Governor Kitzhaber's Son Jailed on Connection wth Crash

Logan Kitzhaber, the son for the former governor, was arrested Wednesday on charges including DUII, assault, and reckless driving. He was later released on bail.

Kitzhaber, whose father John resigned as governor in February 2015, was arrested on a warrant out of Lincoln County. In July, he sideswiped a motorhome on Highway 101 near Lincoln City, causing it to rollover.

State Police were told that Kitzhaber had tried to pass another car when he crashed into the motorhome.

Kitzhaber later admitted having had a beer before getting in his car and having had marijuana the night before.

There were two people in the motorhome at the time - both of whom where injured though neither seriously.

Kitzhaber was flown by helicopter to Oregon Health Science University and released the next day.
