PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland police officers say a suspect fell more or less into their hands — through the ceiling onto the living room floor.
Officers were called Monday to a house to deal with an intoxicated man reported threatening relatives.
They found that everybody had left, the man had barricaded himself in the attic, and he wasn’t so great a threat.
It wasn’t, says police Lt. Robert King, a situation where officers judged the threat to be worth the risk of gunplay in an attic.
