A drugged-up, hallucinating man who broke into a Gresham apartment, barricaded the front door with furniture and set the unit on fire was sentenced Monday to more than seven years in prison.

Arsenio Lee Jumping Bull, 29, told police he had been using methamphetamine and cocaine on Feb. 2 and had started to hallucinate. Jumping Bull said he climbed up onto the roof of his sister's apartment complex at 4725 W. Powell Blvd., crawled down onto the balcony of another unit and broke a sliding glass door to get in. He used a lighter to set three fires inside.

Gresham police Officer Barry Ozeroff responded to a call about glass breaking at 1 a.m. Ozeroff arrived to discover heavy black smoke and flames coming from the unit.

Ozeroff and other officers tried to break down the unit’s front door but were unable to because it had been barricaded with furniture and a refrigerator, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Police saw Jumping Bull inside and ordered him to a window. He leapt out, falling about 15 feet. Firefighters accessed the burning apartment by entering a unit next door and breaking through the ceiling.

Jumping Bull told authorities that he used LSD and marijuana daily.

He was charged with multiple counts of first-degree arson and first-degree burglary in Multnomah County Circuit Court.

Monday he pleaded no contest to two counts of first-degree arson. He will be eligible for 20 percent off his prison sentence for good behavior.
