Two Accused of Brutal 2022 Assault

REDMOND, OR -- An Idaho man accused of a brutal attack in Eagle Crest last May, will soon be back in Oregon to face charges. Daniel Chamberlain was recently arrested in Utah. 

The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office believes he and Tasheena Lang, of Independence, OR, broke into the hotel room of a Tennessee man while he slept,  sprayed him with bear mace and beat him with a golf club before stealing his phone. The previous night, investigators say, the pair smashed out the windows of the victim's car while it was parked at the hotel.

Sergeant Jason Wall admits the investigation has taken months, "This is a very convoluted case from the beginning. The victim and the suspects were known to each other. And they also live out of the area; two of which lived out of state, so it took a long time to track those individuals down and compile a comprehensive investigation." He tells KBND News, "Together with the video surveillance, victim statements and video surveillance from the prior evening’s vandalism to the victim’s vehicle, investigators were able to narrow down their suspect pool and then start using other investigative tactics to develop specifically who had committed the assault and burglary."
Wall calls this an "isolated incident" involving co-workers. All three worked together on a traveling show being held at the fairgrounds at the time. 

Lang and Chamberlain were indicted in October on multiple charges, including Burglary and Assault. Lang voluntarily appeared in court late last year and has a trial date in May. Chamberlain awaits extradition from Utah; it's unclear how soon before he returns to Deschutes County.
