He keeps running.
Runs this way, Crabill's on him, like, like, mad.

We're gonna take him over to the jail for possession of the gun, stolen vehicle, resisting.

Why not? Why weren't you cooperating then? You think you were gonna get away still? I'm done talking.
No problem, man.
So you're gonna be charged with possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle, possession of a firearm that's not your own, possession of a stolen vehicle, resisting arrest, and we'll be taking you over to the jail.
So, this is the vehicle that was stolen.
Two weeks ago, it was used in a shooting out in Seaside.
So, we're gonna tow the car for evidence, and um, we're gonna have DOJ come out and look for evidence.
When we searched him, we found fully loaded revolver in his pants.
Not sure if it's used for that shooting.
- Okay.
- And, um we got the guy in custody, so we're gonna take him over to the jail and book him for the stolen vehicle and the gun that he has.
And we'll see if he was involved in that shooting as well.
Portland's got a great night life.
Lots of clubs, restaurants, food.
Uh, we encourage people to come down here.
When they come down here, we want them to be responsible, and, uh, have a good time, but, you know, behave themselves.
So, we're going to a fight with a knife, and it sounds like security's got the guy.
They're holding him down right now.

I broke his arms down.
The knife fell to the floor, and I restrained him and had somebody, one of the other people, call the, um the PD.
Uh, girlfriend was going crazy trying to hit me in the back of the head.

Okay, and you told the other officers that when they talked to you? - I did, yes.

I know, it's-- when they come out here, let them know what he's doing so they can put a stop to that.
All right? Obviously, that's gonna be an issue that these case workers, the people who run this house, that's something that they have to resolve.
All right? - Let's go.
- Hey.
I'm leaving for my cousin's.
- Okay.

Okay.
All right.
So you're that close of friends.
Okay.
- Yes.
Yeah, I mean-- - All right.
How often does he come over here and stay with you? I see him daily.
Sometimes two or three times.
He'll go to the store.
Just to make sure he's okay I'll make him come back here, check in with me to make sure he got back and forth and stuff like that.
Okay.
So when he's having-- Does he ever have issues over here? Yeah.
They've been to court a couple of times and stuff like that.
Okay.
Does he always call you? Yeah, he always called me, and he comes over here and cools off, and then they go back, but I guess it's the bigger gentleman.
Is that who it is over there? He's not denying that he was drinking, you know, I guess your cousin's milk, but, you know-- he's just-- I mean, he got fired up over it.
- Right.
Okay.
- So.
- And you're cool with him staying here for a little bit? - Yeah, he's fine.
- He's absolutely fine.
- For him to calm down.
We appreciate it.
Thanks for your help.
- No problem at all.
I'll take care of it.
- Thank you very much.
- Thanks.
- Have a good day.
Hopefully with the case workers coming out, they can, uh, solve this problem, and they can make a long-term solution for it.
And we don't have to come out here again.
I've got him at gunpoint.
Okay, gunpoint, 132 and Bush.
