SALEM, OR (KPTV) — A 27-year-old man was arrested Monday night after police say he locked himself in a gas station bathroom and threatened officers.
Police were called out to the AM/PM, located in the 2900 block of Market Street Northeast, at around 9:20 p.m.
According to police, Justin Goodenough had locked himself in a bathroom, refused to come out and began destroying the fixtures inside. He also told officers that he was armed and made threats to harm officers if they tried to take him into custody.
A crisis negotiator was called to the scene and tried to negotiate with Goodenough for over an hour.
Police said a tactical plan was implemented after negotiations failed.
After officers used a flash-sound-distraction device at the entrance of the bathroom, Goodenough exited and surrendered.
Goodenough was booked into the Marion County Correctional Facility on charges of first-degree attempted arson, first-degree criminal mischief, second-degree trespass and interfering with a peace officer.
Police said Goodenough was treated for minor injuries he sustained while destroying the bathroom.
