That’s despicable.

Authorities in Oregon are actively searching for a criminal who opened fire on law enforcement officers during a chase. The pursuit took them through Portland and the suburb of Milwaukie in the early hours of Friday morning. The suspect managed to evade capture after leading police on a high-speed chase.

Loony John Franklin Toon, 42, was spotted by cops weaving his SUV between lanes on SE Highway 224 around 2:45 a.m.

Upon pulling him over, Milwaukie police discovered he had an active felony warrant out for his arrest, and placed a spike strip beneath the rear tires of his vehicle to prevent the daffy suspect from fleeing.

But in true wascally wabbit form, Toon threw the SUV into reverse, slammed into a police car and ran over the spike strips before taking off, at times topping a speedy 80 mph.

Toon fired several shots from the vehicle as he fled, but no officers or police vehicles were struck, KATU reports.

As his badly damaged tires finally gave way, the SUV finally stopped. Toon hopped out of the derelict vehicle and fled on foot onto a nearby golf course, while a female passenger remained behind.

A lockdown order issued to residents in the Eastmoreland neighborhood was lifted around 8:30 a.m. that morning as police gave chase, establishing a perimeter around the golf course.

The search for the wily suspect is being led by the Special Emergency Reaction Team (SERT) and Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT).

“If anybody has any information, please [report it],” police spokesperson Kevin Allen told the outlet Friday morning, noting the pursuit “did impact the neighborhood.

Anyone with information about Toon’s whereabouts is being asked to contact police at 503-786-7425.

His comments were made when asked about reports that US President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to kill Khamenei out of concern it would intensify the Iran-Israel showdown.
