Portland Police Bureau IDs officers who shot, injured a 24-year-old robbery suspect during a shootout in Woodlawn. One of the officers is no stranger to using force. by Courtney Vaughn Body camera footage released Thursday shows the tense moments when three Portland police officers fired a combined 30 lethal rounds at a man outside a home in the Woodlawn neighborhood last month.  At 6:21 pm Sept. 26, detectives with Portland Police Bureau’s (PPB) Major Crimes Unit and officers from the Special Emergency Reaction Team (SERT) showed up to a house in the 7000 block of NE 17th to arrest a man identified as a suspect in a string of armed robberies, including a robbery earlier that day. Police said they believed the man, 24-year-old Jesse James West, was armed “with an AR-style rifle” and had access to another gun. Video footage depicts several officers in tactical gear arrive at the scene and use their SUVs to box in a silver sedan West appeared to be driving while trying to leave the scene. Almost immediately afterward, officers yell for West to put his hands up, at one point warning he could be attacked by a police K-9 waiting nearby. An officer then uses a less lethal launcher to break out the back window of West’s car. At that point, police say West fired six rounds at them and they immediately returned fire.  Video shows Officer Joshua Faris shoot 11 lethal rounds at West, as Officer Bret Emmons fires five rounds and Officer Matt Wells fires 14 lethal rounds at West as he appeared to crouch down in the car.  West was injured and taken to a hospital where he stayed in police custody until he was discharged and booked into jail on Oct. 7. Faris, Emmons, and Wells are all SERT members. The officers remain on administrative leave while the bureau investigates. The Sept. 26 incident was the fifth use of deadly force this year by PPB. The following week on Oct. 4, PPB fatally shot a man at a Southeast Portland apartment complex, marking the sixth shooting. Three of the six officer-involved shootings this year have been fatal. Police say they retrieved a handgun from Jesse James West's car after he was taken into custody.   portland police bureau PPB began outfitting officers with body cameras earlier this year. A history of high-profile incidents This isn’t the first time Officer Wells made headlines for a high-profile call. Wells, who’s been with PPB for 21 years, was a defendant in a lawsuit filed against the city in 2013 after he and other officers entered a couple’s apartment in 2011 while they slept, then tased the man who lived there for getting aggressive with police when they refused to leave right away.  According to that lawsuit, police responded to a domestic disturbance call about a couple arguing from someone in a neighboring apartment. When no one answered the door to the couple’s apartment after multiple knocks, police entered through an unlocked door and found the couple in bed. The man leapt up and yelled at police to get out, and was tased twice by Wells after he got combative. The man was arrested and charged with harassment and interfering with a peace officer. Wells was among five officers who responded to the scene.  Two years after that lawsuit, in 2015, Wells was again the subject of a court case stemming from a 2011 arrest when he retrieved a bag of cocaine from a man’s body after a strip search in a manner that was deemed an invasion of the man’s personal privacy. The Oregon Court of Appeals ruled Wells’ actions were so invasive, his drug conviction had to be overturned. In an older case from 2008, Officer Faris was among the officers who arrested a man mistaken for a graffiti tagger in what the arrestee described as an ambush style detainment that left him badly injured. Faris has worked for PPB for the past 23 years. The Sept. 26 use of deadly force is being reviewed internally by the bureau and will also be reviewed by the Police Review Board.
