BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Bend police arrested a 35-year-old local man Monday afternoon after stopping a reported stolen vehicle near Terranaut Brewing on NE High Desert Lane in Bend.

Officers pulled over a dark gray Volkswagen Jetta around 3:18 p.m., after it had been reported stolen from Bend on January 2. The stop was treated as high-risk, a standard protocol for stolen vehicle encounters.
