Ironically, the man who replaced Staton on an interim basis, Mike Reese, was the Portland police chief until he was replaced by O'Dea. Portland's police chief, Larry O'Dea, resigned Monday amid criminal and internal investigations into whether he was forthright after accidentally shooting his friend during a camping trip on the other side of the state. O'Dea, 54, had been chief for little more than a year when he went on the April trip to sparsely populated Harney County in southeast Oregon. He shot his friend, Robert Dempsey, in the lower back with a .22 caliber rifle. O'Dea was placed on paid administrative leave, replaced on a temporary basis by an assistant chief, Donna Henderson.
