Police: Suspect intentionally rammed police car with SUV
PORTLAND, Ore. – Police are looking for a driver who they said intentionally rammed a police car with his SUV in a Southwest Portland parking garage Friday night.
Officers noticed drugs in an SUV during a confrontation with two men in the Safeway store garage, located at 1010 SW Jefferson St. just before 11 p.m., police said.
The driver grabbed on to one of the officers as he started the SUV, police said. Another officer pulled the 17-year-old passenger out of the SUV.
The driver accelerated when the officer pulled away from his grip, hitting several vehicles and poles in the garage, including the passenger side of the police car.
Police said one officer was in the driver’s seat and the 17-year-old was in the back of the police car when it was hit.
No one was hurt.
The suspect is described as a Native American in his late 30s. Police said he is 6’2’’ tall, weighs 220 pounds, has brown eyes and short, buzzed black hair.
The SUV is a teal late 1990s model Ford Explorer with heavy damage to the front, rear and driver’s side. Several windows were broken out, police said.
Anyone who sees the SUV is asked to call 9-1-1.

So they know about how old he is, his exact height and weight (even though he was sitting in an SUV) - so logic infers they know who he is. Â And where he lives.
@Gozirra Izroose his 17 yo passenger probably threw him under the bus. Thats what friends do when the going gets tough.

taht Id could fit any number of vehicles on a native American Reservation, or any junk yard for that matter..
I bet he's already back on the reservation. Out of the reach of our "white man" law.
Awesome... way to show those police state terrorists where they can stuff thier war on the people.
 @2easy2berightback You should really learn how to spell.Â
Is anyone else having trouble understanding WTH happened? Who writes these reports online? Does anyone proof read? *facepalm*
@Liberty4_WA I agree. It sounds like they MIGHT have a 17 yo in custody, but who knows? "Another officer pulled the 17-year-old passenger out of the SUV." Maybe he will do like most and throw his friend under the bus.
 @Liberty4_WA This happens more on the weekends, I think they have chimps writing their news copy. But you know, even during the week days I suspect the people who write this stuff are just flirting with literacy... not actually intimate with it.
