$10,000 Reward Offered
in IED Investigation in
Coos Bay
The FBI is offering a reward of up to
$10,000 for information leading to the
identification, arrest, and conviction of
the person or people responsible for two
improvised explosive devices (IED's)
left at a Coos Bay park and at the Prayer
Chapel in Coos Bay, Oregon. The FBI,
the Coos Bay Police Department
(CBPD), and Oregon State Police (OSP)
are working jointly to determine who
created and placed the IED's at these
locations. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)
and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service
are also providing assistance. Late in
the evening of August 22, 2013, an IED
detonated at the base of the Mingus Park
Vietnam War Memorial. On September
3, 2013, someone placed another IED
inside the Prayer Chapel at Second
Street and Commercial Avenue in Coos
Bay. The Coos Bay Fire Department and
OSP Hazardous Device Technicians
were able to disrupt that explosive before it detonated. At this time, it is not
known if the same person or group is
responsible for both IED's. The investigation into both incidents is continuing
to be addressed by federal, state, and
local personnel. At the time of arrest, the
United States Attorney's Office for the
District of Oregon and the District Attorney's Office for Coos County will work
together to determine which court system is the most appropriate forum for
prosecution based on the facts of the
case, the motive involved, and other
factors. The FBI's participation in this
case stems from the Church Arson Prevention Act (CAPA), which makes it a
violation of federal law to intentionally
deface, damage, or destroy any religious
real property because of the religious
character of that property (or to attempt
to do so). The maximum penalty for
violation of the CAPA is 20 years in
prison. The Coos Bay Police Department has released a sketch of a person
believed to have been in the vicinity of
the Prayer Chapel shortly before the IED
was found there. Witnesses described
that person as a white man, approximately 55 years old, 5'6" - 5'7" tall, and
about 150 pounds with a shaved head.
That sketch is attached. Anyone with
information is asked to contact the FBI
or the Coos Bay Police Department:
Coos Bay Police Department - (541) 269
-8911; FBI (Eugene office) - (541) 3435222 (during normal business hours);

morial is not resolved quickly. The
Coos Bay Police Department, Oregon
State Police and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation are continuing to pursue
numerous leads developed during the
investigation. Additionally, evidence
from the devices is currently being analyzed by both the Oregon State Police
and the FBI Crime Laboratories. The
City of Coos Bay recognizes that the
discussion regarding the placement of
the Veteran’s Memorial is an inherently
emotional one that evokes passionate
discussion. It is important to remember,
however, that those conversations
should be responsible and peaceful in
nature. Furthermore, the Coos Bay Police Department cautions members of the
public against taking matters into their
own hands or inciting a violent response.
Anyone with information regarding the
two destructive device incidents mentioned above or the recently received
letters claiming responsibility is encouraged to call the Coos Bay Police Department at (541)269-8911 or Coos Stop

News release from the Coos Co. Sheriff's Office. "On 9-11-13 at
1500 hours the Coos County Sheriff’s Office responded to a location in Coos County off of Daniels Creek identified as Wren Smith
Road. This location is BLM forest lands. The reason the Sheriff’s
Office went to the location was regarding an illegal camping complaint observed by a citizen. It was relayed that an open fire was at
the location and three people had set up camp in the heavily
wooded area. Upon investigation Wanda Lee Davis 51 YOA of
Coos Bay, and two other adults were located. The fire was extinguished and Deputies learned that Ms. Davis was on felony probation for narcotics. A search of Ms. Davis’s belongings revealed
methamphetamine paraphernalia. Also seized was just over 3.05
pounds of marijuana being reduced into hashish oil. Ms. Davis
was arrested without incident and transported to the Coos County
Jail. The two additional adults will be referred to the Coos County
District Attorney’s Office for drug charges. The Sheriff’s Office
urges the public to refrain from having open fires outside of improved campgrounds during the peak of fire season. Burning
regulations can be found on the Coos Forest Protective Association website at www.coosfpa.net."

