Warlen’s Standoff at Centennial Mills | Portland News

A 44-year-old man crashed through the security checkpoint at the burned-down Centennial Mills warehouse, narrowly missing a guard and injuring another—leading to a 90-minute standoff before police took him into custody. He now faces serious charges including attempted assault and reckless driving. While the city has lifted the collapse hazard warning for the site, it’s still urging people to stay away due to ongoing demolition and safety risks. Three lanes of NW Naito Parkway have reopened, but sidewalks, bike lanes, and nearby parking remain blocked. Fields Park is still closed as experts monitor for falling debris. Investigators are still piecing together what caused the original fire—and can’t yet access the rubble to search for human remains.
