HARPER, Oregon A Caldwell man who became the target of a manhunt after a theft last year has been sentenced to prison.
Police say Christoffersen was trying to steal a tractor and a UTV in the remote town of Harper, Oregon on New Year s Eve, when a neighbor noticed him loading up the trailer. The neighbor intervened, and fired a shot into the air as a warning.
Christoffersen also fired a gun during the exchange, authorities say. No one was hit or injured.
The suspect was caught and taken into custody the next day.
District Attorney David Goldthorpe said Christoffersen pleaded guilty March 10 to first-degree aggravated theft, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and second-degree burglary.
Malheur Co. moved from extreme to moderate risk, which will allow indoor dining and increase the maximum number of people allowed at indoor and outdoor gatherings.
