A man accused of shooting two Portland police officers erupted in a volatile outburst during his Feb. 4, 2026, court appearance.
According to The Oregonian, Eric F. Oelkers, 41, shouted in court that the legal process was an “unconstitutional and illegal insurrection” and proclaimed “Trump knows it. Trump’s coming” before yelling that law enforcement would see him “in hell” as he was escorted from the courtroom.
