While attempting to keep several goats contained to a grassy area as we waited for the owner to respond, I was forced to shoot one of them to keep him from attacking me. The owner of the goats responded and took the deceased goat home. Clear N/A Report for information only. NARRATIVE: On 08-06-17 at approximately 0911H, I responded to the area of NW Catalpa St. / NW Woodrush Way Portland, OR 97229 to assist Deputy Pope and Deputy Auth on an animal complaint call. An area resident reported that there were several goats and sheep that were wandering through the neighborhood. I know from my experience that this is a new housing development that backs up to farmland on NW Germantown Rd. I arrived in the area at approximately 0918H. Deputy Pope was attempting to track down the owner of the goats on NW Germantown Rd., and Deputy Auth was keeping the animals corralled in a grassy area between several new homes under construction. I assisted Deputy Auth by walking around the perimeter of the grassy area where the animals were grazing. I counted a total of 6 goats and 5 sheep that had apparently escaped from a nearby farm. The goats would wander towards the edge of the grass looking like they wanted to escape towards the houses, then return to the grassy area. As we were corralling the animals, there were several people out walking around on the sidewalks where we SupvNotified: Sgt.

One of the goats wandered out of the grass and walked towards me as I was walking along the edge of the road. Deputy Auth went to his patrol car and sounded his air horn which caused the goat to temporarily retreat back into the grassy area. The goat did this several times, each time coming towards me more aggressively than before. As I was standing about 20-30 feet from the goat, I watched him get up on his hind legs and ram his horns into a tree that was planted in the parkway along the road. The goat was about 4 feet in height while standing on all 4 legs with horns that appeared to be about 18 inches long. I could see that the horns were very sharp. I walked along the road towards Deputy Auth’s patrol car as the goat started walking towards me again. I managed to maneuver around and get behind a metal light pole behind Deputy Auth’s patrol car as the goat was coming towards me. The goat rammed his horns into the light pole and came around the pole towards me again. I retreated backwards away from the goat as he continued towards me around Deputy Auth’s patrol car. The goat put his head down and approached me with his horns pointed towards my pelvic area. I grabbed a hold of one side of the horns and pushed him away from me. I could feel the strength of the goat as he brushed me off and came at me again. It appeared as though my pushing the goat away was making him more and more angry as he kept coming at me. I managed to push him away a couple more times by the horns, but this seemed to be making him more aggressive. I managed to get about 5 feet away from him and I could see that there was nothing behind him. I yelled to Deputy Auth that if he came at me again I was going to shoot him. The goat lowered his head and approached me yet again. I pulled my pistol out of the holster and fired one shot into the back his head near the base of his neck. This immediately caused the goat to stop and briefly fall to the ground. He then got up and slowly stumbled over to the grassy area. As he was stumbling back towards the grass, he was making loud screaming type noises. He flopped down on the ground briefly, and I walked over behind him. I could tell that he was struggling to get back up and appeared to be suffering. I shot him again in the side of the head, just below the eye. This caused more screaming and struggling, but did not kill him. I shot him again once more just above the shoulder, attempting to end his suffering, but my handgun rounds appeared to be ineffective on the large animal. Sgt. Bennett had arrived while the goat was still struggling to get up and wander around the field. Sgt. Bennett requested a Deputy with a rifle respond to our location to put the goat down. Deputy Hartle later responded. While we were waiting for Deputy Hartle to show up, Deputy Auth, Sgt. Bennett and I used our patrol cars to attempt to keep the injured goat from wandering off. We managed to corral him down into an area between 2 unoccupied houses that were under construction. Deputy Hartle was able to put the goat down with one shot from his rifle. The owner of the escaped goats and sheep, Matthew Minnick, had arrived and was briefed on what had taken place. Matthew stated that the development company that was building the homes had taken down his fence and put up a new one that wasn’t effective at keeping the animals from escaping. Sgt. Bennett gave Matthew a business card with his information. We then helped Matthew load the deceased goat into his truck. SupvNotified: Sgt.
