Man arrested in assault on Redmond hospital security guard, wife
REDMOND, Ore. Jan 24 2019
A Sisters man was arrested Tuesday after allegedly assaulting a St. Charles Redmond security guard, prompting a security lockout at the hospital, and later trying to strangle his wife and attacking a garbage truck driver who tried to intervene, police said.
The hospital was in lockout for about a half-hour Tuesday morning after the suspect, Scott Bulloch, 37, entered through the Emergency Department and assaulted a security guard who was attempting to escort him out of the building, causing minor injuries but significant damage to the hospital.
Redmond police Lt. Curtis Chambers said officers were called to the emergency room around 6:45 a.m. after Bullock “displayed threatening and tumultuous behavior and ultimately damaged property while in the building.”
He’s accused of kicking and punching several holes in the hospital walls.
“The gentleman did come into our facility looking for someone in particular,” St. Charles public information officer Lisa Goodman said.
“When he couldn’t find that person, he became agitated,” she said. As a guard tried to escort Bulloch out of the hospital, she said, “he was involved in an altercation with a security guard, after which time he did leave.”
Goodman said the security guard’s injuries did not require medical attention and security precautions remained in place at entrances until Bulloch was found and taken into police custody.
