Man suspected of Rose Quarter hit-and-run arrested
PORTLAND, Ore. – A man police say is suspected of hitting a security guard at the Rose Quarter Tuesday morning with his SUV and leaving the scene has been arrested, according to police.
Working on information they had gathered during their investigation, police said they were able to track down the location of 24-year-old Marc Lacy to a North Portland home.
Police say they arrested Lacy at a home in the 4500 block of North Vancouver in Portland at about 7:40 p.m. He was arrested without incident.
According to police, detectives received a tip that wasn't related to the photo snapped of the suspect by the Rose Quarter security guard who was hit and injured.
A Portland Police spokesman said the security guard was checking a parking lot after she noticed a chain had been cut at the entrance.
She saw a man, who police say was Lacy, standing next to a Ford Explorer. When Lacy saw her, police said he hopped in the SUV and drove at her.
The suspect hit the guard before she could get out of the way, police said. She was, however, able to snap a photo of the driver before she was hit.
After nobody had heard from the guard, police showed up and found her in the Benton parking lot at the Rose Quarter. She had serious injuries but has been released from the hospital.
Police said as Lacy drove away on Winning Way he missed a left turn onto North Williams and crashed into a bus shelter. He then ran away on foot.
Harry Richards lives nearby and said he was having his morning coffee when he saw the crash.
"He did look intoxicated," Richards said. "He was shaking real bad. He was just shaking."
Anyone with information about this crash is urged to contact CrimeTips@PortlandOregon.gov, reference PPB Case #12-55117.

 @Improprietous So what I'd like to know is, why he isn't booked until 11:58pm tonight, rofl
What an idiot.
good job
Good job officers. He looks much older than 24. Using both hands to get the key in the lock is the first clue to impairment.
You can run but you cant hide.
It's a good thing no one was standing at that shelter. He seems like the type of person that would have aimed for anyone standing there.

I hope this ass gets caught soon. He doesn't belong on the streets
Might I suggest starting first with running that Ohio license plate he has on there?  Also, I wonder if he can get a ticket for not having a county sticker on the plate (I'm a former Ohio resident).
@OSUx2 Thanks for the heads up on the Oh-Hi-Oh plate. I thought it looked like a diplomatic plate.
The county sticker would probably not be a violation in Oregon. I think he has a whole lot of bigger problems. Hmmm, wonder if the police thought to run the plate? Pretty much think so......
@Brownknight True on the county sticker. IDK - we are talking the PPD on the running the plate thing...lol.
He's really got it waiting for him. Hit and run, attempted murder, assault with deadly weapon...Man, he's so screwed he'd be better off, offing himself.
 @disgustedman Naw, we want him alive so he can pay money back for the rest of his life to her.
Hope she recovers quickly. Great thinking on her part. KATU, can you blow this photo up a little better. No one needs to see the foliage and pavement.
Thanks KATU. Much better!
 @Brownknight Good point. A new, tighter cropped photo is now on the story.
