Police hope newly released surveillance video will help them identify two men who robbed a southeast Portland tavern at gunpoint.It was one hour before closing time at Ship's Ahoy Tavern on Southeast Gladstone Street when the robbers barged into the pub on May 14. In a matter of seconds, the atmosphere inside the tavern drastically changed."This is a really quiet, really nice neighborhood with lots of great families," said Anna Hassenpflug, the manager of the tavern. "So it was pretty shocking."Two men, one armed with a rifle and the other with a handgun, stormed inside and ordered everyone to kneel on the ground. The robbers split up -- one heading for the cash register and the other demanding customers hand over their wallets."They had them put all their wallets on the table," Hassenpflug said.The men stole the customers' belongings and money and then left just as quickly as they barged in.The robbers wore bandanas over their faces and surgical gloves on their hands, leaving police with few leads.Hassenpflug said she considers herself lucky because she wasn't working when the tavern was robbed. After studying the surveillance video, she believes it's not the first time the men have been at the tavern."It seemed like they knew the tavern very well. They knew where we put our money, what registers they were in, were everything was," Hassenpflug said. "(They knew) how to get in and out pretty easily."The robbers are described as Hispanic men in their 20s. They both wore light-colored hooded sweatshirts and jeans, in addition to the bandanas and gloves.A $1,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest in the case.

The boys tried to carjack a 22-year-old woman who was in her family's SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) waiting for her parents in a church parking lot, according to a police statement. Ami Garrett, of southeast Portland, told officers that when the boys approached her, the younger boy told the older boy to "show her your piece (US slang for gun)." The woman said that when she refused to give them her vehicle, they demanded cash and her phone. "Then he said it was fully loaded and cocked and ready to go, told me he was going to blow my brains out if I didn't give him something," a visibly shaken Garrett said. She said that as she drove away, she saw the 11-year-old boy pull a gun from his pocket. The boys were apprehended in the parking lot by officers responding to reports of children with guns. Police said they recovered a loaded .22 calibre handgun from the older boy's pockets. Detectives were investigating how the boys obtained a gun. Because of their age, the boys could not be taken into custody at a juvenile detention centre, so they were returned to their families, police said. Police planned to put the case before a juvenile court.

THE WOUNDED MAN LATER WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE HOME.LAW-ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS DID NOT IDENTIFY THE VICTIM OR HIS COMPANION.THEY ALSO WOULD NOT SAY WHERE THEY LIVED IN FLORIDA, PENDING NOTIFICATION OF RELATIVES.THE COMPANION WAS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT.

The Washman Carwash bills itself as "brushless and environmentally friendly."But what's an employee to do when a masked robber confronts him in broad daylight, armed with a handgun, and demands money?Chris B. Truax, a 25-year-old worker at the carwash off Northeast 81st Avenue, reacted quickly and stayed true to his business's motto.He rebuffed the robber with a high-intensity power washer, sending the suspect running from the spray of a lukewarm water and soap mixture.Portland Police BureauChris B. Truax is seen in a surveillance image employing a carwash wand against a would-be robber. Police are seeking the robber, who was wearing a skeleton mask at the time."It had to hurt. I promise you that," said Jason Marsh, Truax's assistant manager at the Washman Carwash. "It was brilliant."Truax, clearly in the holiday mood wearing a bright-red Santa hat that mid-December morning, had opened the cash register at the gunman's demand. But when ordered to fill the robber's bag with the cash, Truax said, he stepped back with his hands in the air and boldly replied, "I'm not touching that money ... it's all you."As the suspect, whose face was concealed with a skeleton mask, reached into the till to grab the bills, Truax reached down into a pail and pulled out the hand-held power washer wand."It was like a quick draw," Truax recalled Monday, saying he just instinctively reacted. "I wanted him away from me, that's all."He aimed it at the armed intruder as if he was holding a long-barrel rifle. Truax then sprayed the suspect in the face with full force, 2,000 pounds per square inch of pressure to be exact, sending him scurrying out of the business. The suspect ran off westbound on Northeast Everett Street, with no cash, and a heck of a shower."It's quite unusual," Portland Detective Chris Traynor said. "I think he saw he had an opportunity to score one for the good guys."Truax, described by his boss as "a little jumpy, of course" after the confrontation, got two paid days off from work."We were all very proud of him, that's for sure," said Dan Page, a co-worker. "It was just quick thinking on Chris' part."The confrontation Dec. 13 at 426 N.E. 81st Ave. began about 10:40 a.m. when the masked man, dressed all in black with a hood over his head, nonchalantly walked onto the carwash property and straight up to Truax, who was in an outside booth. The robber demanded, "Give me your money!" and pulled out what looked like a handgun from his waistband."As soon as he pulls it out," Truax said, "the gun broke."Truax told him he had no money, that the cash was in the booth in the tunnel. Truax saw the gun in pieces as the suspect tried to shove it back into his pocket. The suspect then raised his fist in the air toward Truax. Truax led the suspect to the tunnel booth, dialing 9-1-1 on his cell phone on the way, but he couldn't get through."I wasn't that scared anymore because I knew the gun was a fake, maybe an Airsoft pistol," Truax said. He seized the power washer when the suspect reached for the till and removed his hand from the pistol. "It was just an opportunity that sprung."Investigators pulled the business's surveillance videotape and were cracking up as they watched it. "They were laughing because this guy was holding the hose as a gun," said Officer Cathe Kent, a police spokeswoman.Detectives also were amazed that no one called 9-1-1 as the suspect, all in black and wearing a skeleton mask, walked along Northeast 82nd Avenue on a weekend morning. "If it's not Halloween," Traynor pleads with residents, "and you see someone walking around with a mask on, please feel free to call the police."Now, Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest. The suspect is described as in his 20s, 6 feet tall, 180 pounds, wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt, black pants and a white skeleton ski mask (though he may have removed it by now). The victim described the suspect as having dark eyes and unusually long, lanky arms.In the end, though, not everything worked out for the victim.Police found that Truax, a Gresham resident, was wanted on a 7-year-old warrant for driving under the influence of intoxicants and arrested him at work Sunday afternoon. When he was released from jail Monday night, Truax still was wearing his bright orange Washman winter hat, orange work shirt and blue Washman coat. Asked whether he was bummed about the arrest, he shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's about time I took care of it."
