Jeep Chase Ends With Gunfire | Portland News
Description
A wild chase erupted in Lincoln County, Oregon, when a deputy tried to pull over a Jeep Wrangler for reckless driving — only to trigger a high-speed pursuit involving gunfire. The driver, 32-year-old Demar Soto, fired shots from his vehicle while evading police, even after being hit with spike strips. He sped through Waldport, waving a gun, before a deputy finally stopped him by ramming his patrol car into the Jeep. Soto was arrested, hospitalized, and faces multiple serious charges — including attempted assault and unlawful weapon use — all while no one was injured. A tense, adrenaline-fueled reminder of how quickly things can spiral on the road.
