California Man Arrested in Yachats
Another California man was arrested in Yachats Tuesday night. Lincoln County Dispatch received a 911 call that was just an open line with no caller on the phone. Voices could be heard in the background and the dispatch operator determined the nature of the call was someone in distress. Lincoln County Deputies arrived at the location and arrested 43 year old Brandon Ryan Holve. An investigation revealed that Holve entered the home unlawfully, but did not attempt to commit any other crimes. He was booked into Lincoln County Jail for First Degree Trespass. Bail was set at $15,000. Earlier in the evening Holve had been removed from businesses in Yachats by deputies, but said Holve’s conduct did not warrant criminal charges. Holve is the second California male to be arrested this week. On Saturday 37 year old Michael Gordon Richie of Forestville, California was arrested and charged with Burglary 1, and 5 other charges.
