The report was of a male suspect named Mike who had come to the residence and threatened the resident with a black semi-automatic handgun and a fixed-blade knife.

Mr. Kilcoyne re-affirmed what was initially reported and identified the suspect as 21 year old Bandon resident, Michael Baker. Mr. Kilcoyne was not injured in the incident. At approximately 0918 hours, Deputies and Officers relocated to 975 Grand Ave, Bandon, Coos County, OR and contacted the suspect who lived there.
