MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. — Two people were arrested Monday morning after the driver of a stolen vehicle allegedly rammed a Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office patrol SUV and attempted to flee deputies near Interstate 84.
According to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, the investigation began around 10 a.m. on May 25, 2026, when a community member called 911 requesting a welfare check in the 23300 block of Northeast Halsey Street. The caller reported seeing two people who appeared to be passed out inside a vehicle parked in a designated accessible parking space.
Deputies responded to the scene and positioned their patrol vehicles behind the car, which was later confirmed to be stolen. Authorities said the situation escalated almost immediately when the driver started the vehicle and deliberately rammed a patrol SUV while also striking several parked vehicles in an attempt to escape.
Investigators identified the driver as 23-year-old Angel Bourdage.
According to deputies, Bourdage drove eastbound on Northeast Halsey Street before turning north onto Northeast 238th Drive. Deputies then used a pre-authorized Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT) maneuver to stop the vehicle near Interstate 84.
After the maneuver, deputies said Bourdage exited the vehicle and fled on foot toward nearby railroad tracks while a 35-year-old female passenger remained inside the car. Deputies reported seeing Bourdage wearing what appeared to be a tactical vest with a holster as he ran from the scene.
Authorities later recovered an airsoft gun from inside the stolen vehicle.
Deputies, assisted by officers from the Gresham Police Department, established a perimeter in the area. Bourdage was eventually located and taken into custody without further incident.
No injuries were reported.
Bourdage was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on multiple charges, including an outstanding warrant. The female passenger was also booked into jail.
Officials said no additional information was immediately available as the investigation remains ongoing.
The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office noted that all charges are allegations and those arrested are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
