Distraught Spokane man with gun arrested in Oregon

Police in Bend, Oregon, said they are trying to figure out why a 32-year-old Spokane man was in a northwest Bend neighborhood early Saturday, shining a flashlight at homes, yelling and screaming and damaging fences. Officers said he resisted arrest and was carrying a concealed handgun and several loaded magazines, KTVZ reported. Police responded around 4:10 a.m. to a complaint of an intoxicated man with a flashlight, yelling and screaming and damaging fences, Bend police Sgt. Elizabeth Lawrence said. A second caller advised the man, wearing dark clothing, was near their home, pacing up and down the street with a flashlight, Lawrence told KTVZ. Officers contacted the man, identified as Vitaliy V. Ivanov, in the 1600 block of Awbrey Road as he illuminated a home with a handgun light that was not attached to a weapon, the sergeant said. Lawrence said Ivanov resisted arrest as he was taken into custody on a criminal mischief charge, and he was found to have a concealed semi-automatic handgun, along with four loaded magazines. Later, two more loaded magazines and a can of pepper spray were found in the landscaping near where Ivanov was arrested, police said. Ivanov was booked into the Deschutes County Jail on charges of unlawful possession of a weapon, two counts of second-degree criminal mischief and resisting arrest. He remained held late Saturday on $20,000 bail. In late April 2010, Ivanov was arrested in Spokane when police said he was driving under the influence of intoxicants and failed to negotiate a corner, crashing into the landscaping of a home. Washington State Police troopers said Ivanov was driving a yellow Hummer erratically, and there was a high-speed chase through downtown Spokane. The Hummer was totaled when he hit a large boulder in a yard going 60 mph. A passenger was injured but refused medical treatment. Ivanov was arrested on charges of vehicular assault, reckless driving, attempting to elude a police officer and resisting arrest.
