‘Bock, Bock, Bock, You Next!’: An Oregon man will spend years in bars for attempting to kill after attacking the male who confronted him for molesting a flock of peacocks

A bizarre case involving an Oregon man who shot at another man who asked him to stop harassing a flock of wild peacocks ended last week when he was sentenced to more than seven years in prison.

A Multnomah County judge sentenced Dylan Levi Rhoads, 25, to 90 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon, according to local prosecutors.

Authorities say Rhoads’ case began with a confrontation with another man on September 29, 2023. That day, as he was leaving for work, the victim noticed Rhoads and another man harassing peacocks across the street.

The victim requested that the pair stop, but Rhoads and his friend responded with a “violent response,” according to prosecutors, telling the victim, “bock, bock, bock, you next” and “We can bang right now.”

The victim briefly returned to his house, but when Rhoads and his friend drove away, he left again and started driving to work.

He had only driven a few blocks when he noticed Rhoads and his friend waiting in their car at an intersection. According to authorities, Rhoads, who was in the driver’s seat, shot the victim.

Bullets grazed the man, but prosecutors say he did not sustain serious injuries. The victim reportedly had a heavy-duty driver’s seat installed in his car, which prevented one of the bullets from striking him.

Investigators discovered five shell casings at the intersection, as well as multiple bullet strikes on the victim’s car. Police also obtained Ring camera footage, which helped them identify Rhoads’ car. They discovered his vehicle within days.

According to court documents cited by KGW, the judge overseeing Rhoads’ case resolved eight other cases against him, the majority of which involved reckless driving charges.

“This defendant demonstrated a clear pattern of escalated, dangerous criminal behavior. “Yet he was repeatedly released after being arrested for his previous crimes,” Multnomah County Deputy District Attorney Eric Palmer stated. “I believe the system failed here- failed both the victims and the defendant.”
