A Portland police officer went to the Vancouver apartment of his estranged wife and allegedly pointed a gun at her new boyfriend and threatened to kill him, according to court documents.

James Botaitis, 38, of Yacolt made his first appearance Tuesday morning in Clark County Superior Court on suspicion of second-degree assault, first-degree burglary and felony harassment.

Judge Scott Collier set bail at $100,000 and scheduled an arraignment hearing for Friday.

Defense attorney Tom Phelan said Botaitis, a 10-year veteran police officer, planned to post bond.

Botaitis was arrested 6 p.m. Monday by Vancouver police officers following a domestic disturbance at his wife’s apartment in the 900 block of Southeast 136th Avenue.

The couple are in the process of divorcing, according to court documents.

According to court documents, Botaitis first knocked on the door. After his wife, Danielle Botaitis, answered, the defendant asked if someone else was there. She told him it was none of his business. Then, James Botaitis allegedly barged into her apartment with a pistol and went to the bedroom, finding her new boyfriend there.
