Portland man wanted in Washington state arrested after Clackamas County standoff

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A Portland man wanted on an active warrant in Washington state was arrested after a nearly five hours long standoff in unincorporated Clackamas County, according to authorities.

Taylor David Martello was taken to Clackamas County Jail on charges of violation of restraining order, possession of a stolen vehicle, and first-degree criminal trespass in Clackamas County, in addition to the warrant charges he faces in Washington state.

Deputies with the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office responded to a trespass report at a home on Southeast Aldercrest Road in unincorporated Clackamas County just after 12 p.m. on Friday after a caller said the house was vacant and no one was supposed to be there, according to officials.

Officials said the caller also believed the person inside the home was also a relative who the caller said may have had a warrant out for his arrest.

When deputies arrived at the home, they spotted a stolen 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe in front of the residence and were able to identify the man inside as 38-year-old Martello, according to CCSO.

Martello allegedly refused to leave the house, and deputies called in the Clackamas County Interagency SWAT and Crisis Negotiations Team to help contain the situation just after 2 p.m., authorities said.

Eventually, a member of the crisis negotiation team got Mortello to surrender, and Mortello was taken into custody around 4:45 p.m. Friday.

No injuries were reported during the standoff.

Officials say the charges Mortello faces in Washington include escape from community custody, second-degree assault and strangulation.

Anyone else with information about the incident is asked to contact the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.
