CBPD release. On April 17, 2018 at approximately 0610 hours, a male subject carrying a red brick marched up the front steps of City Hall and threw the brick through one of the large glass windows. The glass shattered everywhere and the brick continued inside the foyer area of City Hall, slightly damaging a wooden sculpture. The brick came to rest on the floor in the foyer area, but not before it slightly marred the tile floor. Coos Bay Police Officers responded to the foyer and looked around; however, the subject had already left the area. After reviewing surveillance video a description of the subject was obtained and within a few minutes the subject was located near the Coos Bay Library. The subject was identified as 35 year old, Michael Emory Dunn. Dunn admitted to throwing the brick through the glass window. He was taken into custody and charged with Criminal Mischief in the second degree. Prior to this incident, Officers were dispatched to a local downtown business, Bay Area Appliance, for a similar report of a broken glass window which had likely been caused by a rock or brick being thrown through it. When Officers questioned Dunn about the incident he also admitted to causing that damage as well. He was subsequently charged with two counts of Criminal Mischief in the second degree and transported to Coos County Jail, where his probation officer also placed an additional probation violation hold on him. Dunn was later released from jail and was re-contacted by a Coos Bay Police Officer. During that contact, Dunn admitted to two additional crimes of Criminal Mischief that he caused toward two downtown businesses last week. Dunn will be referred to the District Attorney’s Office on those additional crimes.
