Not my pants…

At approximately 2:30 a.m. this morning, a Beaverton police officer contacted a man near the intersection of Greenway Boulevard and Hall Boulevard after observing him commit a pedestrian violation.

During the contact, the officer explained the violation and discussed the safety concerns associated with it. After the officer inquired about the man’s identity, the man provided a false name to the officer.

Officers quickly determined the information was not accurate and arrested the man for providing false information to a police officer.

Before placing the suspect in a patrol vehicle, officers conducted a search and located suspected methamphetamine in the suspects right front pants pocket.

The suspect immediately claimed the methamphetamine did not belong to him and stated that he had found the pants he was wearing.

While most people are honest during police contacts, officers are routinely confronted with false information during criminal investigations. In this case, neither changed the outcome.

What began as a pedestrian stop ended with an arrest and the seizure of illegal drugs. The suspect was charged with unlawful possession of methamphetamine and providing false information to a police officer. The suspect also had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. He was lodged at the Washington County Jail.

⚠️Close Call⚠️

Early Sunday morning, officers were investigating a DUII crash on Highway 26 that sent a motorcycle rider to the hospital. The highway had been shut down, and multiple police and ODOT vehicles were blocking traffic to protect first responders and the people involved in the crash.

Despite the closure, a second impaired driver drove around the traffic control points and emergency vehicles, entering the closed crash scene and nearly striking a Beaverton police officer who was conducting the crash investigation.

The driver, an adult male, was arrested for DUII. Investigators determined alcohol and ma*****na were contributing factors.

This incident is a reminder that every traffic stop, crash investigation, and roadside contact carries significant risk for the our police officers who are working to keep our community safe.

When you see emergency vehicles, tow trucks, or road crews on the roadway:

• Slow down
• Move over when it is safe and legal to do so
• Follow traffic control directions
• And of course, never drive impaired

Driving under the influence doesn’t just put your life at risk, it endangers passengers, other motorists, road workers, and first responders who are simply doing their jobs.

Thankfully, no one was injured in this incident. The outcome could have been much different.

Drive sober. Stay alert. Move over. Lives depend on it.

Today, detectives with the Beaverton Police Department followed up on information provided by community members and the Oregon Department of Justice regarding investigations into the unlawful possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

This is a difficult topic for many people to discuss, but it is a very real issue with very real victims. Every image and video depicts the abuse and exploitation of a child. Those victims deserve investigators who are willing to pursue these cases, identify offenders, and work to stop the continued victimization of children.

Investigating these crimes is one of the ways law enforcement can disrupt the circulation of child sexual abuse material and hold those responsible accountable.

As a result of today’s enforcement efforts, detectives made contact in five separate investigations, seized multiple electronic devices, and developed evidence leading to three ongoing felony criminal cases.

The Beaverton Police Department remains committed to protecting children and working with our law enforcement partners to investigate these crimes and support victims.

If you have information regarding the exploitation of children, report it to law enforcement or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Ride Safely This Summer

Oregon’s new e-bike law (HB 4007) is now in effect, and we’re seeing growing confusion about what is and is not an electric bicycle.

Many electric-powered bikes ridden in our community are legal e-bikes. Others are electric motorcycles or other motorized vehicles that do not meet Oregon’s legal definition of an e-bike.

The difference matters.

Vehicles that exceed Oregon’s e-bike standards have different rules, restrictions, and requirements for operation on public roads, bike paths, sidewalks, school property, and parks.

Before purchasing or riding an electric-powered bike, take a moment to learn the difference between a legal e-bike and a vehicle that falls into another category.

Ride smart. Ride safely. Wear a helmet.

On Thursday, May 28, 2026, at approximately 2:18 a.m., officers with the Beaverton Police Department responded to multiple reports of gunfire at the Monte Vista Apartments located at 14848 SW Scholls Ferry Road, Beaverton, Oregon.

Multiple callers reported hearing gunshots in rapid succession outside one of the apartment buildings.

Additional callers advised a gray sedan was seen leaving the area immediately after the shooting.

