Redmond, OR – On Tuesday, March 31, 2020, at 9:30 AM, Redmond Police responded to a reported burglary at Eagle Rock Apartments, 1612 SW Lava Ave.   A 911 caller reported a person had broken into his residence and he scared him away firing two rounds from a handgun. 

The fleeing suspect,  James Bonner III, a 26-year-old Redmond resident, was later located at the Obsidian Apartments, 1619 SW Obsidian Ave, and taken into custody without incident.  He was transported to the Deschutes County Adult Jail. 

Preliminary information indicates Mr. Bonner and the victim knew each other.  Bonner went to the victim’s residence and forced his way through a locked door.  After being threatened, the victim fired two warning shots into the floor of the apartment.  Bonner fled in a vehicle and was located by law enforcement at the Obsidian Apartment complex.   Drug activity does not appear to be a factor in this incident.
