MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. (MCSO) – Deputies with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) are investigating a suspected impaired driving crash that occurred during a pursuit.

This investigation began around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday December 20, 2025, when a MCSO deputy came upon a car that was stopped beyond the white stop line on the exit of Interstate 84 at Northeast 238th Drive. As the deputy approached, the driver sped off and crossed all lanes of traffic against a red light.

A right-of-way driver had to make an evasive maneuver to avoid being hit by the suspect’s car.

The suspect, later identified as 27-year-old Trevor Shuler, appeared to initially slow down and seemed to be stopping in response to the deputy’s efforts to conduct a traffic stop. However, Shuler sped away again. The deputy initiated a pursuit.

Shuler never pulled over.

MCSO deputies and Gresham Police set up spike strips in an effort to safely end the pursuit.

As Shuler approached the intersection of Southwest Stark Street on Southwest 257th Drive in Troutdale, he drove through a red light and crashed into a right-of-way vehicle traveling westbound on Southwest Stark Street.

Fortunately, there were no serious injuries to either driver.

MCSO deputies took Shuler into custody without further incident.

During their investigation, MCSO deputies found drugs inside Shuler’s vehicle. MCSO deputies believe, based on their investigation, that Shuler may have been impaired.

Deputies booked Shuler into the Multnomah County Detention Center on multiple charges that include reckless driving, attempting to elude by vehicle, driving under the influence of intoxicants, and unlawful possession of a controlled substance. Shuler also had an outstanding warrant for his arrest.

No photos are available for release.

Charges are only allegations, and every arrested person is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

ORS 133.870 generally prohibits the release of jail booking photos to the public unless it is determined that there is a law enforcement purpose.

The information contained in this news release is based on a preliminary review of the details available to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. As the investigation progresses, information may change.
