Pompella had gotten out of a Ford F150 and “physically assaulted” the unnamed man and then retreated to his pickup.

The men yelled at each other and the unnamed man threw a rock a Pompella’s truck, according to deputies.

Pompella then got back out of his truck and fired a handgun at the other man, deputies said. The other man was unhurt and Pompella drove away.

According to the unnamed man, the two of them had a “disagreement” earlier in the day, deputies said.

After interviewing the unnamed man, deputies responded to Pompella’s nearby home.

Pompella refused to leave his house, so tactical and negotiation units were called to the scene.

At about 10:30 p.m., Pompella left his house and was taken into custody without incident.

Pompella was booked into the Clackamas County Jail where his charges include second-degree attempted assault and unlawful use of a weapon.
