News release from the Lincoln Co. Sheriff’s Office. On Monday morning, the 27th of October, 2014, a Depoe Bay resident reported waking in the night to find a male subject in her bedroom, rummaging through a file cabinet. The resident confronted the male who was in the process of stealing prescription medications and the two struggled in the doorway of the bedroom. A neighbor heard the disturbance and came to the resident’s aid, and the two were able to push the male out of the bedroom and then outside of the home. Both the resident and their neighbor recognized the male as a past acquaintance; 46 year old Kelly NORRIS, of Depoe Bay. Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputies located NORRIS at his residence and arrested him on charges relating to the incident. NORRIS was lodged at the Lincoln County jail on charges of Burglary I, Robbery II, and Theft II and is being held on $260.000 bail. Norris was not armed, but the resident sustained a minor injury to her arm during the struggle.
