Burglary Suspect Identified

Hood River Police released the identity of the burglary suspect who remained in a motel room for over four hours Wednesday afternoon after fleeing an attempt by officers to arrest him.  Hood River Police Chief Neal Holste says 26-year-old Pedro Ayala-Solorio Jr. was lodged at NORCOR on burglary, theft, and criminal mischief charges in connection with a burglary January 14 at Cascade Chevron that included the theft of a large number of lottery tickets.  Ayala had several lottery tickets in his possession when contacted by officers on Wednesday, and a search of his room at the Lone Pine Motel yielded over $2,000 worth of tickets.  After being advised he was under arrest for burglary, Holste said Ayala ran from the police, grabbed an object he claimed was a firearm, and barricaded himself in his room.  After the Northern Oregon Regional Tactical Response Team spent four-and-a-half hours using verbal negotiations, tactical tools, and pepper spray, Ayala surrendered.
