From the Vancouver Columbian of February 13, 2004:
Deputies respond to shots-fired call
Sheriff's deputies rushed to a shots-fired call in Hazel Dell early Thursday, but the person who fired the shot turned out to be a bail bondsman.
About 1:25 a.m. Thursday, officers were sent to the Windsor Estates Apartments, 7912 N.E. 18th Ave. They learned that agents from A Affordable Bail Bonds had fought with and detained a wanted felon who was armed with a gun. In the process, an agent fired a shot into the ground.
The wanted man, Daniel Gene Hoffman, was taken to the Clark County Jail on suspicion of an earlier first-degree assault and being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to a sheriff's bulletin.
His girlfriend, Misty Iverson, was arrested for a previously issued warrant.
Sheriff's Cmdr. Tony Barnes said he was aware of no plans to charge the bail bondsman with a crime for discharging a gun in a restricted area.
"We'd prefer they didn't fire guns, even if into the ground, but there's no controlling legislation over bail bondsmen," Barnes said.
