On December 20, 2017 at about 8:00 pm, Oregon State Police Troopers responded to the report of a drunk and disorderly subject at the Rhododendron Trailer Park in Florence. While en route information was received the disorderly subject and resident, 54-year-old Scott Williams had been threatening to shoot everyone in the park.
Troopers arrived at the scene and located Williams in his single wide manufactured home. While attempting to make contact with Williams, he pointed a firearm at the troopers. Additional units were called and a perimeter was set up. Attempts were made for some time for Williams to come out but he refused to do so. OSP Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team responded due to the dangerous nature of the call. Once SWAT was on the scene, crisis negotiators began speaking with Williams who refused to come out and threatened to kill SWAT members.
In total, Troopers loud hailed and called Williams for over 6 hours advising he was under arrest and for him to exit the trailer peacefully. After OSP Detectives obtained a search warrant for Williams’ arrest, SWAT introduced chemical agents (pepper spray and tear gas) into the trailer. Williams subsequently exited was still not complying with command as was tasered. He was then taken into custody at about 3 AM and taken to the Lane County Jail in Eugene. A loaded handgun was recovered from the scene.
Williams was booked on the following charges: Pointing Firearm at Another, Menacing, Disorderly Conduct Disorderly Conduct and Unlawful use of a Weapon.