Coast Guard Motor Life
Boat crew medevacs
man from fishing vessel
off Coos Bay
The Coast Guard medically evacuated a
fisherman who had suffered from possible internal injuries approximately 40
nautical miles west of Coos Bay, Sunday. The American Triumph, a 285-foot
commercial fishing and processing vessel, contacted the Coast Guard at approximately 3:30 p.m. to request a
medevac of a 37-year-old male crewmember. Coast Guard Sector North
Bend dispatched a 47-foot Motor Life
Boat crew from Coast Guard Station
Coos Bay. An EMT from a Bay City
ambulance accompanied the crew to
assist. The boat crew met the American
Triumph and transferred the man to
awaiting emergency medical services at
the station. He was taken by ambulance
in stable condition to Bay Area Hospital,
where he was treated and released.
Coast Guard rescues 2
boaters, dog, near Gold
Beach
A crew aboard a 25-foot Response Boat
– Small from Coast Guard Search and
Rescue Detachment Rouge River and an
MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from
Coast Guard Air Station North Bend
rescued two stranded boaters and their
dog from Pyramid Rock, northwest of
Gold Beach, Wednesday. The two boaters and their dog were safely hoisted by
the Dolphin crew and flown to Gold
Beach where they were released with
only minor injuries. The RB-S crew
successfully towed the boaters' 22-foot
boat to Gold Beach where it was returned. The crew at Detachment Rouge
River received a call from the boaters at
2:20 p.m. stating that they had gone
aground on Pyramid Rock. The crew
launched their RB-S, but was unable to
safely get to the boaters due to the shallow waters. Because of the instability of
the grounded boat, the boaters left their
boat and climbed on top of the rock.
The Dolphin crew was launched from
North Bend and safely hoisted the two
boaters. While waiting for the helicopter
to rescue the boaters, their boat floated
free from the rocks and was taken into
tow by the RB-S crew. “Without the
boaters call for help, we may never have
known they were in need of help until
they were reported missing,” said Petty
Officer 1st Class Robert Dash, an operations specialist at Coast Guard Sector
North Bend. “Having proper safety gear

bruises. There was no pollution released

Salmon Snagging
Complaint on North
Oregon Coast
Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers
cited two men Friday after receiving
reports they were snagging Chinook
salmon in Three Rivers near Hebo in
Tillamook County. The area where the
complaints were reported is near the
Cedar Creek Fish Hatchery (http://
bit.ly/1dT46T8) where fish are pooled
up for hatchery production. According
to Sergeant Todd Hoodenpyl, on September 6, 2013, OSP received two angling complaints of snagging Chinook
salmon near the hatchery. A landowner
filmed the two suspects as they snagged
salmon using a hand line and treble
hook, but before an OSP Fish & Wildlife
(F&W) trooper could make contact, the
two suspects left the scene. Information
regarding the suspects and their vehicle
was provided to OSP troopers and area
law enforcement agencies. An OSP Patrol Services Division trooper out of
McMinnville spotted the suspect vehicle
World Pawn Exchange
on Highway 18 near milepost 28 and
stopped it. The OSP F&W trooper from
Tillamook who was responding to the
original complaint went to the traffic
stop scene to continue the investigation.
Subsequent investigation and search led
to the discovery of 8 Chinook salmon in
a cooler covered by clothing. The two
suspects were identified as FERNANDO
PATRICIO-MEDINA, age 30, and
CHRISTIAN PATRICIO-AVILA, age
30, both from Tualatin. They were cited
and released to appear on the following
charges: * Trespassing on a Fish Weir;
* Angling Closed Stream (2 counts); *
Angling Prohibited Method to wit:
Snagging (9 counts); * Unlawful Taking
of Chinook Salmon to wit: Closed
Stream (9 counts); * Aiding in a Wildlife Crime. "We appreciate the help of
local residents to help identify and find
these two suspects," said Hoodenpyl.
"This is a great case as we had received
a complaint of these subjects being on
Three Rivers snagging fish earlier in the
week."
