Oregon deputy loses eye after being shot while serving eviction notice
Kaela Doze, daughter of Oregon Deputy Charles Doze, joins 'Fox & Friends First' to share news about her father's recovery after he was shot multiple times serving an eviction notice at an apartment complex.
A man accused of kidnapping an Oregon woman and locking her in a makeshift cell made of cinder blocks was allegedly caught attempting to break out of his cell at the Jackson County Jail last week.
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office in Oregon said 29-year-old Negasi Zuberi attempted to break through the reinforced glass in his cell window at the jail.
Zuberi was only able to damage the interior layer of the window, according to deputies.

At about 12:45 p.m. on Tuesday, a maintenance worker at the jail alerted deputies that a suspicious noise was coming from inside one of the jail cells.
Responding deputies discovered Zuberi reportedly standing on his bunk bed near a chipped window.
The deputies detained the inmate, put him through the full-body scanner and relocated him to a cell with no exterior windows.

When investigators searched the cell, they allegedly found an improvised tool suspected to have been used to damage the window.
Zuberi has been charged with second-degree attempted escape and first-degree disorderly conduct. The investigation into the matter is ongoing.
The suspect was in jail on a federal hold, as he awaits trial in October.

Zuberi, a married father, was arrested in July after a woman escaped from a cinder block cell at his Klamath Falls home, where she told authorities Zuberi held her hostage and sexually assaulted her.
FBI Portland Assistant Special Agent in Charge Stephanie Shark said in a statement this month that the woman was "kidnapped, chained, sexually assaulted, and locked in a cinder block cell."
"Police say she beat the door with her hands until they were bloody in order to break free," Shark said. "Her quick thinking and will to survive may have saved other women from a similar nightmare."
