Theft Suspect Taken Into Custody After K-9 Search

The suspect was also booked on an outstanding arrest warrant.

20-year old Javier Angel-Ornelas of Salem Oregon was arrested on several charges related to car break-ins.

(SALEM, Ore.) - A suspected car thief was arrested early this morning around 5:20 AM by Marion County Sheriffs deputies who responded to a report of a person breaking into cars parked along the 4200 block of Vicki Way NE in Salem. Lieutenant Dan Connor with the Marion County Sheriffs Office ways that while en-route, deputies were given a description of the involved subject.

"As Deputies were arriving in the area a male subject was seen matching the description of the possible suspect. As Deputies attempted to contact the man he took off running."

He says deputies chased the subject on foot through several backyards and down streets. Other deputies responded to assist in securing the area to prevent the suspects escape.

Deputy Jerry Wollenschaleger and his K-9 partner "Yo" also responded. Once they arrived on the scene a K-9 search began, Connor said.

"The K-9 and Deputies located a male subject hiding in the bushes alongside a house near the intersection of Hollywood Drive NE and Leafwood Drive NE."

"The subject refused to follow directions given by the Deputies to come out of the bushes. After being told that if he did not come out the K-9 would be sent in to find him the suspect still refused to come out."

Connor says Deputy Wollenschlaeger sent "Yo" in to assist in the apprehension of the subject. The subject resisted being taken into custody. With the assistance of K-9 "Yo" the suspect was eventually taken into custody.

20-year old Javier Angel-Ornelas of Salem Oregon was arrested for two counts of Criminal Mischief in the first degree, two counts of Unlawful Entry into a Motor Vehicle, one count of attempted Unauthorized use of a Motor Vehicle, two counts of Criminal Trespass in the second degree, one count of Theft in the second degree.

These charges were a result of the original car break-in calls and subsequent pursuit and K-9 search, Connor said. He was also booked on an outstanding arrest warrant.
