Man Arrested After Highway 97 Standoff

A 24-year-old man from The Dalles was taken into custody on Wednesday after a standoff that closed Highway 97 six miles south of Biggs Junction for about four hours.  According to the Oregon State Police, a trooper checked on a van parked along the highway and was advised it had been reported as stolen late last week.  The occupant of the van, Dean Allen Bromley, initially complied with officers’ orders to exit the van, but then jumped backed in and would not come out.  An OSP SWAT team was brought in with an armored vehicle that allowed them safe access to the van and Bromley, and deployed chemicals agents to get him to exit the vehicle.  Bromley was lodged at the Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facility in The Dalles on one count of Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle.
