Deputy ‘Dewey’

The Oregon State Police’s response to a call involving a Deschutes County Sheriff’s deputy’s alleged drunkenness on the job has left many wondering whether the blue is covering for its own. Dep. Kyle Frederickson drove an official vehicle to the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Shooting Range around 8 am on April 13, according to DCSO insiders, and smelled of alcohol. DCSO range officers found it a big enough deal to transport Frederickson to the Oregon State Police’s Bend command center on Poe Sholes Drive, across the street from the Deschutes County Adult Jail. After pit-stopping at the jail, where Frederickson allegedly blew a .11 Blood Alcohol Concentration, DCSO officers parked Frederickson outside the Oregon State Police Bend area command center. At 12:02 pm, someone named Kristyn Kellogg reported Frederickson’s alleged intoxication to 911 dispatch.
