Dad who allegedly drugged girls at Lake Oswego sleepover placed on GPS tracking device
Michael Meyden, the Lake Oswego man charged with various crimes after allegedly drugging three 12-year-old girls at a sleepover and was subsequently released on bail, was required by Clackamas County Circuit Court to be monitored with GPS tracking in a court decision this week. Meyden allegedly put Temazepam in smoothies he made for the girls during a sleepover and the girls subsequently blacked out, felt the effects of the drugs 12 hours later and were treated at Randall Children’s Hospital following the incident in August 2023. A judge set bail at $50,000 and barred Meyden from going near schools and other areas based on the terms of his release. He was charged with three counts each of causing another to ingest a controlled substance, application of a schedule-IV controlled substance and delivery of a controlled substance to a minor. The Oregonian first reported news of the GPS tracking device requirement.
Lake Oswego to conduct Jean Road and Pilkington Road improvements starting next week
The city of Lake Oswego will begin implementing safety improvements at the intersection of Pilkington Road and Jean Road Monday, May 20, causing some road closure and traffic delays. The city will add a new signal at the intersection along with curb ramps, bike lanes and sidewalks. The city said some lanes may be shifted or reduced during work hours (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) in May and June but the public could expect a full road closure on Jean Road between Lakeview Boulevard and Pilkington Road once school is out. Businesses in that area will remain open, the city added. “After careful evaluation, the Engineering Department recommended a signal for the Jean and Pilkington intersection to improve transportation capacity, efficiency, and safety. A signal will address sub-standard performance and improve pedestrian safety. It also minimizes impacts to adjacent properties,” the city website reads.
