Paid leave for Oregon AFSCME union member

A Clackamas County parole and probation officer was charged today with assaulting his wife and was placed on administrative leave, authorities said. Perry Marshall, 43, has worked as a county parole officer for five years, said Mark Rasmussen, director of Clackamas County Community Corrections. Fairview police arrested Marshall Monday night on accusations of attacking his wife. He was charged with coercion, strangulation, fourth-degree assault and first-degree attempted kidnapping, Rasmussen said. Marshall will be on leave while Clackamas County officials investigate whether further disciplinary action is warranted, Rasmussen said.
