BEND, OR -- A Bend man is accused of Kidnapping and other charges after what police are calling a "hostage situation." Bend Police responded to a home on Alpine Drive, Saturday night, for a reported unwanted person. The suspect, identified as 36-year-old Austin Michael Supica, reportedly refused to leave and threatened to shoot himself with a flare gun. Witnesses told officers Supica had been asked to leave earlier in the evening, but returned and forced his way inside. 

When officers arrived at about 9 p.m., two people were able to leave, but Supica allegedly refused to allow a third person to exit. Police say he repeatedly refused to come out and continued to prevent another person from leaving. The Central Oregon Emergency Response Team was activated and arrived just after 10 p.m. 

The alleged hostage escaped the home at 10:34 p.m. while the suspect was using the bathroom. Once Supica was the only person remaining in the house, CERT negotiators talked him out, and he was taken into custody without incident at 10:45. 

He was jailed on charges of first-degree kidnapping, first-degree burglary and a felony in-state warrant.
