Marion County Deputies arrested two people after receiving a call that someone was stripping parts from a vehicle in southeast Salem, Sunday evening.

Deputy Jason Bernards got the call at 5:40pm. He drove to the area of Squirrel Hill Road and Delaney Road SE where he found a black 1994 Honda Civic partially hidden in blackberry bushes. A computer check revealed that the car was reported stolen from Portland. Evidence indicated that someone tried to remove stereo equipment from the dash.

Deputy Nicholas Hunter arrived to assist in looking for suspects. He located a male and female nearby. As he spoke with a female, the male suddenly ran away. Other deputies were called to assist and took the suspect into custody 10 minutes after the call.

Bradley R. Gesner, 27, was arrested for Unlawful Possession of a Stolen Vehicle, Possession of a Controlled Substance (Methamphetamine), Failure to register as a Sex Offender, and a warrant for violating a restraining order. Bradley provided no home address and was listed as transient. His bail is $285,000 and he is due in court at 3:00pm, today. (photo attached)

Tamara A. Dolan, 32, of Turner, was arrested on a parole violation warrant for Distribution of controlled Substance (Methamphetamine). She is being held without bail. (photo attached)

Both suspects were booked at the Marion County Jail.

In this investigation, deputies were aided by the initial call from an alert citizen. Please don't hesitate to call law enforcement whenever you see something out of the ordinary. Working together, our deputies want to make your community a safer place to live.
