Salem Man Arrested After Sunriver Assault, Standoff

SUNRIVER, OR -- A Salem man spent Thursday night in the Deschutes County Jail, following a more than six-hour standoff in Sunriver. Sunriver Police and Sheriff's deputies responded to a call of an unprovoked assault Thursday afternoon, in the area of 3 Whistling Swan Lane. Alexander Eaton is accused of punching a man and threatening to kill him before running into a nearby vacant home.

When police arrived, just after 2:30 p.m., they issued a "shelter in place" alert to neighbors and tried to convince Eaton to come out. Deschutes County SWAT responded and eventually entered the home, taking the 32-year-old into custody shortly before 9 p.m.

Eaton is charged with Burglary, Assault and Trespassing. He's due in court Friday afternoon.
