MAN ARRESTED IN APARTMENT STORAGE UNIT BURGLARIES
Tigard patrol officers interrupted a burglary in progress, leading to the arrest of a
man on a long list of charges.
Just before 5:30 AM on April 14th, officers were dispatched to a burglary at an
apartment complex in the 11900 block of SW 72nd Avenue. The caller reported a man
was on video prying storage unit doors open and taking property. When he saw
officers responding, the man took off running through a secure parking area, then
into a yard and over a fence where an officer safely arrested him.
The man was later identified as Brandon O'Neill, a 33-year-old from Portland. Officers
learned he had been loading up property from the storage units into a stolen car
parked nearby, including video games, power tools, rare coins, trading cards, clothes
and perfume.
Officers recovered two guns from the car, one of which was also stolen. O'Neill is a
convicted felon and is not allowed to have guns. Officers also recovered 17 grams of
methamphetamine and 2 grams of ecstasy.
O'Neill was taken to the Washington County Jail on a long list of charges, including
burglary I, felon in possession of a firearm (x2), theft I, identity theft, unauthorized
use of a motor vehicle, possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of burglar tools,
possession of a controlled substance (x2), criminal possession of a forged instrument
and theft II.
If you believe your property was stolen in connection with this case, please call non-
emergency dispatch at 503-629-0111 and ask to speak to a Tigard officer, referencing
case #23-0007058.
