On October 19, 2007, Troy Mott was identified as allegedly firing a handgun multiple times at two female associates at a North Portland residence. Later that day, Mott was observed by a Portland Police officer and, after a traffic pursuit, Troy Mott was arrested. Mott was lodged in the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges of Attempted Murder, Attempted Assault in the First Degree, Assault in the Second Degree, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Attempt to Elude in a Vehicle, and Reckless Driving.

After being released on bail, a warrant for arrest was issued for Troy Mott on November 20, 2007. After contacting numerous family members, a Portland Police Bureau detective assigned to the U.S. Marshals Oregon Fugitive Task Force received a call from Troy Mott who said, “If the Marshals are after me this is serious and I am going to turn myself in.” Mott proved he was not a man of his word as U.S. Marshals in Nevada arrested him today as he left a Las Vegas residence. Mott will appear in court in Nevada for further removal to the state of Oregon.

During a search warrant following his initial arrest, the Portland Police Bureau Gang Enforcement Team (GET) found a ballistic vest believed to belong to Troy Mott. The U.S. Marshals Oregon Fugitive Task Force is comprised of investigators from the U.S. Marshals Service, Portland Police Bureau, Oregon State Police, Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Multnomah County Probation & Parole, Clackamas County Probation & Parole, and the Oregon National Guard.
