BEND, OR -- A 42-year-old from Idaho was arrested on the roof of a Bend garage Sunday afternoon, after a car chase that started near Millican. Deschutes County deputies first responded to a report of a reckless driver speeding westbound on Highway 20, at about 12:30 p.m. With help from OSP, they tried to pull the SUV over, but the driver refused to stop.

The pursuit was discontinued when he entered Bend. Just after 1 p.m., the suspect vehicle ran over spike strips on Brookswood Blvd, but the driver still refused to stop. Eventually, the vehicle crossed into oncoming traffic and ran into another vehicle, sending two people to the hospital.

The suspect, later identified as Nicholas Wood, ran from the crash and climbed on top of a detached garage on SW Sunny Way, leading to a two-hour standoff. Bend Police and DCSO deputies used multiple "less-lethal" options to try to pursuade Wood to come down, including firing pepper balls onto the roof. He was taken into custody just after 3:30 p.m.

A Bend Fire ladder truck was used to bring Wood off the roof. He was taken to the hospital for evaluation before getting booked into the jail on charges of Assault, Hit and Run, Reckless Endangering and Elude. 
Brookswood was closed between Murphy and Reed Mkt Road for several hours.
