Sisters man arrested for post-party burglary

Deschutes County Sheriff's Deputies arrested 23-year-old Keenan Richard Elbers of Sisters on Saturday night, December 20, after he allegedly broke into a Sisters residence.

According to police, Elbers broke into the occupied residence at 68790 Junipine Lane through the front door.

The 60-year-old homeowner, Frederick J. Fishbach, along with a family member, physically restrained Elbers and kept him from fleeing the scene, according to sheriff's office reports.

Sheriff's deputies and Black Butte Ranch Police responded to the scene and took Elbers into custody on charges of first-degree burglary and second-degree criminal mischief.

According to the sheriff's office, Elbers had been attending a party in the area. Deputies reported that "there was no clear reason for the home invasion. Alcohol was believed to be a contributing factor to this crime."

Other than the break-in itself, no other crimes were committed, deputies reported.

Elbers was lodged at Deschutes County Jail.
