WANTED MAN ARRESTED AFTER RUNNING FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT - kqennewsradio.com
A wanted Washington County man was arrested and lodged in the Douglas County Jail following a short vehicle pursuit and subsequent manhunt, on Monday.
Lieutenant Brad O’Dell of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said shortly before 10:00 a.m., 911 dispatchers received a call from a man at Toketee Falls reporting he had observed a man loitering in the parking lot next to the caller’s vehicle with a jug filled with yellow liquid. The caller later discovered that the fuel lines to his vehicle had been cut. The caller observed the suspect leave in a silver pickup.
O’Dell said a deputy responded to take the report. While the deputy was obtaining information from the victim, a Forest Service law enforcement officer observed the suspect vehicle a short distance away. Law enforcement learned that suspect vehicle had previously been reported stolen out of Beaverton.
O’Dell said law enforcement attempted to conduct a traffic stop but the suspect vehicle fled towards Highway 138E. After a brief pursuit, the suspect pulled over in the middle of the westbound lane of the highway and ran from the car and swam across the North Umpqua River.
The report said a perimeter was established and K9 Eros was dispatched to the scene. K9 Eros tracked the suspect’s scent down a trail eastbound from the point where he was last seen, locating several articles of the suspect’s clothing. O’Dell said another deputy assigned to the Diamond Lake area, was staged holding perimeter at the opposite end of the trail. Eventually the suspect walked toward the staged deputy’s location and was taken into custody without further incident.
O’Dell said the man initially refused to identify himself and denied any involvement in the incident. After being taken to jail, he was identified as 29-year old Aubra Rasmussen of Beaverton. Rasmussen had four warrants for his arrest out of Washington County. In addition, he was charged with attempt to elude police in a vehicle and on foot, possession of a stolen vehicle, reckless driving, second-degree criminal mischief and third-degree theft. Bail was set at $157,500.
