A man cartoonishly named Loony Toon was sentenced to decades in prison for shooting at three Oregon police officers during a traffic stop.
Loony John Franklin Kolb Toon, 43, will spend the next 20 years behind bars after he opened fire on police officers in Milwaukie, a Portland suburb, in June 2025, a judge ruled.
Toon shot at the officers while speeding away from the traffic stop after officers discovered he had an active warrant. He then ditched his SUV and a female passenger and took off on foot at a local golf course.
He was arrested three days later.
Toon, who was on probation for attempted kidnapping at the time of the shooting, pleaded guilty Thursday to four counts of first-degree attempted assault with a firearm, unlawful use of a firearm, felon in possession of a firearm and second-degree escape.
He was sentenced by a Clackamas County Circuit Court judge to 20 years in prison, which will run concurrently with other outstanding charges in other Oregon counties.
Toon was also ordered to pay restitution to the city of Milwaukie for damaging a police car and to the owner of a car hit by his bullets.
