Early Sunday afternoon officers responded to an apartment in the 8100 block of Southeast Mill Street. They were there for a welfare check on a woman who reportedly was "outside the apartment completely naked and shouting nonsense," according to a Portland Police statement issued Tuesday.
A police spokesperson says Officer Michael Filbert, an 11-year veteran, and Officer Brent Maxey, an 8-year veteran, arrived and spoke with a neighbor. The neighbor reportedly told them the female was "acting very strange" and had pushed out the window screen from her second-floor apartment.
The woman was later identified as 61-year-old Phyllis Ann Lasich.
"Officer Maxey retrieved the screen and he and Officer Filbert went to Lasich's apartment and could hear that a vacuum was running inside the apartment," reads the Portland Police statement.
"Officer Filbert knocked on the door and told Lasich that it was the police outside and that they were there to make sure she was OK.
"After a short conversation through the door, Officer Filbert told Lasich that they brought her window screen up and leaned it against the door. Lasich thanked the officers.
"Then the officers heard a loud crashing noise inside the apartment. The door quickly opened and Lasich was holding a large meat cleaver as she yelled, 'Die *expletive*,' as she slashed the cleaver towards Officer Filbert.
"Officer Filbert quickly moved back as the cleaver hit him between his radio holder and his left hip, narrowly missing his body.
"Officer Filbert continued to back away as he drew his gun while Officer Maxey pointed his [electronic shock device] at Lasich as both officers gave her commands to drop the knife. Lasich continued to swing the cleaver in wild slashes but got caught up in the window screen that had been set against her door.
"Lasich was topless and screaming that she was going to kill the officers."
"Lasich backed away from the door [and] then laid down on the ground, complying with the officers commands. As the officers took Lasich in to custody, she told them, 'Thank God you are here! They've been coming to kill me all day!'
"Lasich was not charged with a crime but was transported by ambulance to an area hospital where she was placed on a hold."
Hmmmm...
If your name is Phyllis, you probably shouldn’t be going topless.
Cops were lucky. Gun and taser? A little shock therapy was all that should have been needed.
Wow Portland and she lived.
Pictures?
Don’t think we need pictures of this one...
Dude....you have a 'death-wish'?
LOL If she is large chested and natural the pic would have to be a shot down to her belly button.
Thats where they are post meno.
Gee. Thanks. That bonus mental image just made me throw up in my brain a little. Why don't you get it over with and post the obligatory Helen-Thomas-in-a-bikini photos?
Is she on the Democratic ticket in her district?
Sorry.
Please NO PICS! My mind’s eye is already shuddering in horror.
You made me spit on my screen, laughing. Thanks a lot.
...at 61 the clever wasn’t the only thing swinging.......

An E-Mail I recieved today:
A woman in her sixties is at home, unclothed, happily jumping on her bed and squealing with delight. Her husband watches her for a while and asks,
“Do you have any idea how ridiculous you look? What’s the matter with you?”
The woman continues to bounce on the bed and says, “I don’t care what you think. I just came from having a mammogram, and the doctor says that not only am I healthy, but I have the breasts of an 18 year-old.
The husband replies, “What did he say about your 65-year old ass?”
“Your name never came up,” she replied
Guilty. Throw away the key.
Hah Good One!