Responding officers located shell casings in the parking lot and discovered a nearby vehicle had been struck by gunfire.

At the time of the shooting two adult males were seated in the targeted vehicle. Neither of the men were hit by the gunfire and no injuries were reported.

During the investigation, officers identified the suspect as Karl Armstrong Jr., 51, of Beaverton. Officers located Armstrong a short distance from the scene and took him into custody without incident. Investigators later recovered a firearm believed to be used in the incident.

Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from an ongoing dispute involving individuals connected to the apartment complex.

Armstrong was lodged at the Washington County Jail on charges of Attempted Murder, Attempted Assault 1, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and Unlawful Use of a Weapon.

Anyone with information related to this case is asked to contact the Beaverton Police Department at 503-526-2280 and reference case number 26-1480086.

Beaverton Police Investigate Fraud Attempt Involving Counterfeit Rolex Watches

On April 29, 2026, at approximately 2:35 p.m., Beaverton Police officers responded to a report of a fraud in progress at Capital Pawn, located in the 12000 block of SW Canyon Road.

Officers were advised that individuals were attempting to sell a counterfeit Rolex watch to the business. Employees reported the same suspects had successfully sold a fake Rolex to a similar business in Portland the previous day.

The investigation determined the suspects were involved in an ongoing scheme targeting pawn shops and similar businesses by attempting to sell counterfeit high-end watches as authentic items.

Arrested and charged in this case are 23-year-old Destiny Villalpando of Moreno Valley, California; 21-year-old Christopher Rosales of Los Angeles, California; and 23-year-old Isaac R. Hernandez of Chino, California.

All three were taken into custody on fraud-related charges and transported to the Beaverton Police Department. Charges are being referred to the Washington County District Attorney’s Office.

Investigators seized $20,373 from the suspects in this case. The money is believed to be proceeds from the fraudulent activity.

This remains an active investigation. Detectives are working to determine whether additional businesses in the region may have been targeted or victimized.

Anyone with information related to this case, or who believes they may have been a victim of a similar fraud, is encouraged to contact the Beaverton Police Department.

Media Release: Drone as First Responder Program Testing in Washington County

On Friday, February 20, 2026, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office will begin a trial using the Drone as First Responder (DFR) program. DFR uses cutting-edge technology to quickly gather information and relay it to responding patrol deputies via a dedicated control station.

A designated pilot in command (PIC) can remotely control the Skydio X10 drones used as DFRs. Each PIC holds a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) license, and Skydio trained each pilot in the specific use of the X10 drone.

To better support call volume, the Skydio X10 drones’ secure charging bases (docks) will be based in Aloha. During the trial period, DFR may be seen in the Aloha area, recognizable by their red and blue emergency lights, and operate at a lower elevation of about 200 ft or less due to FAA regulations. A PIC can deploy a DFR to police calls where exigency necessitates a quick response.

PICs strictly adhere to the Oregon Revised Statutes when deploying drones as a valuable tool for gathering evidence. Current Sheriff’s Office policy and procedures guide the drone pilots in the deployment of drones in the field and through DFR.

The privacy of our community members is paramount, and drones cannot be used to establish probable cause or reasonable suspicion of a crime, even if that crime was committed in view of the pilot during a training flight.

Sheriff Caprice Massey expressed her deep appreciation for the program and its impact on public safety - “In 2025 alone, our interagency drone team deployed nearly 650 times. That means 650 moments when we were able to assess danger more quickly, provide real-time information to deputies, and protect both our community members and first responders. Programs like Drone as First Responder allow us to see more, know more, and respond smarter — ultimately saving time, resources, and potentially lives. We will continue leveraging technology to meet the growing demand for service in innovative and responsible ways.”

Following the trial period, Sheriff’s Office leadership will conduct a comprehensive review of deployment data, response times, and operational outcomes to evaluate the program’s effectiveness. Based on those findings, the agency will determine whether to expand coverage to additional areas of the County through a longer-term partnership with Skydio. Additional information will be shared after the evaluation is complete.

Thank you for supporting the Washington County Sheriff's Office and for our continued efforts to make our community safer.
