Man arrested after allegedly shooting at ex-girlfriend

Marion County deputies arrested Evan Anderson, 35, on Sunday morning after he allegedly drove to his ex-girlfriend's home in Jefferson, kicked in her door and fired his gun twice, once into the ceiling and once into the floor.

Neither she nor her new boyfriend were injured, said Sgt. Chris Baldridge.

After Anderson left, the victim's mother, who lives nearby, learned what happened and drove to Anderson's Millersburg residence to confront him, Baldridge said. After Anderson rammed his truck into her car, police were called.

Oregon State Police troopers arrested Anderson on Enchanted Way SE, near Interstate 5. Anderson's 14-month-old son, whom detectives believe was with him the entire time, was taken by DHS and placed with family members.

The Marion County Sheriff's Office will not be releasing the names of the victim, witnesses or Anderson's child because of the nature of the crimes committed.

Anderson was charged with burglary, menacing and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Additional charges may be added later, Baldridge said.

Anderson is being held at the Marion County Jail and will be arraigned Monday.

Court records show Anderson has a long criminal history.

Since 2000, he has been charged with (among other things): possession of methamphetamine, domestic assault, robbery, burglary, illegal gun possession, menacing, harassment, possession of a stolen vehicle, eluding a police officer and recklessly endangering another person.
