On September 10, 2024 at around 1:40pm, Albany Police Officer Jim Estes was dispatched to a call of a male in the area of Fred Meyers stepping into traffic. Upon arrival the male was located near BJ’s Ice Cream Parlor at 2705 SE Pacific Blvd, Albany. During the initial interaction the subject attempted to punch the officer which he was able to deflect and an altercation ensued. Dispatch then lost radio contact with Officer Estes. We received a 911 call reporting an officer was being assaulted and back up units were enroute. Officer Estes was ultimately able to control the suspect and Timothy I. Ayoutt, age 32, was taken into custody. Ayoutt was treated and released at Albany General Hospital for a facial abrasion and was transported to the Linn County Jail.
Ayoutt was charged with Assault on a Police Officer, Harassment and Disorderly Conduct II. Officer Estes was not treated for any injuries.
