Portland police have clarified the circumstances of an arrest Saturday involving a man reportedly firing a gun on a rooftop.

Police on Sunday said Eben David Eubanks, 30, was firing a BB gun at "fixed objects" on the roof of an apartment building.

"For clarification, Eubanks was not firing the BB gun at or towards the street fair or any other persons," the bureau said.

On Saturday, police said they responded to the 900 block of Southeast 11th Avenue on a report that a man was pointing a rifle in different directions, toward a street fair and people.

Police said they found Eubanks on the roof holding the gun and a guitar.

But police, in announcing the arrest, incorrectly stated that Eubanks had a pellet gun. Police also stated that they determined Eubanks had fired it -- but authorities didn't specify where he was aiming.

Eubanks was booked into Multnomah County jail and released Saturday. He later resolved the matter by pleading no contest to a violation of code and paying a fine.
