A 13-year-old West Richland boy was arrested for allegedly stealing items from cars in Richland, but police said they don't have any reports from theft victims yet.

The teen was arrested about 9:45 p.m. Wednesday after a resident at an apartment complex at 1780 Pike St. reported seeing two kids throwing rocks at his car, said Richland police Capt. Jeff Taylor.

The man said he was on his patio when he saw the two. He chased them and caught one boy. Officers estimated about $600 in damage was done to the car, Taylor said.

The teen was arrested on suspicion of malicious mischief, and when he was interviewed by an officer, the teen said his backpack had property taken from vehicles earlier in the evening, Taylor said.

The items apparently were stolen from vehicles around Richland High School and the Richland library, but the teen didn't provide any more information.

He also didn't identify the second boy who was with him.

Police have not received any theft reports from people that match the stolen property they recovered, Taylor said Thursday.

He said victims of vehicle prowling on Wednesday are encouraged to file a police report because officers might have some of their property.

Victims can call the nonemergency dispatch line at 628-0333 and ask for a Richland officer.

Victim's, officers' names released in shooting

An incident in which two police officers shot an armed man in rural Umatilla County remains under investigation, with the names of the officers and the suspect released Thursday.

Michael Thomas Summers, 52, was shot three times after reportedly refusing to drop a rifle aimed at a Umatilla County sheriff's deputy and an Oregon State Police trooper.

Trooper Ryan Sharp, 24, and Deputy Morgan Dunlap, 33, were placed on paid administrative leave, a standard practice when an officer shoots a suspect.

Summers is in the intensive care unit at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland. He was wanted on a federal parole violation for a weapons offense when the officers encountered him after a single-vehicle crash Tuesday night near Tollgate, police said.

The shooting is being investigated by a multi-agency team involving the Oregon State Police, Umatilla County Sheriff's Office, Umatilla County District Attorney's Office and state Department of Justice.

The Pendleton, Hermiston, Umatilla Tribal and Milton-Freewater police departments, and the Walla Walla County Sheriff's Office also are part of the investigation team.
