Bend, Ore. — At 6:17 a.m., deputies with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of an attempted break-in and assault at a travel trailer located off Highway 20 between Bend and Sisters.
Deputies say 52-year-old Bradon Michael Planty attempted to force entry into a travel trailer where a couple is currently living on their own property while the house is for sale. The suspect allegedly broke a window, tried to get inside, and threatened to kill the couple. The male victim was able to call 9-1-1 for help.
During the confrontation, detectives say Planty used a knife and tried to gain entry, causing injuries to the female victim. She was then able to arm herself with her own knife in self-defense, but Planty gained possession of both knives and tried using them against her. The female kept Planty from gaining entry for several minutes until deputies arrived.
Planty left the scene but was later located by deputies nearby. He resisted arrest and assaulted a peace officer before being taken into custody without further incident. The female victim was treated at the scene and declined transport to the hospital.
Planty was arrested and lodged at the Deschutes County Adult Jail on the following charges:
- Assault 1 - Felony
- Assault 2 - Felony
