Sheriff's Office Recovers Revolver After Car Chase On Highway 224

ESTACADA, OR — Clackamas County Sheriff's officials on Thursday released dramatic footage of a roll-over car crash following a police pursuit on Highway 224 south of Estacada last Tuesday. Two people received minor injuries in the incident.

Francisco Javier Ortiz Jr., 22, and Chelsea Carillo Grey, 19, were reportedly drinking beer and shooting a revolver toward the highway while loitering at the PGE Faraday Substation in the 33000-block of Southeast Faraday Road around 11 p.m. on May 23. When Clackamas County deputies arrived on scene, the pair jumped in their Car2Go ride-share Mercedes sedan and took off heading south on Highway 224.

During the chase, deputies saw an object — later identified as the handgun — thrown from the moving vehicle, police said.

About 20 minutes after the chase began, as the pair approached Milepost 47, the vehicle lost control out of a corner and rolled onto its roof, police said.

County K9 Vito later recovered the tossed revolver in the road and the revolver's cylinder in some tall grass.
