On Sunday, August 14, 2006, at 6:26 a.m., Southeast Precinct officers and members of the East County Vehicle Collision Team responded to a serious injury collision at the intersection of Southeast 12th Avenue and East Burnside Street.
Initial witness statements indicate that an Isuzu Rodeo, traveling northbound on Southeast 12th Avenue, collided with a TriMet bus traveling westbound on East Burnside Street.
The collision forced the Isuzu into a Ford Focus and Chrysler minivan that were stopped at a red light facing southbound on Southeast 12th Avenue.
During the collision, a 36-year-old male was ejected from the Isuzu. He then sustained life-threatening injuries when he struck the minivan after being ejected from the Isuzu.
After the person ejected from the Isuzu collapsed on the ground, 66-year-old Marvin Lewis, who was walking nearby at the time of the collision, took the victim's wallet from his pocket.
Arriving officers arrested Lewis and recovered the wallet. Lewis was arrested on one count of Theft in the Second Degree and transported to the Justice Center jail. The Identification Division will send out Lewis's photo as soon as it is available.
