Police say Dons shot and killed Portland police Officer Colleen Waibel and injured
two other officers on Jan. 27 when they entered the house where he lived at 2612
S.E. 111th Ave. Police suspected a marijuana grow in the house and broke
through the front door when they suspected someone inside was destroying
evidence by burning marijuana in a woodstove.

Steven Douglas Dons and his roommate, Jeffery Harlan Moore,
face child-neglect and drug counts
By Wendy Siporen of The Oregonian staff
A Multnomah County grand jury Thursday added drug and child neglect and
endangerment charges against a man accused of killing a Portland police officer,
and also indicted his roommate on similar charges.
Portland and Gresham police arrested the roommate, Jeffery Harlan Moore, at
4:45 p.m. Thursday on the campus of Mt. Hood Community College, where he
works. Three plainclothes detectives made the arrest without incident, said Lt. Cliff
Madison, a Portland police spokesman. Moore, 44, is being held in the Justice
Center jail in lieu of $125,000 bail.
The new charges relate to a 51-plant marijuana grow operation police say they
found in the house and allegations that Moore and Steven Douglas Dons had
Moore's children, ages 7 and 9, near the marijuana and unsecured guns and
ammunition. Moore's children were visiting early in January from Nevada.
In addition to 13 counts that include aggravated murder, attempted aggravated
murder and assault, Dons, 37, now faces one count of manufacture of a controlled
substance, one count of possession of a controlled substance and two counts each
of first-degree child neglect and recklessly endangering another person.
Moore faces eight counts - the two drug charges related to the marijuana; the two
counts each of child neglect and reckless endangering; and one count each of
possession of cocaine and methamphetamine. Police found inhaling paraphernalia
for cocaine and methamphetamine in the house. The cocaine and
methamphetamine were not in "substantial quantities," said James McIntyre, a
Multnomah County senior deputy district attorney.
In an interview with The Oregonian last week, Moore denied knowing about the
51-plant marijuana grow behind what he said was a locked door. At the time, he
said he did not have an attorney and did not expect to be charged with a crime.
"I'm not guilty of anything," he said. "Why should I be charged?"
