Gresham, Ore. - Gresham resident Arsenio Lee Jumping Bull, 26, was sentenced yesterday to 90 months in prison for breaking into an apartment on Super Bowl Sunday and starting it on fire. He pled no contest to two counts of Arson in the First Degree and was ordered to pay more than $16,000 in restitution, according to the Multnomah County District Attorney's office. Collaborative efforts between fire and police investigators are credited for saving lives and bringing this case to a swift resolution.
On Feb. 2, 2014, at 12:56 p.m., Gresham police officers and fire fighters responded to the Highland View Apartments, 4725 West Powell Boulevard, for the report of a disturbance and fire. First responders struggled to gain entry into the burning apartment as the fire spread. According to police reports, Jumping Bull jumped out of a window after fire fighters knocked down flames inside a bedroom. He was immediately taken into custody by police. Deputy Fire Marshals Shawn Durham and Robert Mottice led the arson investigation, determining Jumping Bull had started the blaze from multiple ignition points.
No one was hurt as a result of the fire but two families were displaced. Police reports suggest Jumping Bull was delusional and under the influence of cocaine and methamphetamine when he broke into the apartment and started the fire.
