Two La Pine Men Cited After Confrontation With Protester

BEND, OR -- Saturday evening a confrontation at a demonstration at Wall and Greenwood in Bend led to charges against two men from LaPine.  A passenger in a pickup truck yelled something derogatory to 29-year-old Andrew John Heller who was taking part in the demonstration. Heller followed the truck on his bicycle and caught up with the men at Wall and Franklin.  The passenger, 37-year-old Darrell Goddard, opened his door into Heller causing him to fall off his bike. Then the driver, 50-year-old Robert Thompson, got out of the truck and pointed a handgun at Heller who was lying on the ground. The two men both got back in the truck and fled. Bend Police caught up with them about a mile away where they were cited in lieu of custody on charges including Assault and Menacing.
