, but the definition I am giving is the one accepted in the legal community, and the one taught in law schools. And I have the authority of my brother, an attorney with fifty years of experience behind him, to support my stand.
 @felines99  @KKStJohn  @MarkKpic Your definition of assault is used for a tort claim in civil court. It's not a criminal matter and therefore not an arrestable offence. The criminal definition of assault has to include an injury involving substantial pain. Â
 @felines99  @KKStJohn  @MarkKpic Your definition referenced above is not valid in the State of Oregon. I've been a police officer in this state for 10 years and have hundreds of assault arrests, as well as hundreds of hours of testimony in court on these cases. So I feel safe in saying you are wrong.Â
 @felines99  @Beergod  @scared_citizen Well call it what you will, your definition of assault is not enforceable under Oregon Law. It's considered  Harassment.
 @Beergod  @scared_citizen s/b "battery".
 @KKStJohn  @MarkKpic Try reading the definition of assault found in the Legal Dictionary referred to above. I'm afraid that YOU are the ignorant one.
 @Beergod  @scared_citizen From the "Law Dictionary", James A. Ballentine, UCLA Law School, the definition of assault is: "A demonstration of an unlawful intent by one person to inflict immediate injury on the person of another then present; an intentional attempt, by violence, to do an injury to the person of another; an attempt to commit a bettery. 4 Am Jur 124 (American Jurisprudence).
 @MarkKpic , don't try to write legal jargon. You are failing miserably. Go back to 4th grade and repeat grammar classes through 12th grade. SHEESH. Â
 @Beergod  @scared_citizen Nope, throwing a rock and missing is assault. If I attempt to injure you, I am assaulting you.
 @Beergod  @scared_citizen Nope. Throwing a rock and missing is ASSAULT.Â
 @MarkKpic  @Beergod  @scared_citizen I am not saying that the LEGAL definition of assault in Oregon involves inflicting injury; I am saying that the general meaning of the term "assault" does not involve inflicting injury.Â
 @MarkKpic  @felines99  @Beergod  @scared_citizen Not to split hairs here but, your phrasing is a little off, which would mean a big difference in court. Assault 4 is what we are talking about and its causing a physical injury, not serious physical injury. Serious physical injury doesn't come into play until assault 1,2,3 which also has to involve a dangerous or deadly weapon.
 @felines99  @Beergod  @scared_citizen The offense occurred in Oregon. Therefore, insofar as legal repercussions afforded to the law enforcement agencies/prosecuting attorneys involved in Mr Browns case, the only relevent definition of 'Assault' appears in the Oregon Revised Statutes.Â
Â
I don't disagree that there SHOULD be additional legal remedy availible, but with 'want in one hand in sh#t in the other', only one has value.Â
 @felines99  @Beergod  @scared_citizen Sorry you're wrong. Throwing a rock and missing would be harassment. You would have to cause an injury with substantial pain before it would be considered assault. There is no such thing as battery in Oregon.
 @MarkKpic  @Beergod  @scared_citizen The legal definition of assault varies from state to state. But the term "assault" does not require that injury be inflicted on another person or another person's property. Merely attempting to inflict such injury qualifies as assault.
 @felines99  @Beergod  @scared_citizen Not according to Oregon Revised Statutes. Reference ORS 163.160-185.
Â
In Oregon, all assault charges include the prerequisite ofÂ
Â
"Â Intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causes serious physical injury to another..."
Â
It's sad, but it's true. About the closest the prosecutor could hope to convict on would be Reckless endangering.
 @Beergod  @scared_citizen One of those moments that a part of me wishes that the victims had claimed whiplash, and gone to the hospital. At least then, there could be some sort of significant, tangible judicial response other than just a trip through the booking revolving door.Â
@MarkKpic @Beergod @scared_citizen Did you take into consideration...the sanity clause...though I've haven't believed in that since I was 4 or 5 !
And, since a few days have passed, about the only thing that they'll be able to charge him with will be a couple of misdemeanors. If (and that's a mighty big IF) he has insurance, they'll end up footing the bill for the repair, and then drop him. Meanwhile, the judicial response will be some fines (that he'll never pay), and perhaps a civil settlement (again, that he'll never pay).Â
Â
...and he'll likely be back on the street driving again by this weekend.Â
Â
Who says crime doesn't pay?
