Oregon v. McClure
Annotate this Case
Defendant was convicted of resisting arrest for violating the terms of his parole. Defendant argued on appeal that an "arrest," as used on ORS 162.315, required that a person be restrained or placed in custody for the purpose of charging that person with an offense. Defendant argued that because a parole violation was not an "offense" as defined in ORS 161.505 and because he was restrained for a parole violation, officers had not placed him under restraint "for the purpose of charging him with an offense." Upon review of his appeal, the Supreme Court concluded that an arrest for a parole violation qualified as an arrest for the purposes of ORS 162.315, and affirmed his conviction.
