A man was arrested Wednesday in connection with the Tuesday robbery of a Redmond jewelry store, while another suspect is still on the loose, the Redmond Police Department said.

Nathan Lee Danison, 34, was arrested Wednesday after police received information that two suspects wanted on felony warrants for parole violations were staying at a residence in Metolius.

The information was discovered during the investigation of the David Haffey Jewelry store robbery.

In addition to the jewelry store robbery, Danison had also been a suspect in a Saturday home invasion robbery in Redmond.

He was arrested without incident after leaving the Metolious residence. Police received additional information that the other suspect, Merton Gerald “Jerry” Bean, 43, was still in the residence.

Police surrounded the home and, after a few hours, entered the residence to find that Bean was gone.

Bean is considered armed and dangerous, and is described as a white man with green eyes and brown hair. He is 6 feet 2 inches tall and 175 pounds. In 1995, he was convicted of armed robbery.

Anyone with information about Bean’s whereabouts is asked to call 541-504-3400 or 541-693-6911.
