The man who was pepper-sprayed by Ted Wheeler after confronting the Portland mayor about COVID-19 dining rules on Sunday, is a lawyer and heir to a dairy fortune whose sale to a business rival resulted in a bitter lawsuit that divided the family. Cary Randall Cadonau was identified by Portland police as the man who accosted Wheeler while he was dining with former Mayor Sam Adams outside McMenamins Hillsdale Brewery & Public House on Sunday night at around 8pm. Cadonau is a partner at a mid-size downtown Portland law firm. According to his bio posted online, he specializes in estate, business litigation, family law, personal injury, and criminal defense. He made news in the fall of 2019 when his family was in the midst of a bitter dispute over the sale of Alpenrose Dairy, the more-than-a-century old 55-acre dairy farm in Southwest Portland that was founded by his great-grandfather, Henry Cadenau. Cadonau and his two siblings sued their aunts and cousins after they removed his father
