Man Arrested After Firing Gun Toward A Taxi

A 20-year-old man was arrested on a number of charges after reports of shots being fired early Friday morning near the 3000 block of Old Dufur Road in The Dalles.  The Dalles Police determined a taxi driver kicked two customers out of his taxi cab, and one of the disgruntled passengers discharged a handgun in the direction of the taxi, but neither the taxi nor the driver were struck by any bullets.  Police identified the man who fired the handgun as 20-year-old Jeffrey Michael Beck of The Dalles.  He was arrested and booked into NORCOR on 13 counts of unlawful use of a weapon, two counts of menacing, two counts of reckless endangering, and carrying a concealed firearm.  A statement from The Dalles Police Department indicates a number of spent casings and bullets were found near the suspected location of the shooting.  Police located video surveillance at a local grocery store which showed the two men getting into the taxi moments before the shooting occurred.  The incident is still under investigation and anybody with information is encouraged to call The Dalles Police Department at 541-296-2613.
