Milwaukie – OR At approximately 2:45 AM on 6/20/25 a Milwaukie Police Officer on patrol observed a vehicle traveling Westbound on SE Hwy 224 in Milwaukie. The Officer saw the driver weaving between the Westbound lanes of travel and initiated a traffic stop. The dark colored SUV stopped at the 11000 Block of SE Oak St. where the Officer contacted the male driver and a female passenger.
After identifying the driver, the Milwaukie Officer learned he had an active felony warrant and a cover Officer arrived. Due to the time of night, seriousness of the warrant offense and potential for escape, Officers placed a tire deflation device (spike strip) under the rear tires, positioning their patrol vehicles in front and back of the car to limit escape options.
Officers contacted the driver, identified as Loony John Franklin Toon, 42, of Portland. Toon did not exit the vehicle, placed the car in reverse hitting a Milwaukie Police vehicle. As the SUV drove out of the stop location it ran over the spike strips and sped out of the area on SE Hwy 224 reaching speeds of 80 mph.
Milwaukie Officers pursued the SUV West on SE Hwy 224 and North on SE 17th Ave. During the chase, the driver displayed a pistol out the window and fired multiple shots in the direction of the trailing Milwaukie Officers.
