The victim of a September shooting at a home near Ridgefield was arraigned Wednesday in Clark County Superior Court for allegedly instigating the incident.
Mark Buckner, 50, entered not-guilty pleas to second-degree assault and domestic-violence malicious mischief stemming from the Sept. 6 altercation at 2305 N.E. 209th St.
Court records say Buckner arrived about 8:05 p.m. to pick up some of his personal items and began yelling at people there for putting his clothes in a mud puddle. Multiple people at the residence said Buckner had been causing problems. Buckner allegedly threatened to kill the residents and then drove his pickup erratically and acted as if he was going to run over Michael Hatch and his wife, Jamiedee.
Hatch fired a rifle at the pickup and struck Buckner multiple times, court records said. Hatch was sentenced in November to nine months in jail for unlawful possession of a firearm in connection with the incident.
