Armed Robbery Suspect Arrested By US Marshals In Clackamas

CLACKAMAS, OR — U.S. Marshals on Friday arrested a Clackamas man accused of multiple armed robberies in Clackamas County since October 2017, according to Clackamas County Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Brian Jensen.

Gary Kamuela Kealoha, 26, was taken to the Clackamas County Jail on a half dozen charges, which include assault, robbery, and harassment, as well as probation violations stemming from felony convictions in March 2017. His bail is set at $540,000.

Kealoha was identified as the primary suspect in armed robberies on Oct. 7 in Gladstone, Jan. 7 at Sports on Tap in Happy Valley, and Jan. 30 in Oregon City.

After Kealoha's positive identification by three different detective teams, a Clackamas County judge signed a warrant which was subsequently carried out by the U.S. Marshals Service on Feb. 9.

Kealoha was already facing misdemeanor charges for assault, harassment and theft from an incident in August 2017, and that was after his March felony convictions for coercion and assault charges he received in February.

Anyone with additional information that could assist this investigation is encouraged to call the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office tip line at 503-723-4949, or submit a tip online.
