PORTLAND, Ore. (Dec 8, 2025) — A longtime Portland police officer has been arrested in Clackamas County following an off-duty incident now under criminal investigation, authorities said.
The Portland Police Bureau said it was notified Monday that Clackamas County sheriff’s deputies arrested Officer Jimmy Pryce in connection with an incident that occurred Saturday, Nov. 29. Pryce, a 27-year veteran assigned to North Precinct, was booked into the Clackamas County Jail on charges of strangulation, fourth-degree assault and harassment.
Pryce has been placed on administrative leave, police said.
“We take this extremely seriously,” Police Chief Bob Day said in a statement. “While the involved officer, like any individual, is entitled to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, the charges do not reflect the values or expectations of the Portland Police Bureau. This incident occurred off duty and is being handled by another agency, and we are cooperating and conducting our own internal review. Our commitment to accountability and public trust remains unwavering.”
The bureau’s Internal Affairs Division has launched its own investigation in addition to the criminal case being led by the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.
Portland police said they will not comment further and directed questions about the criminal investigation to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.
