Shortly after midnight on Monday, May 29, a Wilsonville Police deputy attempted to pull over a 2005 gray BMW 325i without license plates heading southbound on I-5 while traveling 90 mph, according to a press release from the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office. The driver, 47-year-old Wayne Davis of Independence, exited the interstate onto Southwest Wilsonville Road.
