DEPUTIES LOCATE FOUR RUNNING FROM CRASHED VEHICLE

Washington Co. Sheriff's Office

On Tuesday, December 30, 2025, at just before midnight, Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a report of four people breaking into parked cars near the 17000 block of NW Countryridge Drive in Portland. Before deputies arrived, the suspects left in a dark-colored sedan.

 

As deputies arrived in the area to search for the suspects, they encountered the dark-colored sedan. The driver of the sedan began trying to elude and accelerated southbound down NW Bethany Blvd, before crashing near NW Bronson Road.

 

Deputies arrived at the crash and saw four people running from the vehicle. Three were quickly apprehended and determined to be juveniles. The fourth continued running and was later located with the help of a Sheriff’s Office K9 (Puddles) and a caller who saw the subject hiding in their yard on a cellphone.

 

The fourth suspect, 18-year-old Jayden Collins of Portland, was identified as the driver and subsequently arrested. Deputies discovered that Collins was on the cellphone, calling the owner of the crashed vehicle and trying to convince them to falsely report it stolen.

Collins was taken to the Washington County Jail for the following:

• Attempting to elude in a vehicle
• Attempting to elude on foot
• Reckless driving
• Criminal conspiracy
• Criminal trespass in the second degree
