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.
