Scappoose Fatal Stabbing: Derek Welter Arrested after Stabbing Female in Neck on Highway 30 Near Tarbell Road

Scappoose Stabbing: The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office claims that a murder suspect has been placed under arrest following an incident that occurred on Tuesday afternoon. According to trustworthy sources, there was a significant stabbing on Hwy 30 close to Tarbell Road in Columbia County, OR, and the incident is being investigated by law authorities.

The report stated that a victim, who was only identified as a female, had been stabbed in the neck. The offender reportedly left in a black 2005 Chevy Silverado.

At about three in the afternoon, police were called to Southwest 4th Street and stated they were searching for a “dangerous man.” It took some time to figure out why there was a multiagency manhunt. Just before two in the morning on Wednesday, the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office made the announcement that it had detained the suspect and confirmed the incident was a murder.

Derek Welter was named as the suspect. The CCSO claims that even though the suspect is in custody and there are no safety concerns, the investigation is still underway.

Despite the assertions of the police that there was no incident or threat at any of the schools, the city’s school district nevertheless moved students into nearby buildings out of prudence.
