Details:

On July 10th, 2024, at approximately 1:19pm, Officers from the Eagle Point Police Department responded to a report of Jacob Johnson menacing family members in the 400 block of Merlee Circle. It was also reported that Johnson may have had a pistol in his possession.  Officers were advised Johnson is on probation and a stipulation of that probation is he is to have no contact with the resident of that location.  When Officers arrived, they were informed, Johnson had left on a bicycle.  As a precaution, the residence was cleared, and officers attempted to locate Johnson in the area.  It was determined there was probable cause to arrest Johnson for Burglary in the First Degree, Menacing, and Probation Violation (Violating the No Contact Order).

A short time later, family members reported that Johnson had returned to the residence.  When officers approached the house, his bike was observed in the open garage and the only family member on scene exited the house saying he was inside. Officers set up a perimeter of the residence and made announcements at the door requesting Johnson exit the house. Johnson did not comply and would not speak with the officers.  Permission was granted by the homeowner for officers to enter the residence.

Additional units were requested and Oregon State Police Troopers, Jackson County Sherriff’s Patrol, K9, SWAT, and Negotiators responded.  Several attempts were made to negotiate with Johnson and resolve the situation.  Johnson refused to cooperate, even after being told he was under arrest.  Eventually, police personnel had to enter the residence and located Johnson hiding inside. He was taken into custody without further incident.

No injuries were reported to the officers or deputies on scene and Johnson was taken into custody uninjured. 

Johnson was later transported and lodged at the Jackson County Jail on the above charges. The Eagle Point Police Department would like to thank the Oregon State Police, the deputies, K9,  SWAT, and Negotiation units from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office for assisting with the resolution of this incident.
