Domestic Violence, Nov. 8

CBPD release – Coos Bay Police Department is seeking information from a potential witness of a Domestic Violence Incident that took place in the Parking Lot of CFN Fuel. On 11/06/21 Jeanette Dahm reported that she and her ex husband Robert Neilsen got into a dispute at around 1:30 PM while they were traveling through Coos Bay on their way home to Bandon. Ms. Dahm stated she and Mr. Neilsen were in her vehicle when they pulled into the CFN parking lot located at 525 N. Broadway, where the dispute escalated. Ms. Dahm stated she had pulled over at the location and told Mr. Neilsen to get out of her vehicle. However, Mr. Neilsen grabbed the keys from the ignition and got into the drivers side of the vehicle after he observed a man in a black lifted pickup truck nearby doing something with his cell phone. Ms. Dahm stated she had screamed for help, hoping to get someone’s attention and believed that the man in the black truck may have been calling the police. The Coos Bay Police Department never received a call regarding the dispute. Mr. Neilsen was later located in Bandon and taken into custody on charges of Domestic Strangulation and Kidnapping in the first degree. Anyone who may have witnessed this dispute, or has knowledge of the identity of the potential male witness associated with the lifted black pickup truck is being asked to contact the Coos Bay Police Department at 541-269-8911.
