SALEM, Ore.-- On June 13, 2026, at approximately 1:30 p.m., officers were notified that a group of about
eight individuals were reportedly interfering with a permitted Salem Pride event in downtown Salem. Event
organizers, who had authority over access to the permitted area, asked the group to leave after observing
disruptions by the group.

Officers responded and contacted the group, advising them that they were trespassing and needed to exit
the permitted event space. After several attempts to obtain voluntary compliance, officers arrested Ryan
Clark, 49, and Mason Goodnight, 51, both of Roseburg, for Criminal Trespass. The remaining members of
the group with Clark and Goodnight left the area voluntarily.

Clark and Goodnight were taken into custody and transported to the Salem Police Department, where their
arrests were processed.
