Portland police
say Dean Defeudis, 32, broke into a Portland home around 3 a.m.
on Thursday, gathered items of value and then stripped naked,
climbed into bed with a man and woman and then kissed the man.
"The victim woke up and the suspect was sitting on top of him
holding a knife," Portland Police Sergeant Pete Simpson said in
a written statement. "The victim pushed the suspect off of him
as the victim retrieved his handgun and began giving the suspect
commands to stop."
"The suspect put his pants on and ran out of the home, chased by
the victim who fired three shots near the suspect to get him to
stop," Simpson said.
Defeudis was not injured in the incident.
The male victim, who was also unhurt, was not expected to face
charges in the incident.
Defeudis was to be arraigned in Multnomah County Court on Friday
afternoon on burglary and sex abuse charges, as well as unlawful
use of a weapon, court officials said.
Court officials said Defeudis, who was arrested by police in a
nearby vacant house shortly after the incident, did not have an
attorney as of Friday morning ahead of an expected afternoon
court appearance.
Defeudis was treated at a local hospital for suspected drug use
before being taken to Multnomah County Jail on Thursday, Simpson
said.
