Refuge occupier arrested in Grant Co. on weapons charge PORTLAND (AP) — A man who participated in the occupation of a national wildlife refuge in southeast Oregon was arrested after threatening to shoot law enforcement of¿cers earlier this week, a county prose- cutor said. A Grant County sheriff’s deputy arrested Scott Will- ingham at a motel in the small town of Mount Vernon after Willingham said that if he wasn’t jailed Wednesday, he would start shooting federal law enforcement of¿cers the next morning, District Attorney Jim Carpenter told The Oregonian. According to Carpenter, Willingham said during an arraignment Thursday that he’s awaiting arrest for his role in the standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County and, in the meantime, wanted to be jailed in neighboring Grant County. The sheriff in Grant County, Glenn Palmer, is under investigation after meeting twice with occupa- tion leaders in January. Gerri Badden, spokes- woman for the U.S. Attorney’s Of¿ce, told The Associated Press there were currently no federal charges against Willingham. In an interview with The Oregonian last month, the 49-year-old Willingham described himself as an unemployed musician who was part of the security team at the refuge. He said he left after Ammon Bundy and other leaders were arrested Jan. 26 and Robert “LaVoy” Finicum, 54, was shot to death as he attempted to elude police. In all, 24 people have been arrested. Willingham said he went to Nevada, but returned to the refuge in early February to help end the 41-day protest. The occupiers wanted the U.S. government to relinquish public lands to locals and free two ranchers who they say were wrongly imprisoned for setting ¿res. In Grant County, he faces charges of disorderly conduct and unlawful use of a weapon. Carpenter said Willingham had a semi-au- tomatic riÀe and 230 rounds of ammunition when he was arrested. Willingham has applied for a court-appointed attorney, a courthouse employee said Friday. He didn’t enter a plea and is being held on $35,000 bail. Los Angeles skyscraper plunge investigated as suicide LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities are investigating whether an electrician intentionally leaped to his death from the 53rd Àoor of Los Angeles’ tallest skyscraper onto an intersection humming with a normal weekday’s bustle, the coroner said Friday. The coroner is also investigating the possibility of Thursday’s death being a workplace accident, because it happened at a construc- tion site, said Ed Winter, assistant chief Los Angeles County Coroner. But police and of¿cials for Turner Construction, the main contractor on the un¿nished 73-story Wilshire Grand Center, interviewed workers and said the fall appeared to be a suicide. Winter said as far as he knew, there was no note. It took some time for people below to realize HOUSTON (AP) — Of¿cers opened ¿re on ¿ve robbery suspects accused of holding up a Houston furniture store and who had been under surveillance for hours, killing two suspects and injuring two more, police said. Police spokesman John Cannon said ¿ve police of¿cers ¿red their weapons but that no of¿cers were injured in the incident late Thursday at a shopping plaza adjacent to busy Interstate 45. He said a tactical team had been monitoring the group following a series of robberies earlier in the day. One injured suspect was taken to a hospital with an undisclosed injury. Another was treated by paramedics at the scene then taken into custody, along with another suspect who was not hurt, Cannon said. Cannon said Friday that of¿cers ¿red on the group when at least one of the suspects pointed a weapon at them. Two guns belonging to AP Photo/Pat Sullivan A police identification tag is placed beside a large bullet hole in a window of a tire store Friday in Houston. Officers opened fire at five robbery suspects accused of holding up a nearby furniture store. the suspects were recovered at the scene. A police tactical team had the suspects under surveillance throughout the day, but Cannon declined to explain why they weren’t apprehended before the holdup and shooting at the Affordable Furniture store. He said the men had been changing vehicles during the day and that police lost sight of them for a while before catching up with the group as they exited the store Thursday night. Harry Cheng, the manager of a Lumber Liquidators store adjacent to the furniture shop, said he was helping a customer and unaware that a robbery was in progress until he saw a police of¿cer in SWAT gear through a window. “He just told me to get down,” said Cheng. “And all of a sudden I heard gunshots.” Cheng said he and the customer hugged the Àoor and heard but didn’t see an exchange of gun¿re that lasted from three to ¿ve minutes. He said he later saw police place one suspect into a police car and two other suspects, apparently wounded, being placed on gurneys. Cannon said one of the suspects taken into custody was wearing an ankle monitor, but he didn’t have details of his criminal record. A call to a spokesman for the Harris County district attorney’s of¿ce was not immediately returned Friday. Taj Ali, the owner of Affordable Furniture, told The Associated Press that an employee who was inside during the holdup said the gunmen were wearing masks. The employee said one pointed a gun at her head and ordered her to lead them to the safe.
