Brandon Kaufman died of a gunshot wound to the chest, police say
Moments after shooting a man in the chest, the accused gunman ate close to an ounce of methamphetamine, according to court documents.
Wayne Archie Woodruff appeared in court on Thursday afternoon. He is now charged with murder, being a felon in possession of a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon.
He was booked into jail on Wednesday. He had spent 3 days in the hospital after police say he shot and killed Brandon Kaufman. The shooting happened at a mobile home near the intersection of NE 72nd and Killingsworth, according to police.
Woodruff and his girlfriend had spent a couple nights at the mobile home belonging to a woman named Sherrie Jordan, according to court documents. Jordan told police that Kaufman and his fiancée had been staying at the same trailer for since June, according to court documents.
According to a court affidavit, on the night of July 11, there was a fight between Jordan and Woodruff over an inhaler and whether or not Woodruff needed to go to the hospital, Jordon told police. Woodruff reportedly kicked Jordan and that’s when the other people in the trailer stood up and told him to stop, court documents state.
Jordon told police that Woodruff then walked out of the trailer and that she saw him pull out a silver handgun, point it at her and hesitate, the affidavit states. Jordan told police that she “ducked” as the gun was being fired and that the bullet hit Kaufman, who was standing behind her. He died of a single gunshot wound to the chest.
At the moment the round was fired, Portland Police Officer Tim Hoerhauf and his partner were driving their patrol car in the area of NE 72 and Killingsworth. Hoerhauf reports hearing the gunshot and seeing Woodruff run out of Jordan’s trailer, the affidavit states.
Police recovered the silver handgun used to kill Kaufman, according to court documents. It was found near the start of the foot pursuit between Woodruff and police.
Homicide Detective Anthony Merrill interviewed Woodruff who admitted to being in possession of a silver handgun and admitted to eating close to an ounce of meth while fleeing, the affidavit states.
On Nov. 29, 2011, Woodruff was convicted of bank robbery in federal court. In Aug. 1996, he was convicted of first-degree arson.
Woodruff’s next court appearance is scheduled for July 24.
Guys like him need to achieve room temperature
I’m sorry-but I chuckled when I saw the photo.
He’s just a funny looking guy, IMO.
I never saw the show, but he kind of looked like him to me.

I felt the same way! Kind of a George Carlin expression with pointy ears. Lol.
I guess that Broke Bad there.
It’s the tweak. Helps account for this mook’s decision making skills too...
Portland, Oregon. Okay. That could have been somewhere obvious. I was guessing Florida at first.
Go on...say it......say my name!
Heisenberg.
Damn Straight!
lol

I can’t believe he didn’t after eating an ounce of meth.
His heart should have exploded.
As a purveyor of this crap he probably sprinkles that much on his fruit loops every morning. I guess one builds up a tolerance
A silver handgun?
Sounds neat. Where can I get one?
Setting aside the arson for a moment: if this guy was convicted of bank robbery in late 2011 (in a federal court, no less) then why in the Hell is he walking the streets a Free man less than 4 years later?
Something doesn't add up...
