The Sheriff's Office says Joshua Smith, Travis Lucky and Michael Meier are being cited for disorderly conduct after allegedly blocking an intersection east of Corbett. It is unclear why the three men set up the roadblock.
"The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office will not tolerate this type of illegal activity," Reese said in a statement announcing the charges.
"If you see this activity or are stopped by a civilian, call 911, and a deputy will respond and investigate. We encourage people to call the Sheriff's Office to report suspicious activity, and to not take action on their own."
Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts said Wednesday that his community was also getting complaints about illegal roadblocks.
Fifteen arrests have been made in connection with looting in evacuation zones, Roberts said, and some citizens are expressing concern.
Law enforcement agencies are also dealing with fears stoked by unfounded conspiracy theories that far-left activists are starting fires deliberately and cutting down power lines, added Roberts. He also said that it is illegal for any individuals to set up armed checkpoints.
"We do not want armed citizens inappropriately stopping people," Roberts said.

В Орегоне массивные пожары и местные праваки, которых в сельской местности там масса, начали устраивать блок-посты и задерживать людей, не имея на это абсолютно никаких прав. Местный оффис шерифа начал арестоввать "добровольных помощников". Но вот противопожарные рвы и засеки эти чуваки делать не хотят, хотя для этого не нужно никакой подготвки, только желание, топор, пила и лопата. Хотят же они контролировать местных. В зоне эвакуации были случаи грабежа пустых домов и, самое главное, "ужасная антифа" якобы поджигает леса и обрезает провода. Вот ради этого праваки и выставили заслоны. Но, как обычно, никаких поджигателей и грабителей они не поймали, зато поглумились над гражданскими.
