OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) - The Clackamas County, Ore., sheriff’s office says the reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect in the murder of a county weighmaster has reached $16,000.

The sheriff’s office is working with U.S. marshals to find Dirck White, who has been identified as the prime suspect in the Feb. 6 death of Weighmaster Grady Waxenfelter.

Waxenfelter had stopped a truck hauling wood for not having a license.



The sheriff’s office says the Pierce County, Wash., sheriff’s office has an active warrant for White’s arrest on a weapons charge. White is also a suspect and sought for questioning in a Pierce County child abuse case.
