HILLSBORO, Ore- On November 6, 2025, a Washington County jury found Jerone Enrico Cuie guilty of possession of a weapon by an inmate, felon in possession of a firearm, and supplying contraband. Deputy District Attorney Alicia Gerten prosecuted this case before Judge Theodore Sims.
On August 30, 2025, Beaverton police initiated a traffic stop of the defendant after they observed a forged registration tag displayed in his vehicle’s window. Officers learned the defendant was driving with a suspended driver’s license and was also issued a detainer related to a felony probation violation. Officers conducted a search of his person and asked if they missed anything during the pat down, which he denied. While en route to the Washington County Jail, the defendant asked an officer if he would be subject to a strip search during the intake process.
During processing at the jail, deputies found a fully loaded handgun hidden in the defendant’s underwear. The defendant was already a convicted felon for unlawful use of a weapon with a firearm stemming from a Multnomah County attempted murder case and was barred from possessing any firearms.
The Washington County District Attorney’s Office commends the work of the Beaverton Police Department and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for November 13, 2025.
