On Saturday January 9, 2021, at approximately 8:53 AM, a Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Deputy attempted a traffic stop in the area of NW 6th street and NW Quince Avenue in Redmond.

The Deputy was able to take him into custody after a short foot pursuit.
The driver was identified as Glen James Carroll, 47 yo male from Redmond. When Carroll was arrested, he was in possession of approximately one ounce of suspected methamphetamine.

Central Oregon Partnerships for Youth (COPY), a program of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, is offering a virtual class to prepare volunteers to become mentors for children with an incarcerated parent.
After initial training and comprehensive background checks, volunteers are matched with a child in Bend, Redmond, Sisters or LaPine that share similar interests and activities and commit to spending a few hours a week together for a minimum of one year. This time is often spent on outside activities, exploring the community, doing art or craft projects, or simply hanging out and talking.
On Saturday, January 16, COPY will offer a virtual orientation/training class. This 3½-hour class covers program policies, how to establish a mentor relationship, the impact incarceration has on families, communication skills, and safety and best practices for mentoring in a COVID-19 world. There is no cost to attend, but advanced registration is required.

Occurred: 12/30/2020 3:08 PM
Location: Forest Service road, north of Paulina Lake
Rescued: Thompson, Paul, Bend, OR, 37 yo male
Thompson's 13 yo daughter
NARRATIVE:
On 12/30/20 at about 1508 hours, Deschutes County Dispatch received a 911 call from a male stating that his adult son, Mr. Paul Thompson, and Thompson's 13 year old daughter, were stuck in a vehicle somewhere near Paulina Lake. The caller stated that the two individuals had been stuck since the evening of 12/29/20. It was initially unknown what road the vehicle was stuck on, however, another family member had used a phone application to locate the 13 year old female's phone at 9:00 AM, which showed her to be on the north side of Paulina Lake. This turned out to be very helpful because when a Special Services deputy attempted to ping the individuals cell phone, the phone was either turned off, or the battery had gone dead.
One Deschutes County Sheriff's Office Deputy and three Deschutes County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue volunteers responded to assist. The DCSO SAR volunteers travelled the majority of the way to the stuck subjects with a 4x4 pickup, then deployed the tracked DCSO SAR ARGO ATV. At about 5:30 PM the volunteers had travelled about 5.5 miles in the ARGO ATV and arrived at the location where Thompson, his daughter, and their two dogs were waiting with their stuck vehicle. Both subjects and their two dogs were unharmed and were provided with a ride out to the SAR pickup, and then given a ride to their awaiting family on China Hat Road. DCSO resources returned to quarters by 7:00 PM.
The DCSO would like to remind the public to use caution when traveling on forest roads this time of year due to snowpack. Road conditions vary significantly and roads can quickly become impassable.

Thomas David Cross
Charges: Assault II, Felon in Possession of a Weapon, Robbery I, Menacing, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, Theft II.
Victim: 27 year old male, Redmond, owner of Ford Ranger
Victim: 33 year old female, Redmond, reporting person
Detectives learned during their investigation on December 21, 2020 that Thomas Cross stole the Ford Ranger and used a handgun during the theft of the vehicle. The vehicle owner’s girlfriend later observed Cross and Campbell in the vehicle and believed something was wrong due to her boyfriend not being inside. She used her vehicle in an attempt to block the truck on a dirt road. She reported that Cross shot at her after she blocked him in. After Cross and Campbell fled the area she called 911 to report the incident.
During the subsequent lengthy investigation, detectives determined Campbell had unlawfully entered an occupied home in the 4000 block of NE Vaughn. Campbell then pointed a firearm at the homeowner inside the residence, but the homeowner was able to get away and lock herself and her children inside a bathroom. Campbell then left the residence and attempted to steal a vehicle in the driveway. Campbell was located inside the vehicle by deputies and was taken into custody without incident.
During a search of the area deputies located two firearms. One of the firearms had been reported stolen out of the City of Redmond.
Both subjects were transferred over to detectives with the Tri-County Major Incident Team.
Cross was later transported to the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Jail where he was lodged on the above mentioned charges.
This case is being reviewed by the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office, and further charges on Campbell are likely.
