On March 2, 2025, at 2:32 a.m., Klamath Falls Police Department patrol officers responded to a report of a suspicious incident from an employee at Riy’s Market located at 4237 Greenspring’s Drive in Klamath Falls. The person reported seeing her property outside the side door on the ground. When patrol officers arrived on scene, they cleared the location and discovered the business was burglarized and started their investigation.
On March 5, 2025, at 3:19 a.m., patrol officers responded to Tyler’s Texas BBQ located at 1414 Oregon Avenue regarding a property alarm. Officers arrived on scene and initially believed the business was secure. The owner responded to the business and officers found the back door had been forced upon after they were given access to the secure rear parking lot. The officers cleared the location and found it was also burglarized, and they started their investigation. During both investigations, patrol officers developed information that these two cases were possibly related and identified two persons of interest.
On March 9, 2025, at 8:13 p.m., patrol officers located one of the persons of interest at the Washburn Chevron located at 3301 Washburn Way in Klamath Falls. That person was identified as thirty-five (35) year old Christopher Garrison, who was also found to be in possession of a large amount of stolen property from both burglaries. Garrison was arrested, booked and released at the Klamath County Jail for following charges: two (2) counts – Burglary 2nd Degree, two (2) counts – Criminal Mischief 1st Degree, one (1) count – Theft 1st Degree, one (1) count – Theft 2nd Degree, and Fail to Appear – Bench Warrant.
The second person of interest is still outstanding, and we believe these subjects are responsible for other commercial burglaries in the area. We are asking for any information from the community to help locate this person and bring them to justice. If anyone has information related to this case, you are encouraged to contact the Klamath Falls Police Department at 541-883-5336 or contact the anonymous tip line at 541-883-5334. Please reference KFPD cases 25-658 and 25-701.
The Klamath Falls Police Department appreciates any assistance you can provide.
