Prohibition sting ended with a deadly gunfight

from Offbeat Oregon History podcast · host Finn J.D. John

IF YOU LOOK UP Prohibition Agent Glenn H. Price on the “Fallen Agents” page at www.atf.gov, you’ll get a very brief account of his death: “Prohibition Agents Glenn H. Price and Grover Todd were attempting to arrest a bootlegger named Phillip Warren in Grand Ronde, Ore. Warren escaped, obtained a rifle, and killed both agents. Warren was later taken into custody and charged with murder under state law.” All of which is true … in the same way that “Using dynamite on a beached whale in 1970 led to success in removing it from the beach” is true. It just … leaves out a few things, that’s all. (Grand Ronde, Polk and Yamhill County; 1920s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2508c.prohibition-shootout-in-grand-ronde-706.522.html)
