Oregon man was pulled over and had an active warrant. Then he responded with gunfire

A man named Loony John Franklin Toon is officially heading to prison for two decades following a violent confrontation with law enforcement that began as a routine traffic stop. The 43-year-old was sentenced by a Clackamas County Circuit Court judge after pleading guilty to multiple serious charges, including first-degree attempted assault with a firearm and felon in possession of a firearm.

This legal outcome, per the NY Post, marks the end of an episode that took place in June 2025. According to the court, the 20-year sentence will run concurrently with other outstanding charges Toon faces in various Oregon counties. Beyond the prison time, the judge also ordered Toon to pay restitution to the city of Milwaukie for the damage he caused to a police cruiser, as well as to a private citizen whose vehicle was struck by gunfire.
