US man named Loony Toon sentenced to 20 years for shooting at police officers

Oregon man with extensive criminal record fired at three officers while speeding away from a traffic stop in 2025

A man with the unusual name Loony Toon and a lengthy rap sheet has been given 20 years in prison after admitting that he shot at police officers in Oregon, according to authorities.

The 43-year-old whose name calls to mind the classic television cartoon franchise Looney Tunes - as well as a colloquial term some invoke when describing an eccentric or irrational person - fired a gun at three officers while speeding away from a 20 June 2025 traffic stop in the community of Milwaukie, local prosecutors said in a statement on Thursday.
