PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man wanted for violating a no contact order against PPB Chief Danielle Outlaw surrendered Tuesday and was charged with 3 misdemeanors.

Eli Richey’s attorney entered a not guilty plea to the charges of violating a court’s stalking protective order for an incident that happened August 26.

Outlaw was granted the stalking protective order on December 22, 2017 against Richey, which prevented him from coming into visual or physical contact with the chief, talking with her in any way or by filming or posting videos of her.

But the arrest warrant said Chief Outlaw was at a public event outside Portland City Hall and took a group photo with 3 other people. She heard Richey’s voice and noticed he “was standing very close” to her.

Outlaw noticed Richey, 6-feet-5 and 210 pounds, was filming the event. Police obtained the video and found Richey “directed his camera at Chief Outlaw and recorded her.”

The affidavit said “the contact made her feel fearful and angry.”

Richey’s next court appearance is October 19.

Previous encounters with law enforcement

This is not the first time Eli Richey has been connected with filming police and trespassing. In July 2017, Richey and Robert West were accused of showing up at the homes of high-ranking members of the Portland police and the Multnomah County DA Rod Underhill.

Richey, prosecutors alleged at that time, appeared in front of the homes of former PPC Chief Mike Marshman, Underhill and PPB Lt. Leo Besner, who works at North Precinct.

“In one such encounter, Richey was observed cloaking his face in a ski mask type article of clothing,” according to court documents.

Then on July 21, 2017, Richey was arrested after attempting to video record what he believed was PPB Sgt. Pete Simpson’s home.

Video from the incident shows the person at the home “becoming highly alarmed by Richey’s presence in front of the residence to the point where physical violence was a likely,” court documents revealed.

Before that date, Richey was on pre-trial release for a July 4 incident. On that day, he allegedly took video and audio recording of a woman and her young children.
