Felon, with eight guns, busted near Glenhaven Park

No driver’s license. Lots of guns found. But – same old story – he was released the same day that he was booked into jail!

In the Glenhaven Park parking lot, on the boundary between the Madison South and Roseway neighborhoods, an out-of-place-looking vehicle caught the attention of a Portland Police Bureau (PPB) East Precinct patrol sergeant on Wednesday, December 21, at 12:57 a.m.

That sergeant signaled for that car to stop, which it did near the intersection of NE Siskiyou Street and 81st Avenue.

“Upon further investigation, the sergeant learned the driver of the vehicle was operating it on a suspended license, and been driving without insurance,” a PPB spokesperson reported. “The sergeant gave the suspect a citation for Driving Uninsured and Driving While Suspended.”

During the resulting mandatory search of the car before it was towed, the sergeant discovered a total of eight (8) loaded handguns throughout the vehicle. In addition to the firearms, almost 200 rounds of ammunition and $1,240 in cash were found.
