Distraught Man Scares Neighbors

Deschutes County 911 got several calls Sunday afternoon from a house in Deschutes River Woods reporting that a man was yelling at imaginary people, and then fired several shots from a rifle. The homeowner fled her Minnetonka Lane home after calling for help. When deputies, OSP Troopers, and Bend PD officers arrived, they confronted the man and ordered him to drop the weapon. The man cooperated and was taken into custody. Steven Lee Hartford, 59, was taken to St. Charles Bend for evaluation, and then booked into jail for three counts of reckless Endangering and for being a felon in possession of a firearm.   There were no injuries reported.
