Update - Today At 4:30pm the United States Marshall Service arrested Jose Ponce-Guitron during a traffic stop. He was arrested without incident and turned over to Sheriff's Office detectives. He will be charged with Attempted Murder.
Original Release:
On January 10, 2013, at about 10:07 a.m., Sheriff's Deputies were called to a disturbance at the Willow Springs Apartments, 3117 SW Doyle Place, in the community of Aloha, an area of the Enhanced Sheriff's Patrol District (ESPD).
Deputies arrived to find that a 42-year old woman who resides at the complex reported being attacked by her estranged boyfriend, Jose Ponce-Guitron, 46, who is considered a transient.
According to investigators, Mr. Ponce-Guitron came to the apartment complex looking for his estranged girlfriend. He reportedly used a metal tool to break the back glass door and gain entry to her apartment, then attacked the woman with a knife.
Neighbors heard the commotion and forced open the apartment's front door to help the woman. When the neighbors entered, Mr. Ponce-Guitron ran out the back door. The woman sustained a deep cut to her neck and was transported to Emanuel Hospital by ground ambulance. Her condition does not appear to be life threatening.
Washington County Violent Crimes Unit Detectives were called in to assist with this investigation.
It is believed that Mr. Ponce-Guitron fled in his green 1999 Honda Pilot bearing Oregon plate YMY389. Sheriff's Deputies are asking the public's help in locating Mr. Ponce-Guitron. He is currently wanted on several felony crimes, including Burglary, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and Assault.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of Jose Ponce-Guitron, please call the Sheriff's Office at 503-629-0111. You can remain anonymous.
