Man arrested for offensive littering after throwing money out of car window

An Oregon man faces a charge of offensive littering, among others, after being arrested following a police chase in Cornelius on Saturday morning.

Kyler Martin from Beaverton allegedly sped away after his Cadillac was pulled over on traffic violations at around 3 am. A deputy who pulled the car over did not pursue, but radioed the information to other deputies. A second deputy spotted the Cadillac and tried to pull him over, but Martin allegedly refused to stop.



While the pursuit was underway, the deputy saw items being thrown out the window. Eventually, the Cadillac stopped. Martin, 26, was arrested at the scene. When deputies went back to pick up what was thrown out of the Cadillac’s window, they found paper money.

About five ounces of marijuana was found in the car, deputies said. Along with the offensive littering charge, Martin is charged with attempting to elude police, reckless driving and recklessly endangering another person – a passenger. Other charges may be forthcoming.
