Tigard Police say a busy weekend of violence kept officers and detectives tied up on two separate felony assault calls that left people hurt and ended with arrests. The department says the cases are unrelated, but both pulled in significant police resources and required serving search warrants, according to a brief news release shared on social media along with contact information for reporters.

What the department said

In a weekend post on X, Tigard Police said the two felony assault investigations are not connected but both “left people hurt” and involved serving search warrants that led to arrests, according to Tigard Police. The post links out to a longer written news release and lists a media contact for reporters seeking more detail.

Investigators have not publicly identified any suspects or released where the assaults occurred, noting that both cases remain active. The department said additional information will be released when it will not interfere with the ongoing work.

How investigators responded

The department’s online newsroom lists its public information officer and shows that Tigard Police regularly publish updates on investigations, warrants, and arrests, per the Tigard Police newsroom. Those posts typically come after detectives have executed search warrants and evidence technicians have processed scenes, the kind of work the agency described when it said both weekend cases demanded “significant police resources.”

For now, the agency is keeping details close as investigators continue interviews, evidence collection, and follow-up work, with a promise to share more when they can.

Local context

The twin weekend assaults land in the middle of a steady run of serious cases in the southwest Portland suburbs. Tigard officers and detectives have been handling a string of violent-crime investigations and arrests in recent months, including an earlier domestic-violence case reported as a domestic violence arrest in Tigard. Coordinated detective work, search warrants, and multi-officer responses have been hallmarks of those investigations across Washington County.

As with past cases, the department says it plans to release more details on the weekend assaults once investigators are confident it will not compromise the probes.

How to contact the department

For media inquiries, Tigard Police list public information officer Kelsey Anderson as the contact at 971-708-2921 or [email protected], information that appears on the agency’s newsroom page.

Anyone with tips or information tied to either felony assault investigation is urged to contact Tigard Police directly. The department reminds the public to call 9-1-1 in an emergency and says additional updates will be shared as soon as investigators are able to release them.
