The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter

Good morning, Salem.
Last March, on-duty DEA agent Samuel Landis ran a stop sign at the intersection of Southeast Leslie and High Streets, killing cyclist Marganne Allen.
Newly unsealed court documents have revealed more about what happened leading up to and after the crash. We’ll have more coverage of the case later today.
In the meantime, read our prior reporting on the case here.
Here’s some of today’s news. You can always find our latest reports on our website.
