Bend Man Arrested After Several Hit & Run Crashes and a Pursuit
Deschutes Co. Sheriff's Office
About 30 minutes earlier, the Bend Police Department was also investigating another hit and run crash at Jake's Diner in the City of Bend. The victim in that crash provided a description of the truck and driver that matched this same truck in Tumalo. During the investigation, it was determined this was indeed the same truck and driver.
A DCSO Deputy Sheriff attempted to stop the Chevrolet and a pursuit ensued through Tumalo and onto southbound Highway 97 from Tumalo Rd. The Chevrolet was damaged from the previous crashes and never exceeded 55mph.
The Chevrolet driver began driving towards the City of Bend where waiting DCSO Sheriff Deputies deployed spike strips at the Highway 97 and Cooley Rd intersection. The spikes are designed to puncture and slowly flatten tires when a vehicle is driven over them. In this case, the spike strips were successfully deployed and all four of the Chevrolet’s tires deflated, bringing the truck to a safe stop prior to the Robal Rd intersection.
After the truck stopped, DCSO Deputies, with the assistance of Oregon State Police Troopers and Bend Police Officers, conducted a high risk vehicle stop. The driver and sole occupant, Randall Richard Kilby, age 34, of Bend, Oregon was arrested without further incident. Highway 97 was briefly closed during the stop. No injuries were reported.
Kilby was lodged in the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Jail on the following charges;
