Curry County Deputies Arrest Brookings Man Following Altercation, Standoff at Port of Brookings Harbor
From Curry County Sheriff John Ward:
On Friday, March 11, 2022, at approximately 12:38pm, thirty-two-year-old William Stringham of Brookings was arrested in the Port of Brookings Harbor following an altercation with Port of Brookings Harbor employees, where one of the employees was head butted by Stringham. When Deputies arrived on scene, Stringham ran onto the commercial docks and boarded a commercial fishing vessel. Stringham refused to obey orders to exit from the vessel.
During the standoff, deputies learned that there was a firearm on the vessel and that Stringham had access to numerous items on the vessel that could be used as a dangerous or deadly weapon. Ultimately K-9 Axel was deployed by his handler, Deputy Jacob Stout. Stringham was taken to the deck of the boat by K-9 Axel. Stringham continued to resist and after a brief struggle with deputies, Stringham was taken into custody.
Stringham was taken to Curry General Hospital where his bite injuries were treated. Stringham was then lodged in the Curry County Jail on charges of Harassment, Disorderly Conduct, Menacing and Resisting arrest.
