After a three-week spree of stealing seven U-Haul and other rental trucks in Portland and Gresham, Shane Bradley Dorn Sr. literally “just crashed,” a Multnomah County prosecutor said Wednesday.
Officers arrested Dorn when he was found sleeping - and high on methamphetamine - in an unoccupied unit at Northeast Portland’s Fort Knox Mini-Storage and U-Haul business, according to court records.
Dorn engineered his binge using a pry bar to break into overnight lock boxes where customers would return keys for the rental vehicles, the court records show.
Initially indicted on 30 charges, Dorn pleaded guilty to five charges: second-degree arson, second-degree burglary, first-degree aggravated theft and two counts of unauthorized use of a vehicle.
