PORTLAND, Oregon – Today, Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt announced that Tusitala “Tiny” Toese, 25, has been indicted and arraigned on 11 charges stemming from a “Proud Boy” rally last year. Toese was extradited from Washington state the evening of Tuesday, March 22, 2022, where he had been held in custody on unrelated charges. Toese was arraigned this morning, Wednesday, March 23, 2022. 

Earlier this year, Toese’s co-defendant, Miles Furrow, 41, was indicted and arraigned on eight charges stemming from the same event.

Several incidents that both Toese and Furrow were involved in transpired as a result of the event.  Based on this event and the past criminal convictions of Toese the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office has requested that the court hold Toese in custody without bail pending the disposition of these criminal charges.  Please refer to the court filing found here: Toese-Affidavit.pdf (mcda.us)
