Shot Fired At Alleged Metal Thief
A man wanted for methamphetamine possession was caught Wednesday morning allegedly stealing metal from an auto salvage yard.
\
he owner of U-Pull-It says he caught 29-year-old Neal Anthony Lee stealing, fired a shot into the ground and chased him across the highway. Clackamas County deputies say they found Lee a short while later hiding behind a tree and covered in grease.
"There's not any car part out here that's worth a life, but I'm gonna let them know that I'm here and that I mean business. I'm not here to support their habit," owner Ron Barber told KOIN News 6.
Lee was arrested for burglary and an outstanding warrant in Multnomah County for meth possession. He's expected Thursday in court.
Barber says he plans to install an electric fence.
