PPB Disrupts Illegal Street Takeover; Makes Arrests, Seizes Firearm and Vehicles

Portland police say they responded to multiple street takeover events in North Portland on the evening of April 4, 2026, including the 9900 block of North Whitaker Road and the area of Northeast 33rd Avenue and Northeast Broadway Street. According to the Portland Police Bureau, officers from multiple precincts and the Air Support Unit took part in the response. (portland.gov (opens in a new tab))

PPB said Air Support located a gathering of hundreds of people who were either watching the events or occupying intersections while drivers performed stunts. During that response, officers made arrests and seized vehicles involved in the takeover activity. The bureau also said a vehicle performing dangerous stunts struck a pedestrian. The driver, Ciana Hughes, 21, was cited for reckless driving, and the Ford Mustang she was driving was seized. Police said the victim was not located. (portland.gov (opens in a new tab))

The bureau said officers also found a severely injured man who had been assaulted by participants in the takeover and helped him get medical attention. PPB listed arrests for Kobe Thompson-Perez, 18, Amarius Ackridge, 20, Jonathon Mount, 22, Kamil Tez, 25, and Marquez Quintero, 20. The agency said charges included reckless endangerment, reckless driving, attempting to elude police, and unlawful possession of a firearm. Officers seized eight vehicles in total and recovered one firearm. (portland.gov (opens in a new tab))

Crashes and pedestrian strikes can leave injured people with immediate medical questions, insurance calls, and uncertain evidence trails. In a case involving a street takeover or reckless driving, preserving names, photos, witness details, and medical records can matter for any later claim under Oregon personal injury law.
