Dutch Bros Theft Leads To Arrest of Wanted Man

On Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at approximately 5:00AM, Lincoln City Police Officers were dispatched to the report of a burglary alarm at Dutch Bros Coffee. As officers responded to the scene, they saw a male with a large backpack and a large bag of cans riding away from the area on a bicycle. Officers arrived at Dutch Bros and found the storage unit for the business was open, despite the business itself being closed. The male previously seen riding a bike from the area was located and detained. He was identified as 35-year-old Jesse Oglend, of Lincoln City.

Police investigation showed Oglend had entered the business, stolen several flats of "Rebel" energy drink, and taken a large bag of empty cans. Officers also found a spring-assisted folding knife and a pipe containing methamphetamine on him, and learned that Oglend had a warrant for his arrest out of Linn County for Failure to Appear on a previous felony Theft. He was taken into custody and lodged at the Lincoln County Jail on charges of Theft in the Second Degree, Burglary in the Second Degree, Giving False Information to a Peace Officer, Possession of Weapons by Certain Felons, and Possession of a Controlled Substance, as well as for the outstanding warrant.

The Lincoln City Police Department would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to be vigilant and lock their cars, residences, and business doors, and we recommend the installation of motion-sensitive lights, cameras, or alarms to deter this type of crime. Most burglaries and thefts from vehicles and buildings in Lincoln City occur when the locks are not secured, so a locked door or window can be a simple way to prevent this kind of crime from happening to you.
