Officer Fires Weapon At Subject

A traffic stop one week ago in Odell resulted in the suspect being taken custody after a deputy fired his weapon.  According to the Oregon State Police, a patrol sergeant with the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office attempted to pull over a vehicle on December 3 for traffic infractions but the driver did not stop, instead continuing north and eventually driving into an orchard on Chamberlain Drive.  About 400 yards into the orchard the driver stopped and quickly exited the vehicle with a black object in his hand.  The deputy gave verbal commands and fired one shot, missing the subject, who eventually complied with the officer and was taken into custody.  The subject, a 27-year-old from Odell, was arrested and charged with Driving Under the Influence of a Controlled Substance, felony attempting to elude police, and no operator’s license.  The use of force by the deputy is under investigation, with officers from the Hood River Police Department, Hood River County Sheriff’s Office, Wasco County Sheriff’s Office and the Oregon State Police working on the investigation.
