Over the past week, Adams pursued the detective believing he was the young girl and sent sexual photographs and mes- sages via social media, accord- ing to the drug enforcement team. Adams allegedly continued to solicit sex and offered the supposed minor meth- amphet- amine. The detec- tives, posing Adams as the young girl, arranged to meet Adams Friday in Bend. At about 12:15 p.m. Friday, detectives and Bend Police officers contacted Adams in downtown Bend at the corner of Wall Street and Franklin Av- enue. Adams was arrested and found to be in possession of methamphetamine and other relevant evidence in this case, according to the drug enforce- ment team. Authorities believe Adams may have been in contact with actual minors in Central Ore- gon over social media. Parents and minors are asked to report any contact with Adams on social media to local law enforcement, school resource officers or online with the National Center for Miss- ing & Exploited Children at www.cybertip.org Adams was booked in De- schutes County jail on charges of luring a minor, online cor- ruption of a child, attempted delivery of a controlled sub- stance, unlawful delivery of methamphetamine and at- tempted unlawful contact with a child. Man sentenced to 20 years for fatally shooting man A Fruitland, Idaho, man was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Friday in the shooting death of a man across the Oregon border in Ontario. According to court docu- ments, Jaime Anthony Esc- obedo fatally shot Larry Fuen- tes Jr., 38, of Portland, in a restaurant parking lot. As part of a plea deal, Esc- obedo, 43, pleaded guilty April 30 to manslaughter on the basis of having intentionally caused the death of the victim while under extreme emo- tional disturbance. On Nov. 18, 2018, Ontario Police officers were called to the restaurant over a dispute between two men. Officers then learned a man was shot. A lengthy police pursuit fol- lowed the shooting, in which Escobedo was still armed and told police on the phone that he intended to kill himself un- less they stopped following him. Police from Nyssa, Oregon eventually took him into cus- tody without incident. — Bulletin staff and wire reports Prineville man accused of luring minor with meth A 35-year-old Prineville man was arrested on suspicion of luring a minor after attempt- ing to solicit sex online, ac- cording to the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement Team. A detective on the drug en- forcement team posed as a 14-year-old girl on social me- dia and randomly contacted Patrick James Adams, a reg- istered sex offender who is prohibited from contacting minors. bendbulletin.com Classified ......................................541-385-5809 Advertising fax ..........................541-385-5802 Other information ....................541-382-1811 OBITUARIES Call to ask about deadlines, Monday- Friday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. ............541-385-5809 OTHER SERVICES Back issues ................................541-385-5800 Photo reprints .........................541-383-0366 Apply for a job ........................541-383-0340 All Bulletin payments are accepted at the drop box at City Hall or at The Bulletin, P.O.
