Additional victims of alleged police impersonator sought
The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office is seeking the public's help in identifying additional victims of a man suspected of impersonating a police officer in Gresham, Southeast Portland and North Portland.
During an investigation into Christopher Denton, 31, who is being held on federal gun and drug-related charges, MCSO Special Investigation Unit deputies learned he had been driving a 2011 Dodge Charger that is believed to be a decommissioned police vehicle.
Law enforcement alleges that Denton had inappropriate and unwanted contact with a woman in 2018, and there may have been others exploited by him.
If you or someone you know was victimized by Denton, contact the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office Tip Line at 503-988-0560 and reference case #22-20797.
