Gresham police seized 11 guns and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition from the home and car of a 19–year-old man they suspect fired his gun at another car after getting into a dispute over who should have yielded in a McDonald’s drive-thru line in June.
Officers booked Matteo Greene into the Multnomah County Detention Center in downtown Portland on suspicion of first-degree attempted assault, unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm on Tuesday, the same day police executed a search warrant of Greene’s home and car.
Just after midnight on June 25, Gresham police responded to a report from the driver of a Dodge Charger who said occupants of a white Ford Fusion fired on him twice. It happened, he said, after he drove to the McDonald’s on Northeast Burnside Street to help his friend, who had been in the drive-thru with children when the occupants of the Fusion tried to cut him off. That led to an argument.
The Fusion allegedly followed the Charger and Greene, the passenger in the Fusion, allegedly fired at the Charger twice, striking it once, a probable cause affidavit says.
No one was injured in the shooting, Gresham police said in a statement Wednesday.
