On April 2nd, 2026, Sheriff’s Deputies, along with members from the Coos County Sheriff’s Office Civil Department, responded to 2398 Broadway Ave, Unit N, North Bend, Oregon 97459 to process an eviction.

Upon arrival, deputies were met at the door by Jimmy R. Oiterong (27) of North Bend, who was in possession of a compound bow with an arrow notched and threatening to shoot Deputies. During the incident, deputies deployed less lethal rounds from a bean bag shotgun. Mr. Oiterong fired an arrow from his bow at deputies, nearly striking two of them.

The Coos County Emergency Response Team (ERT) responded to the location and deployed chemical munitions into the Unit. Jimmy R. Oiterong eventually fled out the back of the residence and was pursued by Officers and taken into custody with the assistance of a Coos Bay Police Department K9 Unit.

Mr. Oiterong was transported to Bay Area Hospital for medical evaluation and then to the Coos County Jail. Mr. Oiterong was booked on charges of Attempted Murder, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Menacing, Elude on Foot, Resisting arrest and Reckless Endangering. Additional charges are possible.

The Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the agencies that assisted and commend the Coos County Emergency Response Team on a safe and positive outcome to this situation.
