Burglary Suspect Arrested For Weekend Assault

BEND, OR -- A Bend man stabbed during an alleged burglary in February was arrested again, over the weekend, on new charges. Bend Police say Blaise Butcher and another suspect assaulted a man in the Fred Meyer parking lot, Saturday evening, over a perceived road rage incident. During the fight, the victim grabbed a knife and Butcher reportedly continued the assault, saying he’d been stabbed before. The knife was not used, and the assault victim received minor injuries in the incident.


The two suspects left the area before police arrived, but witnesses were able to provide license plate information. Officers tracked down the vehicle registration and responded to Butcher’s home to take him into custody. He was arrested after a one-hour stand-off.


Officers continue to search for the second suspect, known at this time only as “Justin.”
