Portland Police Arrest Three Suspects After Sending a Drone to the Crime Scene
A drone sent to a crime scene helped Portland Police arrest three suspects who highjacked a trailer at gunpoint last Thursday.
The incident happened at 8.12 p.m. when the owner of the trailer, Dustin Hilsenbeck, was held at gunpoint by two men and women while he was standing smoking a cigarette outside his trailer on Southeast Flavel Street.
Police spokesman Mike Benner said Hilsenbeck saw the trio walking towards him. He heard a gun being cocked, and when he turned around, he saw one of the men holding a gun pointed towards him.
‘Move Along” Trailer Owner is Told by Hijackers
The man told him to ‘move along.’ Hilsenbeck fled the scene and contacted the police who dispatched a drone to the crime scene. Police said the trailer was connected to a pickup truck that was driven away by two suspects, followed by the third suspect and another person in a stolen SUV.
Two men, Hovsep Agvinyan (50) and Jason Pruitt (48), and a woman, Deanna Drennan (31), were arrested on Thursday night and charged with first-degree robbery with a firearm, second-degree robbery with a firearm and the unauthorized use and possession of a stolen vehicle.
Police are still looking for a fourth suspect and anyone with information is requested to contact [email protected], case number 24-311274.
