The Incident

Charlton was seen grabbing bags from the car before running from the crash scene.
Officer Shropshire and Gresham Officer Michael Brooder were working a partner car nearby and quickly located Charlton in the 18900 block of NE Couch Ln.
Officers Brooder and Shropsire attempted to contact Charlton as he continued east on NE couch. Gresham Officer John Heer joined them.

Charlton was wanted for a federal parole violation warrant, coming from a 1999 bank robbery that he served 13 years in prison for. He is currently faxing two counts of aggravated attempt murder, with additional charges coming.
