Beaverton Police Arrest Suspect, Recover Stolen Mail And Evidence Of Widespread Identity Theft (Photo) - 08/31/26

A Beaverton Police Department investigation that began with the arrest of a wanted man led officers to recover hundreds of pieces of suspected stolen mail and identity-theft evidence, stolen financial documents, credit cards, passports, counterfeit postal keys, drugs, and other suspected stolen property.

On August 14, 2026, at approximately 7:00 p.m., a Beaverton Police patrol officer was patrolling the Redwood Creek Apartments on SW Windmill Drive when he recognized Joseph Daniel Gregori exiting a vehicle. The officer knew Gregori had an outstanding felony warrant related to burglary, aggravated theft, forgery and conspiracy charges stemming from investigations in Clackamas County.

Gregori was taken into custody without incident.

During the arrest, officers developed evidence connecting Gregori to the fraudulent use of a victim’s credit card. The victim later confirmed several unauthorized transactions had recently been made using the card, including purchases at GameStop and other businesses.

Officers subsequently obtained a search warrant for the vehicle Gregori had been occupying.

During the search, officers recovered a significant amount of property believed to be connected to mail theft, identity theft, forgery and other crimes, including:

• Hundreds of pieces of suspected stolen mail and identity-theft related documents
• At least 34 credit cards that appeared to have been removed from mail, along with additional unopened credit cards
• Numerous stolen and altered checks, including checks connected to individuals and businesses
• Three U.S. passports not belonging to Gregori
• Driver licenses, Social Security cards and other personal identifying information belonging to multiple victims
• Counterfeit U.S. Postal Service master keys
• Thousands of collectible trading cards, including Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering and sports cards
• Approximately 1.8 grams of suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia
• Burglary tools

Investigators have identified numerous potential victims in Oregon and Washington and are continuing to determine the full scope of the suspected criminal activity. Evidence recovered during the investigation included financial documents and personally identifying information connected to dozens of individuals and businesses.

Gregori was lodged at the Washington County Jail on charges including Aggravated Identity Theft, Mail Theft, Identity Theft, Fraudulent Use of a Credit Card, Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine, and Possession of Burglary Tools.

On August 21, 2026, Gregori was indicted by a Washington County grand jury on charges of Aggravated Identity Theft, Mail Theft, Fraudulent use of Credit Card, Identity Theft, Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine. Gregori is in custody at the time of this release.

Because investigators recovered counterfeit U.S. Postal Service master keys and a significant amount of suspected stolen mail, information from the investigation is also being forwarded to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

This remains an active investigation.

The Beaverton Police Department is working with the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office following the discovery of a vehicle associated with two Beaverton men who have been missing since September 2025.

The missing men are Eddie Curtis Hair, 67, and Scott Jon Smith, 68, who were last known to be traveling together in late September of 2025. Hair and Smith, who were close friends, were believed to be preparing for an outdoor trip involving camping, hiking, or searching for rare rocks.

On August 14, 2026, loggers working in the Jones Creek area off Highway 6 located a vehicle that appeared to have left the roadway and rolled down a steep hillside.

The vehicle was identified as the red 2005 Jeep Wrangler associated with Hair and Smith.

Human skeletal remains were located with the vehicle. Based on the information currently available, investigators believe the remains are likely those of Hair and Smith. Official identification of the remains has not yet been completed.

According to the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office the location and condition of the vehicle are consistent with a motor vehicle crash. The vehicle sustained significant damage after leaving the roadway, with debris located throughout the surrounding area.

Beaverton Man Sentenced To Prison For Shooting 16-Year-Old Girlfriend (Photo) - 08/06/26

Beaverton Man Sentenced to Prison for Shooting 16-Year-Old Girlfriend

A Washington County Circuit Court judge has sentenced Sky Alexander Korbut, 20, to 70 months in prison for shooting his 16-year-old girlfriend in Beaverton in November 2024.

On November 21, 2024, at approximately 4:55 a.m., Beaverton Police officers responded to an assault with a weapon call at a residence on SW Prairie Terrace. The 911 caller, Sky Alexander Korbut, who was 18 years old at the time, reported that he had accidentally shot his 16-year-old girlfriend.

Officers arrived to find the victim suffering from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. She was transported to a local hospital with critical injuries.

Korbut was initially arrested on charges of Assault in the Third Degree and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm. As the investigation progressed, detectives uncovered additional evidence, including statements provided by the victim that contradicted Korbut’s account of the shooting.

Based on the evidence developed during the investigation, Korbut was indicted by a Washington County Grand Jury on charges of Assault in the Second Degree (Measure 11) and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm.

Following a week-long jury trial in April 2026, Korbut was found guilty on both charges.

Last week, a Washington County Circuit Court judge sentenced Korbut to 70 months in the Oregon Department of Corrections.
