Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office Arrests 23-Year-Old Man Accused Of Deliberately Ramming Patrol SUV With Stolen Car - 05/25/26
MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. – Deputies with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office have arrested two people after the driver of a stolen car is accused of deliberately ramming a patrol SUV.
This investigation began around 10 a.m. on Monday, May 25, 2026, when a community member called 911 to request a welfare check in the 23300 block of Northeast Halsey Street. The caller saw two people who appeared to be passed out in a car that was parked in a designated accessible parking space.
Deputies arrived and positioned their vehicles behind the stolen car. Almost immediately, the situation escalated with the driver of the car starting the engine and ramming a patrol vehicle and hitting several other parked vehicles to escape.
The driver, identified as 23-year-old Angel Bourdage, accelerated out of the parking lot and drove eastbound on Northeast Halsey Street, turning northbound on Northeast 238th Drive, where deputies executed a pre-authorized Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT) maneuver to stop the vehicle near Interstate 84.
Following the PIT maneuver, Bourdage got out of the car and started running toward the nearby railroad tracks, while the female passenger remained inside the vehicle. Deputies saw Bourdage running from the car wearing a “tactical vest” with a holster.
Deputies recovered an airsoft gun inside the car.
Deputies and officers from the Gresham Police Department set up a perimeter. Deputies caught up with Bourdage and took him into custody.
No injuries were reported.
Bourdage will be booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on multiple charges, including an outstanding warrant.
The passenger, a 35-year-old woman, will also be booked into jail.
No further information is available for release at this time.
Charges are only allegations, and every arrested person is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
ORS 133.870 generally prohibits the release of jail booking photos to the public unless it is determined that there is a law enforcement purpose.
The information contained in this news release is based on a preliminary review of the details available to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. As the investigation progresses, information may change.
