A notorious “cop blocker” was arrested for crossing police lines during an armed standoff in Southeast Portland last week.
50-year-old Robert Lee West was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on charges of interfering with a Peace Officer.
West was at an incident involving a police response to a man who fired multiple shots from a rifle outside of his home in Southeast Portland, an event that prompted police Tactical Teams.
West is a cohort of celebrity YouTube “cop blocker” Mike BlueHair, known for his aggressive interference with police investigations, heckling and interfering with the duties of the Secret Service.
While the incident was resolved peacefully, the rifleman -identified as 28-year-old Michael Benjamin Dixon- was taken into custody and charged with two counts of discharging a firearm in the city and disorderly conduct, 2nd degree. According to Portland’s Police Bureau website, his rifle was seized as evidence.
West had previously filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Portland and Portland police in 2015, contending he was unjustly arrested while videotaping officers during a Ferguson shooting protest the year prior.

There IS a God,,,and He LOVES Cops! Huge respect, gratitude, and love for our Guardians in Blue!!
Thanks for posting. With his name, I found his home address on the internet. I’ll be visiting some morning to Mr. West’s home to follow him with a camera and film his day!!
The police don’t need bystanders interfering and distracting them during an armed standoff. Someone could be shot, for goodness sakes! Too bad it wasn’t this disgusting man.
