Portland police today announced the arrest of Marlin Pohlman, a local high tech exec, whom they allege drugged and sexually assaulted four women. A quick Google search suggests Pohlman is a far more interesting guy than the average alleged criminal. The cops are also unusually anxious to keep him near by—he's being held on $2 million bail, a figure not often seen in local arrests.
