The Oregon State Police today identified Jacob James Bowling as the man arrested in La Pine Monday night following a six-hour standoff.

Bowling, 28, was being held today without bail at the Deschutes County jail on outstanding out-of-county warrants and suspicion of reckless driving, according to the jail’s website.

Deschutes County Sheriff’s deputies told the Oregon State Police Monday afternoon they’d discovered several dead deer around La Pine. While investigating the deer a trooper saw a man driving a 2005 Jeep Liberty recklessly and tried to stop him.

The driver didn’t stop and led the trooper to a home in the 17000 block of Cosset Loop northeast of La Pine, where he ran from the SUV and went into the home, according to OSP. Around 4 p.m. OSP troopers and Sheriff’s deputies surrounded the house.

The OSP brought in SWAT troopers after learning Bowling’s 55-year-old mother was in the house, according to OSP. After phone negotiations failed to end the standoff, SWAT troopers executed a search warrant on the home and arrested Bowling around 10 p.m. without incident.

Bowling’s mother was treated for a minor injury sustained during a fall before troopers entered the home, according to OSP. Bowling was last known to live in Scappoose and had an outstanding felony warrant out of Clackamas County for a probation violation stemming from a third-degree robbery.

OSP Lt. Gregg Hastings said the dead deer and Bowling’s arrest were unrelated. He also declined to give the name of Bowling’s mother, saying she hadn’t been arrested.
