A man who got high on hash oil and went on a wild rampage through the Portland suburbs — which included him ramming cars and sprinting naked through traffic on a busy highway — was convicted of multiple crimes Wednesday in Washington County, authorities said.

Aronson Bellegrade pounced on a stranger’s car, drove his Honda Civic into two other vehicles and almost caused a pair of head-on crashes near the Washington Square Mall on March 16, prosecutors said.

After the collisions, the 29-year-old stripped off all of his clothes, rolled beneath multiple vehicles that had stopped on Oregon 217 and jumped the highway’s center median, the Washington County district attorney’s office said.

The man’s rampage ended with him running along 217’s southbound lanes while cops chased after him, prosecutors said.

Bellegrade later told police he had been puffing on a vape pen packed with a potent marijuana concentrate before he went berserk, the district attorney’s office said. There were no reported injuries.

Circuit Judge Eric Butterfield found Bellegarde guilty on multiple criminal counts, including third-degree assault, recklessly endangering another person, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and driving under the influence of intoxicants.
