Bay Area Police Gazette J Jarvis Communications October 2013 E E R F Email: bayareapolicegazette@yahoo.com Serving Coos Bay, North Bend, Empire, Eastside, Charleston, Lakeside, Coquille, Bandon, & Myrtle Point CBPD—NBPD—CCSO—OSP Police Logs & Reports Most are entries off the various daily police logs $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); FBI (Portland office) - (503) 224-4181 (twenty four hours a day).

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.

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 on board a boat, including a way to communicate in the case of an emergency, 1085 So. 2nd Coos Bay All of your garden, farm, ranch, pet, needs in one location.
