POWELL BUTTE, Ore. -- A 44-year-old Portland man has been arrested on aggravated theft, burglary and other charges charges, accused of stealing about $20,000 worth of golf clubs, bags and other golfing gear from Brasada Ranch Resort in Powell Butte a month ago.

The Crook County Sheriff’s Office was contacted on July 20 by an employee with Brasada Ranch concerning the thefts, Lieutenant Mitch Madden said in a news release issued Monday.

Deputies continued to follow up on the case and found the stolen golf items for sale on Facebook Marketplace, including photos of the clubs that showed their serial numbers, Madden said.

Deputies contacted the golf club manufacturer and were able to match the golf club serial numbers as being sold to Brasada Ranch.

As the investigation continued, deputies identified a suspect, who Madden identified as 44-year-old Matthew Wayne Chavis of Portland.

One of the photos on the Facebook Marketplace ad showed a storage unit ID placard. The deputy searched all storage units in the Portland metro and matched the business logo to the one in the ad, Madden said.

The lieutenant said deputies obtained security camera video of Chavis moving the golf clubs into his storage unit. They applied for and were granted a search warrant for the identified storage unit in Portland.

Deputies and detectives also "set up a controlled buy to meet Chavis at his storage unit in Portland," Madden wrote.

Last Friday, deputies traveled to Portland to raid the storage unit and to meet with Chavis.

Madden said Chavis arrived early at the storage unit and was taken into custody without incident. Deputies interviewed home and learned that some of golf club sets had allegedly been sold to others. Deputies then executed the search warrant and found the stolen golf bags ins his storage unit.

CCSO deputies brought Chavis to the Crook County Jail, where he was booked on charges of first-degree aggravated theft, second-degree burglary and second-degree criminal trespass, Madden said.

In a court affidavit filed Monday, Deputy Dakota Peterson outlined how the resort's surveillance video showed a man later identified as Chavis entering the employees-only area in the lower portion of the Wild Rye Restaurant, also known as the "Cart Barn," on July 18, the day before they realized the clubs were missing. It goes on to describe the sequence of events that led to his arrest.

Chavis was arraigned Monday on two initial charges: first-degree aggravated theft, a Class B felony, and second-degree burglary, a Class C felony, Crook County Circuit Court records showed. Judge Daina Vitolins set his bail at $100,000 and arraignment was set for Friday afternoon on an expected grand jury indictment.

Madden said no more information is being released as of now, as the investigation is still ongoing.
