PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) -
A man accused of stealing a car from a Portland fire station now faces additional charges. Investigators have linked Michael Spillers Jr. to a stolen handgun stashed in a washing machine.
On Sunday, police say Spillers stole a fire captain's car in southeast Portland, crashed it into a house and then fled on foot. That's when investigators say he hid the handgun. Police arrested spillers with the help of firefighters who were chasing him.
