The brutal beating was caught on tape by a local KGW news crew. The video was shot outside the Marion County search-and-rescue command center where police were conducting a search for a missing father and son.

Griffith, a deputy with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, said a local transient was arrested and charged with interference after he continually entered the command post and disrupted crews. The sheriff’s office sent its mental health team to the scene, and they are now working with the suspect to see if they can help him, Griffith said. source
