A woman from Prineville was arrested earlier today after allegedly stealing a motorhome in Redmond that had a black Labrador retriever inside. The vehicle was taken from a parking lot at 1400 SW Canal Blvd. just before 1 p.m., according to Redmond Police Lt. April Huey.
The investigation into allegations against a local Prineville car salesman, Michael Smetzer Jr. and his company Central Oregon Motors, has been taken over by the FBI.
Law enforcement and DMV investigations into Prineville-based Central Oregon Motors, LLC, have been revealed following an initial story first reported by the Prineville Review last month as well as a report last week by KTVZ's Matthew Draxton.
The former executive director of a Prineville-based non-profit has filed a lawsuit against the organization for breach of contract and retaliation as a whistleblower, according to court documents.
