According to a Coos Bay Police press release, at about 11:22 p.m., officers responded to several 911 calls reporting a car accident at the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Central Avenue in Coos Bay. Officers found a red Pontiac Firebird that had crashed through the guardrail and a retaining wall in the front yard of 1375 Central Ave., before coming to a stop.

Yeiter had previously been arrested Saturday by Coos County Sheriff's Office deputies in the Barview area.
