Bend fugitive arrested on drug, weapons charges in Hwy. 97 traffic stop
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) – A Bend man wanted on several arrest warrants gave a false name and tried to run Thursday after a Bend police officer pulled over his SUV in a traffic stop near Hunnell Road and Highway 97. Officers said drugs, cash, stolen items and a loaded handgun were found inside.
The officer conducted the traffic stop shortly after 3 p.m., and the 55-year-old man pulled over and stopped in the Lowe’s parking lot, Lieutenant Bob Jones said. The man gave a false name and tried to run away, but was detained and found to have outstanding arrest warrants.
With the help of Bend Police K-9 Ladybug, officers found inside the SUV over a quarter-pound of methamphetamine, over a half-ounce of heroin, a loaded handgun, stolen property and about $360 in cash, Jones said.
The man was lodged in the Deschutes County Jail on charges of DUII-drugs, possession and attempted delivery of drugs, two charges of unlawful possession of a firearm (felon in possession and carrying concealed), giving false information to police and three in-state warrants.
old-timey gangster revolver, nice
Makes it seem like they pulled him over while he was driving a ’34 Ford!
Way to go there ladybug that was most excitement lowes has seen this year i bet. What goes through their minds when they think i better run sheesh
Won’t be long before Hummel releases him. Seems like Democrats support lawlessness more than the the law biding citizens.
C’mon. This is good news. The cops caught a bad guy and the doggy helped. The story wasn’t wanting for a political slant.
It’s funny the new policy does not allow mugshots or names anymore when the Beer Spa guy was dragged through the mud by Hummel and KTVZ. They happily had his name and picture plastered all over the place.
Another murder in Portland this morning at 2am! Dem led cities are allowing our citizens to be murdered! They do not care about the BIPOC community or poor people! The proof is in the deaths, homelessness and malnourished children all around us! The Dems have proven they don’t care! Their leadership is negligent at best! Vote Johnson for Governor!
You’re in the wrong state lol
Ummm, murders happened regardless of who was leading.
Just the grips on that .38 is worth more than the cash pile.
“Dirty coppers took my gat!”
I haven’t seen a long-barreled .38 since Bonnie and Clyde were out and about. 🤣
Well, I have a long barreled .357 and its sweet! Glad they got this dirtbag.
Great job, Bend Police!
