Malheur County, Ore. – A Clatsop County deputy district attorney is moving across the state to become the district attorney in Malheur County.
Gov. Kate Brown appointed David Goldthorpe to the post Friday. He replaces Dan Norris, who resigned to become the state’s first elder abuse prosecutor. Norris was the Malheur County DA for 16 years.
Goldthorpe has been a prosecutor on the North Coast for about seven years. He ran unsuccessfully for Circuit Court judge earlier this year.
