Man Arrested After I-84 Chase Could Face Hood River County Charges

The Multnomah County District Attorney’s office announced that the man who was apprehended following a high-speed chase on Interstate 84 through the Gorge on Thursday could face attempted aggravated murder charges in Hood River County.  Multnomah County District Attorney Rod Underhill said court documents indicate 26-year-old Grayson Morris, who was wanted in connection with the murder of his father in Ritzville, Washington, was initially spotted in Hood River County, and while still in the County repeatedly fired his firearm out the window, which troopers perceived as towards them.  The East Multnomah County Major Crimes Team has referred attempted aggravated murder charges to Hood River County law enforcement for investigation.  After the pursuit entered Multnomah County, Morris’ vehicle ran out of gas.  He exited his vehicle and with rifle in hand carjacked another vehicle.  Once the pursuit ended, law enforcement recovered a .30 caliber rifle from the vehicle Morris was stopped in.  Morris is in the Multnomah County Detention Center facing numerous charges.
