Jared Weston Walter pleaded not guilty Monday in Multnomah County Circuit Court to third-degree robbery, interfering with public transit, second-degree disorderly conduct and harassment.
During the hearing, Deputy District Attorney Chuck French said the 22-year-old is a suspect in other incidents in which women riders have either had their hair cut or glued on TriMet buses. TriMet spokeswoman Bekki Witt says three such cases have been reported in recent weeks.
The Oregonian reports that Walter has an outstanding warrant on an assault charge in King County, Wash., in connection with a hair-gluing incident.
