A Coos County man wanted by authorities was arrested following a burglary investigation, the Coos County Sheriff's Office said.
Around 7:30 a.m. Monday, Coos County Dispatch Center received a call about two concerned citizens following a possible burglary suspect in the area of Highway 101 and Hauser Depot Road in North Bend.
Deputies and an Oregon State Police trooper contacted the suspect, Jeffery Ross, 40, of Coos County.
Ross had active warrants for his arrest and was a convicted felon supervised by Coos County Parole and Probation.
"During the search of Ross, Deputy Sattler located a spring-assisted knife," CCSO's report stated. "Oregon Law restricts convicted felons from possessing such a weapon."
Deputies learned that Ross had broken into a shop building and stolen some tools and other items.
"When the concerned citizens confronted Ross, he hid the items hoping to retrieve them later," police said. "All items were recovered and returned to the owner of the shop."
Ross was arrested on his active warrants and new charges of Burglary in the 2nd degree, Theft in the 2nd degree, two counts of Criminal Trespass, and Felon in Possession of a Restricted Weapon.
His Parole and Probation officer issued a hold due to his criminal behavior.
Ross was transported to the Coos County Jail, where he was booked and lodged.
"Thank you to the Coos County Dispatchers, Deputy Smith, and Reserve Deputy Sattler for a well-done job—also, a big thank you to Trooper Mullins for the assistance," CCSO said.
