BEND, OR -- A 38-year-old wanted man from Turner, Oregon was arrested Friday afternoon in Bend, during a multi-agency operation. Ryan Gossett has three outstanding warrants for Robbery from Marion County. At about 2:30 p.m., the U.S. Marshals Service notified the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office Gossett was likely in Bend and possibly armed.

Through a surveillance operation, deputies, detectives and members of the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement team determined Gossett and a woman were together at the Cascade Village Shopping Center. 

Officials say they saw the woman in a vehicle associated with Gossett; she circled the shopping center several times, in what they believed to be "counter-surveillance." Just before 4:45 p.m., Gossett came out of a store, the woman moved into the passenger's seat and he took over as driver. DCSO used patrol cars to pin in the suspect vehicle and arrested Gossett.

According to DCSO, he was armed with a handgun and a "criminal quantity of suspected fentanyl" at the time of his arrest. He was booked into the Deschutes County Jail on the outstanding warrant and several new charges. The woman was released.
