ALOHA, Ore. - A Portland Police Bureau officer working as part of a multi-agency task force fired at least one shot at a wanted suspect during a raid in Aloha on Tuesday afternoon.
The suspect then ended up diving out a closed third story window and landing on dirt below as he tried to get away, police said.
A spokesman said the Portland officer was working with the U.S. Marshal's fugitive task force tracking down a man wanted in a strangulation case out of Beaverton from the weekend.
Members of the task force said they were trying to arrest 25-year-old Michael Anthony Tate who was
at an apartment on Southwest Rosa Road in Aloha. They had had the apartment under surveillance since Tuesday morning, police said and at about noon they had confirmation that Tate was inside.
During the raid, officers entered the apartment and the Portland officer fired at least one time.
"The individual they were looking for dove out of the window and landed out on the dirt," said Sgt. Bob Ray with the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
Tate was taken to Oregon Health and Science University, although we don’t know if he was shot, injured during the fall or was otherwise hurt.
Neighbor Jeannette Ryan said she heard glass crashing and officers yell "stay down, don't move."
Tate had an outstanding warrant for a probation violation.
He was arrested Aug. 2 and spent 11 days in jail, but he was released eight days ago. Six days ago police said was when he tried to strangle a woman in Beaverton. Police said he was also wanted for crimes associated with the Beaverton incident that included second-degree felony assault, strangulation and menacing.
Tate has a history of felony assaults: One in 2004 and another in 2007. He served five years locked up for the 2007 assault and had just gotten out of the Oregon State Prison in October.

guy watched too many movies were the stunt man jumps through the window and runs off. of course what this guy doesn't know is that the stunt man jumps through sugar glass and lands on an air bag.Â
DROP ship him by air back south
To bad he didn't dive head first.
To bad the dirtbag survived the fall, now we the people get to pay for his room and board for the next several years. This guy is an obvous carreer criminal cant we just shoot him and be done with it?
Guy has a anger management problem see you in 2022 Michael Tate...if your lucky
Here is another oxygen thief! Time to flush!
shootings are only bad when the wrong people get shot. This dirtbag no one will care about. Suggestion for criminals, dont cause the police to shoot at you and you wont have to invest in decent health insurance....
I wonder if PPB rules apply to them when they are out of jurisdiction?
 @portlandborn83 You mean their shoot first policy. lol.... i'm just kidding. The PPB has been doing A LOT better.
 @portlandborn83 This was part of a "multi-agency task force"  Also, any L.E. officer in the state of Oregon has jurisdiction through out the state of  Oregon.  If a PPB officer was in a marked patrol car driving down I-5 from salem..lets say coming from some training.... and he/she saw a violation on the road they have the right to stop that vehicle, but would need a state trooper or nearby agency to issue the citation.
@PD1202 @portlandborn83

Sorry- You almost have it right. Any certified law enforcement officer in Oregon has legal jurisdiction throughout the state. They don't have to call OSP or a nearby agency to issue a citation.
 @Ikewasright  @PD1202Â
What I meant is that they would need to know what court date and court to issue it to....that's why they would need another officer to get that info.....sorry I didn't elaborate more.
The key is to get the right court, date and time for the issuance of a citation!
 @PD1202 Any officer can issue a citation anywhere in the state. The only thing that matters is which court the violator is cited into. Any officer outside of their patrol area would cite into the Counties Circuit Court.
 @PD1202 Ha ha...I thought you just meant, "Can we have the local cops gun 'em down, rather than chase 'em down!"
 @nightingale That's what I meant by my comment....I didn't word it right....thanks for pointing that out.
Yup!
When are these idiots going to realize that you can run, but can't hide for very long?Â
 @jallard That hasn't worked out too well from Bonnie & Clyde days. Why expect them to be any smarter now? Besides, it's not like he's had the benefit of being a US grade-schooler who gets to meet Officer Friendly in class.

No doubt. Perhaps this Clyde needs a lesson in the "Three Strike Law," along with permanent housing in OSP.
More shootings from the trigger happy PPB. No shock there. Funny how all the other agencies can keep from shooting people.
are you representing mr tate in his defense trial and subsequent suit against the ppb?
 @molotovmouse Wow, way to go off half-cocked (pun intended). Can't you wait to hear the circumstances before passing judgement?
I think molotovmouse is a PPB phob.
