Wanted Man Caught Off China Hat Road

BEND, OR -- A man wanted by at least three law enforcement agencies was arrested late Monday, following a search effort south of Bend. 

Sheriff's deputies tried to pull over a vehicle after they say it abruptly turned from China Hat Road into the Deschutes National Forest, at about 9:20 p.m. The driver jumped out and ran through the woods. Deputies later identified the suspect as 35-year-old Jonathan Hurlbut, who was wanted in Deschutes County for Theft. Bend Police were also looking for Hurlbut in connection with a theft. And, State Police had probably cause to arrest him for Felony Elude.

With the help of K-9s Vinnie and Buck, and a Bend Police drone, deputies tracked Hurlbut to a trailer near milepost three of China Hat. He was taken into custody just after 11 p.m. without further incident.
