A quiet morning at a Southeast Portland home-based daycare turned frightening on Monday when a man prosecutors say was high on crystal meth allegedly walked in, pointed his finger like a gun and repeatedly said, "Shoot." The owner called police, who arrested the man nearby, and he is now facing multiple charges in Multnomah County.
Officers were dispatched around 10:30 a.m. to the 10300 block of Southeast Yukon Street after the man allegedly entered the daycare property, tried to open a locked gate and the front door, and mimed a gun with his hand while saying, "Shoot." The daycare owner, identified in court records as Claudia Juarez, told police she yelled and moved toward him to shield the children inside. Court documents and jail records identify the suspect as 41-year-old Ivan Borisovich Golovin, who was arrested a few blocks away, told officers he had recently used crystal meth and claimed someone had tried to shoot him. He was arraigned the next day on charges that include first-degree criminal trespass, attempted first-degree criminal trespass, first-degree burglary and menacing, according to KATU.
What the charges mean
The charges carry different potential consequences under Oregon law. Menacing is defined in ORS 163.190, which covers conduct intended to place another person in fear of imminent serious physical injury. First-degree burglary is described in ORS 164.225 and can apply when a person unlawfully enters a dwelling; it is classified as a Class A felony. Prosecutors in Multnomah County will decide whether to seek any enhanced penalties or additional charges as the case moves through the courts.
Daycare owner confronts intruder
Juarez told officers her immediate focus was the children in her care. "I just thought about my kids being safe, so I started yelling and walking toward him, yelling, 'Stop, stop, stop! No, no, no!'" she said in her statement. She reported that the man left, then returned and again tried to open the locked gate and front door before walking away. Police located and arrested him a short distance from the home, an account that matches details in court filings and the arraignment, as reported by KATU.
According to court papers, Golovin remains in custody on a parole violation while multiple pending cases are resolved. The matter will continue in Multnomah County Circuit Court, where prosecutors and defense attorneys are expected to set the next steps at upcoming hearings.
