On the evening of October 28th, 2025 the Lincoln City Police Department began investigating a series of Restraining Order violations involving 44-year-old Jaret Reynolds, of Lincoln City, and developed Probable Cause to arrest him on these Mandatory Arrest crimes.
On October 29th, 2025 police located Reynolds and attempted to place him in custody. Reynolds, an experienced swimmer with an extensive history of violence, including currently being on Probation for violent crimes in Clatsop County, evaded capture again. During an approximate three hours standoff in the Siletz Bay and briefly out into the churning Pacific Ocean, Reynolds refused commands to exit the water and challenged Law Enforcement to enter the water to get him. Members of the Lincoln City Police Department, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, and Oregon State Police eventually were able to capture Reynolds and bring him to shore where he was handcuffed and medically cleared for transport to jail on numerous charges.
During this ordeal it is important to note that members of these Departments took extreme care to ensure the safety of all personnel present, given the safety issues of trying to take a hostile suspect into custody in the Siletz Bay. These efforts involved the presence of K9 Officers Sly and Nato, multiple aerial drones, Marine Units from both the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office and Oregon State Police, and the coordination between the Lincoln City Police Department, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police, Newport Police Department, North Lincoln Fire Rescue, and Pacific West Ambulance.
