SISTERS, Ore. (KTVZ) — We have much more information for you from the sister’s story we first told you about last night. A Sisters man is under arrest in a guns-drawn traffic stop after he allegedly hit another man with his car. We spoke on Thursday with the man who was allegedly hit.
It started just before 11 a.m. Wednesday in Sisters. Brian Owen says he was walking on the sidewalk along Highway 20 when he heard someone yelling at him from across the street. He could not understand what the person was saying, but the next thing he knew, the man drove his car across the oncoming lane of traffic and headed straight toward him.
Owen says he was flipped over the front of the car and his back smashed the driver’s side mirror. Despite being hit by the car, Brian says he only has some cuts and bruises. He’s left with more questions than injuries.
Owen told KTVZ News: “I would probably ask him like, why? What came about him? What did I do to him to deserve to be ran over? Like what came across his mind to just decide to run somebody over for no reason.”
Eyewitnesses saw the man drive off in a gold-colored sedan. Well, a short time later, sheriff’s deputies were called to the Mainline gas station after a report of a man brandishing a knife during a disagreement. When police got there, they saw the same gold-colored sedan from earlier. The man tried to drive away but was stopped and taken into custody. Neither of these alleged victims had ever met this man before.
