ALOHA, Ore. -- An hour-long manhunt ended in the arrest Saturday of a man accused of running through an Aloha neighborhood, invading people's homes and trying to steal cars, deputies said.

Billy Ryan, 26, is accused of terrorizing a neighborhood around 198th Avenue on Sunday night.

The 911 calls started at 7:49 p.m., when a woman called from her cell phone to report that a man tried to take her car. Washington County sheriff's deputies said Ryan reached into his shirt like he had a gun as he told the woman to get out of the car. The woman rolled up her window and drove away, said Sgt. David Thompson in a sheriff's office news release.

It was the first of many reports from residents in the area. In the next 911 call, at 8:06 p.m., the caller reported a man had just entered a home and threatened to shoot if he did not receive keys to the homeowner's car. Deputies said Ryan motioned toward his armpit as if he had a gun, but the resident told Ryan to leave and he did.

Four minutes later, deputies said another 911 call reported that Ryan entered an apartment on 201st Avenue. The man in the apartment said Ryan offered to give him $5,000 for his car. The man refused and told Ryan to leave, deputies said.

Jason Mercier, who lives in the area, said Ryan was able to sneak into his home.

"I came outside to see what was going on and apparently whoever they were looking for snuck back around behind me and went inside my house," Mercier said. "I confronted him and told him to get out."

Josh Allan said the suspect quickly turned his attention to him.

"Then he walked around the front of my house and started asking me for my car keys and I told him, 'Hey, I don't have him.' And he goes 'Dude, give them to me. I'll blow you away,' as he reaches into his coat," Allan said.

Sheriff's deputies said Ryan's bizarre actions continued when a man walked out of his home in the 800 block of Southwest 198th Avenue. He saw Ryan standing next to his car, holding a Gatorade bottle and a cell phone, and soon realized that Ryan had stolen the items out of the car, Thompson said.

Ryan asked the man if he had "seen the man police were looking for." He then handed over the cell phone, took a drink out of the Gatorade and ran away, Thompson said.

Deputies said Ryan's final stop is believed to have been a home in the 19000 block of Ashcroft Lane, where a woman found Ryan inside her car parked in the garage. The woman said Ryan told her he had fallen asleep in the car, Thompson said. After she went inside and locked the door, Ryan opened the garage door and left the home, according to deputies.

A deputy then spotted Ryan after the latest 911 call and apprehended him after a brief foot chase, deputies said.

Ryan was booked into jail on four counts of robbery, four counts of menacing, two counts of burglary, two counts of unauthorized entry to a motor vehicle and one count of criminal trespass.

Anyone with information is asked to call 503-846-2700.
