On March 25th, 2024, around 9:04 p.m., Deputy Z. Smith was conducting a search for a wanted individual at the Huckleberry Hill trailer park in Coos Bay when he encountered a disturbance within a motorhome. Upon investigation, Deputy Smith engaged with two individuals, one identified as a 34-year-old male, later confirmed to be Kenneth Bastendorff. Initially, Mr. Bastendorff provided false information to disguise his identity. Deputy Smith knew Mr. Bastendorff was listed as detainable by Coos County Parole and Probation. Despite multiple opportunities to rectify his information, Mr. Bastendorff persisted in his deception until dispatch confirmed that he had an outstanding felony warrant. Subsequently, he conceded to his true identity. Mr. Bastendorff was taken into custody on charges of the active warrant, a probation violation detainer, and providing false information to a peace officer. He was then transported and booked into Coos County Jail.
