SISTERS, OR -- A Washington man faces numerous charges after deputies say he robbed someone at one Sisters-area homeless camp and destroyed a tent in another. 

At about 8 a.m. Tuesday, Deschutes County deputies were dispatched to the Mainline Station convenience store. Staff reported a man had made concerning comments about houseless camps across Highway 20 in the adjacent Forest Service land. 

Deputies arrived and identified the man as 42-year-old s Dana Roy. They talked to him, but eventually determined there was no probable cause for an arrest at that time. 

As they talked to people in some of the homeless camps near the area, DCSO says deputies believed Roy had approached a man at his camp, pointed what appeared to be a handgun and later brandished a knife, ordering the victim to give him two backpacks and his sleeping bag, which the man did. Roy reportedly took those items and went to another camp and slashed a tarp, a tent and ransacked the camp. Deputies searched the area and recovered the two stolen backpacks and the sleeping bag, which had been abandoned in the forest.  

Deputies re-contacted Roy, who was still in the area, and arrested him without incident.  He faces various charges including robbery, menacing and theft. The gun was later determined to have been an airsoft gun and has not been recovered.
