After a Coos County Sheriff’s Deputy observed an individual walking down the middle of Kellogg Lane in Coos Bay just before 6:00pm, on Monday, July 24th, the Deputy stopped the individual and warned him not to walk in the roadway.
The Deputy recognized the individual as Christopher S. Chamberlain after studying the individuals face, who had an active nationwide extraditable warrant for his involvement in an Attempted Murder and Kidnapping case.
Despite Mr. Chamberlain’s best efforts to conceal his identity from Deputy Smith, he ultimately decided to run and was pursued by the Deputy warning Chamberlain he could be tased if he did not stop.
With additional Officers and a possible K9 responding to the location, the Deputy stopped briefly so he could help in the likely upcoming search for Mr. Chamberlain.
During this brief moment, a bystander that watched the whole incident unravel, pulled up to the Deputy in his vehicle and provided him a ride to Mr. Chamberlain’s last known location, a forested area, where he was seen diving into the brush.
Mr. Chamberlain was quickly taken into custody and taken to the Coos County Jail where he is being held awaiting extradition to Colorado. In addition to the warrant, Mr. Chamberlain will be charged locally for Escape in the 3rd degree and providing False Information to a Police Officer.
