Man With Shotgun Allegedly Confronts Debt Process Server

A 47-year-old Battle Ground man went to jail Monday evening after he allegedly fired a shotgun near a process server who came to present legal papers about a debt.

Max Berry was arrested on suspicion of felony first-degree assault at the home of his mother, Ruth Berry, at 9406 N.E. 219th St., said Sgt. Mike McCabe with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

The process server called 911 at 7:52 p.m., saying he arrived with the papers and Max Berry had fired a shotgun. The server had retreated across the street.

Berry had fired the shotgun near the server, toward a tree stump near busy 219th Street, to get the server to leave the property, McCabe said. No one was injured in the blast.
