- 02/23/26
Bend, Ore. – The 15-year-old male juvenile who left a secure J Bar J Youth Services facility on Sunday, February 22nd, was located and arrested Monday Afternoon. The Redmond Police Department responded to a call at Applebee’s in Redmond at 12:44 p.m. and took the juvenile into custody without incident.
The juvenile left the secure J Bar J Youth Services facility without authorization around 10:45 p.m. Sunday. The facility is located in the same building as Deschutes County Juvenile Community Justice on Britta Street in north Bend. The juvenile was housed in a secure Behavior Rehabilitation Services program and was not permitted to leave the facility. He is on parole for aggravated assault with a weapon.
J Bar J Youth Services leases housing units from Deschutes County Juvenile Community Justice but provides its own staffing and security. Participants are not free to leave and must complete a formal release process with their parole officer, including a 72-hour implementation plan. The juvenile did not initiate a release plan, and his parole officer issued an arrest warrant Sunday night for absconding.
Deputies with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office immediately began searching the area and issued a neighborhood alert to residents in the north Bend area to increase awareness and request assistance.
In accordance with Oregon law and standard practice, the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office does not release the name or photograph of juveniles involved in juvenile proceedings.
The Sheriff’s Office thanks the Redmond Police Department for its assistance.
