Officers were called to an apartment complex in Monmouth where the man was allegedly trespassing and harassing an ex-girlfriend. Police said they were told the suspect left after getting into a confrontation with a male tenant of one of the apartments and pulling out a knife. When they spotted him, deputies pulled him over and tried to arrest him. Oregon State Police said a trooper used a less lethal force option before Deputy Casey Gibson shot Joshua Bolster.
