Police Scanner – May 11 – May 18
A Keizer city councilor was accused of harassment, a misdemeanor crime, in connection with a dispute at a Keizer home, according to the Salem Police Department.
Soraida Cross, 50, was cited on Wednesday, May 14. The Class B misdemeanor is punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $2,500.
Salem police investigated the matter at the request of Keizer police. As a councilor, Cross has a voice in the city budget, including that for the police agency.
The incident happened at a home on North Steven Court just before 10 p.m.
“Officers learned a verbal dispute occurred between three adults at the residence, a man and two women. The argument escalated,” according to Angela Hedrick, Salem police public information officer. One woman “pushed the other, causing a fall.”
The victim, a 30-year-old Keizer woman, declined medical care and no information was available about any injuries.
Cross wouldn’t answer questions about the matter.
“Out of concern for my personal safety, I have no comment,” she said in an email.
Cross was elected to the council in 2022, running unopposed for a term that ends in 2027. She is a hotel manager by profession and also serves on the board of the Family YMCA of Marion and Polk Counties.
