Cacy L. Jordan, 37, has been sentenced to 201 days in jail in Clark County. The Vancouver man allegedly threatened members of his family with a gun and was shot in a confrontation with police. He agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to second-degree domestic violence assault. In exchange another count of second-degree domestic violence assault and two counts of felony harassment death threats were dismissed.
Jordan will be required to complete 18 months of probation when he is released and has been prohibited from contacting his wife and daughter for 10 years. His Vancouver defense attorney argued that Jordan should only serve three months, the minimum sentence for the crime, because he has no previous felony convictions. The prosecutor asked for the maximum sentence of 270 days. Jordan was involved in a standoff with the police July 19 when officers responded to a call from a neighbor reporting he was drunk and threatening his family with a pistol.
Jordan’s wife, Wesley Jordan, had reportedly slipped her mother a note stating that she was afraid Jordan would kill her and her children. The note read: “CJ is drunk and waving around a loaded pistol… saying he has one in the chamber for all of us. I think someone should go outside and call the police. I think that (the) situation is only going to get worse.”
When police officers made contact with Jordan he reportedly would not follow their commands. An officer gave spoken commands and then fired multiple rounds through a window, hitting Jordan in the left shoulder. He was taken into custody near the front of the house.
