Man arrested after search

Sheriff's deputies arrested a Salem man January 28 after an alleged burglary attempt in Redmond.

According to sheriff's office reports, dispatchers alerted deputies that a suspect in an attempted burglary had fled Redmond in the direction of Sisters.

One deputy spotted the suspect vehicle heading west on Highway 126. It was the only car on the road. The deputy alerted a back-up officer from Black Butte Ranch, who picked up the vehicle coming into Sisters.

When the Black Butte officer pulled out behind the suspect vehicle, the suspect allegedly took evasive action and lost the officer.

The deputy returned to Sisters and, together with the Black Butte Ranch officer, searched the area. They located the suspect in the parking lot at Mountain High Apartments.

The driver was allegedly intoxicated and failed a field sobriety test. He was arrested for drunk driving and driving on a suspended license. The police also allegedly found narcotics paraphernalia and white powder wrapped in clear plastic in the vehicle.
