Officer accused of threatening Scappoose couple won't face charges

HILLSBORO, Ore. -- A Hillsboro police officer will not face charges he pulled a gun on a couple while off duty last week at a restaurant.
Off-duty Hillsboro Police officer Scott Hanley was accused of pulling a gun on a Scappoose couple and threatening their lives while they were eating ice cream.
Kevin Deavers told Newschannel 8 he and his wife were eating ice cream outside a Dairy Queen last week when Deavers said Hanley pulled in front of him and shined his headlights into the couple's car.
Deavers asked the man to dim his lights. He said that's when officer Hanley pulled out his gun.
"He says you need to leave. You need to leave right now, you need to go. I was trying to reason with him. 'Bud, I'm just eating my ice cream, why do you have your high beams pointed at my eyes?' Then he pulls out a semi-automatic pistol and holds it sideways... and says 'I'll kill you and her,'" said Deavers.
The Columbia County district attorney said there was insufficient evidence to press charges.
