(Update: Second suspect arrested; police confirm they are brothers)
REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ)s – Two Prineville brothers have been found, arrested and jailed in connection with a robbery and assault last Friday at the Redmond Motel 6 that sent a Redmond man to the hospital, police said Wednesday.
Officers were dispatched shortly after 7 a.m. Friday to a welfare check at the Redmond Motel 6 on a report of someone screaming, Lt. Jesse Petersen said.
Officers found the 21-year-old alleged victim with an injury to his right hand and a cut to his head, Petersen said. He was taken by Redmond Fire & Rescue to St. Charles Redmond, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Petersen said Redmond police initially identified Prineville residents Levi Hall, 27, and his younger brother, Damon Hall, 22, as persons of interest in the case, sought for questioning.
Prineville police found Damon Hall Sunday and he was taken into custody without further incident, Petersen said. He was taken to the Deschutes County Jail and lodged on charges of first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, second- and third-degree assault, second-degree theft, unlawful use of a weapon, coercion and menacing. His initial bail was set at $215,000.
Redmond’s Street Crimes Unit detectives on Tuesday located Levi Hall, also in Prineville, and he also was arrested without incident, Petersen said. He, too, was taken to the Bend jail on the same charges.
Damon Hall was arraigned Monday on initial charges of first-degree robbery, two counts of second-degree assault, strangulation, second-degree theft, coercion and two counts of unlawful use of a weapon, court records show
Petersen said Redmond police want to thank the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, Prineville Police Department, Central Oregon Drug Enforcement Team and Motel 6 for their assistance in the investigation.
"RPD is continuing to investigate this case," he said, "and if you witnessed or have information regarding this event, please contact us through non-emergency dispatch, 541-693-6911."
