BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — A police K-9’s bite helped Bend police arrest a wanted Bend man found hiding in a northeast Bend backyard during an extensive search Tuesday afternoon.

Around 10:30 Monday morning, officers responded to a report of a man brandishing a firearm at another person at the Quickway Market parking lot on NE Butler Market Road, Bend Police Communications Manager Sheila Miller said.

The suspect, identified as 27-year-old Joel Twobulls Caubet of Bend, and a woman fled the scene in a red 1997 Land Rover, Miller said.  

Around 1:40 p.m. Tuesday, officers spotted the suspect’s vehicle traveling on Third Street near Empire Avenue, with Caubet in the passenger seat.

The driver went through neighborhoods before Caubet ran from the vehicle near the intersection of NE Boulderfield Avenue and Meridian Place, Miller said.  

Officers detained the driver of the Land Rover, identified as 27-year-old Marjorie Deleen Eyle, also of Bend. Miller said she was cited for reckless driving and released at the scene. 

Officers set up a perimeter in the area and used drones and police K-9 Buck to search for Caubet, who was seen trying to enter a backyard in the area.  

Around 2:30 p.m., officers found Caubet hiding in the backyard of a home in the 63000 block of Meridian Place. K-9 Buck bit Caubet, who was taken into custody without further incident.

Miller said Caubet was taken to St. Charles Bend with minor injuries and will be lodged at the Deschutes County Jail on two counts of menacing, second-degree disorderly conduct, unlawful use of a weapon, felon in possession of a weapon and trespassing.

A detective also located a replica handgun at the intersection of NE Peale Street and Boulderfield Avenue. Â
