Domestic Violence Investigation

12/07/19

By: Sergeant Troy Gotchy

 

Suspect:  29 year old male

                Redmond, Oregon

 

Victim:  22 year old female

              Redmond, Oregon

 

On 12/06/19 at approximately the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a possible domestic dispute in the Terrebonne area.  Deschutes County Dispatch received a 911 call, and could hear a female screaming and crying.  During the phone call Dispatchers could hear what they believed to be a Domestic Assault in progress.

A Deputy with the Sheriff’s Office and two Officers with the Redmond Police Department arrived on the scene and witnessed an assault taking place.  The Deputy and the two Officers were able to get the victim out of the residence safely.  The male suspect ran into another room and locked himself inside.  It was believed the suspect might have access to weapons in that room.  The Deputy and the two Officers evacuated the victim to a safe location, and set a perimeter around the house.

Several more Deputies and several Officers from the Redmond and Bend Police Department arrived on scene to assist along with armor from the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.  Several attempts were made to contact the male including phone calls into the house, and loud hailing from the armor.  There was no response from the residence.

This is an ongoing investigation and the names of the suspect and victim will not be released at this time.  The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Redmond Police Department, the Bend Police Department, the Redmond Fire Department, and the Oregon Department of Transportation.
