NBPD Robbery Report, Dec. 12

Robbery North Bend
Early this morning, Wednesday, December 11, 2019 at 4:47 AM, a 50-year-old man arrived early for a work-crew pick-up at the North Bend Annex and fell asleep in the alcove at the front doors. Two North Bend men, 21-year-old Michael McKinney and 34-year-old Richard Nolan, approached the man, struck him in the head with an unknown object, and tried to take his bicycle. They fled the scene without the bike. The victim dialed 911 for help. Night-shift officers, Sergeant Ryan Doyle and Officer Patrick Kinney, both seasoned officers and investigators, quickly arrived on scene to take the report. The victim refused medical attention. An expedient neighborhood canvas identified a nearby home where the suspects fled. Physical evidence and positive identification by the victim led to the arrest of the two men, who later admitted their involvement to officers. The two men were taken to the Coos County Jail on charges of robbery in the second degree, a Measure 11 felony.
