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

ing to solicit sex online, ac-

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.
