Deputies searched a Wood Village neighborhood late last night after a reckless driver and passenger eluded deputies. The Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help.

Just before 11:00 p.m. on Monday, March 3, 2025, a Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) deputy tried to pull over a reckless driver in Wood Village. The driver suddenly stopped in front of the Wood Village Green Mobile Home Park in the 23000 block of NE Arata Road. A female passenger got out of the car, fired a single shot into the ground, and then ran into the mobile home park. The driver sped away and eventually got onto I-84. Deputies decided not to chase the vehicle.

Deputies set up a perimeter around the mobile home park and found about more than a thousand dollars in cash near the entrance. MCSO deputies, with help from Gresham Police Department (GPD) officers, GPD drone operators, and the East Metro SWAT team, searched the area for about four hours. Despite the large effort, they were unable to find the suspect. The search was eventually called off.

The investigation is still ongoing. MCSO is asking anyone with information about the identities of the suspects to call 503-988-0560 or email tips@mcso.us. Particularly, MCSO would like to ask residents to report any suspicious or out-of-the-ordinary activity overnight and to review any home security cameras.
