12/29/2020 (updated 1/4/2021) - By Brian Bates - According to court records, on Dec. 11, 2020 Ray Rentie walked into a business near N. Portland and NW 29th and proceeded to a back office. There he encountered a female employee. Rentie closed the office door and pointed a pistol at her. He then demanded oral sex or he was going to kill her. She complied briefly and then began screaming. A second female employee entered the office. When she saw Rentie with a gun she tried to flee, but he caught her. He then put his gun to her head and forced her to perform oral sex upon him. When he was done he stole one of the women’s purse and left. The women immediately called 911.
Rentie then entered the Don Quixote Bar in the same general area.
Rentie entered the women’s restroom, opened a stall door and forced the woman inside to perform oral sex upon him. He then stole her purse too. The woman exited the restroom and told a male patron what happened.
He quickly went looking for Rentie and found him in a nearby laundromat looking for another victim. The man tackled Rentie as he fled from responding officers.
