PORTLAND — Authorities say a 39-year-old man was arrested after officers who noticed him monitoring a Portland police precinct found weapons and ammunition in his vehicle.
Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson says Eric Crowl was arrested Sunday on charges of attempted assault, unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm
According to Simpson, Crowl had been watching and filming officers at the precinct since April and considers himself a “Constitutionalist.”
On Sunday afternoon, an East Precinct sergeant asked an on-duty officer to speak with Crowl. The man who has a police scanner quickly drove away, but returned later to continue conducting surveillance.
