At about 4 p.m. on Jan. 17, 2021,  Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Patrol deputies responded to a residence on Old Barn Ln. in Damascus to make an arrest on a warrant.  The subject at the location they were attempting to arrest was John Rendenbo, who was wanted for a parole violation stemming from an Assault II charge. 

Deputies saw Redenbo at the residence before he went inside and barricaded himself. Deputies attempted contact with Redenbo, but they were unsuccessful. 

At about 6 p.m., two people came out of the house. One of them was identified as Sade Cleora Geraldine Hollis, 29, of Damascus, who had a warrant for Failing to Appear on an Identity Theft charge out of Washington County.   

Based on the situation and the seriousness of the criminal charge, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) Team was consulted, and they responded to the scene at about 7 p.m. 

Members of the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Crisis Negotiations Team responded to the scene, as well, and began attempting communication with Redenbo.  They were initially able to communicate wtih somone inside the residence, but Redenbo ignored their attempts to speak with him.

At about 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 18, SWAT team members were able to take Redenbo into custody without further incident. 

John Redenbo, 59, of Damascus, was transported to the Clackamas County Jail and booked on a no bail parole violation. 

This was a successful mission, with no one injured and the suspect safely arrested.

Sheriff's Office detectives are now investigating possible weapons charges against Redenbo.
