Oregon City Man Who Fired Dozens of Shots Gets Six Months in Jail

A man who fired dozens of shots from his home into the homes of his neighbors will spend three more months in jail.

Steven Scholz of Oregon City pleaded guilty to unlawful use of a weapon, reckless endangering and criminal mischief.

The charges stem from an incident in March.

Scholz was arrested after firing nearly 36 shots from his home. Bullets flew into the homes of his neighbors, forcing them to seek cover.

No one was hurt.

School agrees to forfeit the 13 guns seized from his home and undergo alcohol, drug, and mental health evaluation and treatment.

His actual sentence was for six months but the judge gave him credit for time served.

He will then serve five years probation.

If Jones - who has no previous criminal history - violates his probation, he could find himself back in jail for years, the judge said.
