Eugene, OR – According to the police officials, a man stole a Nissan Xterra from a business around 10:30 morning on Monday. The victim then hopped into a red pickup and began chasing the suspect. Then he trapped him in a dead end of Obie Street.

According to the police report, the victim got out of his truck and challenged the suspect. Both men pulled guns, prompting the victim to fire at the suspect.

The suspect then drove off and ditched the car near the Hampton Inn on W. 11th Ave. and went inside. Staff reportedly noticed he was not wearing a mask and demanded he leave. When employees saw officers in the area, they called 911.

The Oregon State Police responded and found the suspect. His name is Trevor Hudson, 32, and he lives nearby. He was arrested for first-degree robbery, unauthorized use of a vehicle, and unlawful use of a weapon. The vehicle was recovered and returned to its owner.
