Baker City Police Arrest Shebb Robert Bassman on Harassment Charge

Shebb Robert Bassman, 38, was arrested by Baker City Police after officers responded to a harassment call at Broadway and 13th streets, with the public-safety entry recording the arrest at 3:52 p.m. on Feb. 25 and noting Bassman was jailed. The Baker City public-safety log lists the offense as "HARASSMENT" and places the incident in the Broadway and 13th area of the city.

Bassman's date of birth is listed as Feb. 9, 1988, making him 38 at the time of arrest. The Baker City CAD press log entry cited in the original dispatch material uses the phrase "HARASSMENT BCPD" but the quoted CAD text supplied to news outlets is truncated; the available records do not include a full CAD narrative in the public-safety log printout. The public entries do not include a statute number, arresting officer names, booking number, bail amount, or arraignment date.

A separate descriptor that appeared in an aggregated headline — "domestic-violence harassment" — does not appear in the Baker City public-safety log or the quoted CAD phrase. The harassment designation in the dispatch and the Herald log is explicit; whether the charge is being pursued as a domestic-violence offense has not been confirmed in the public entries and requires verification from the Baker City Police Department or the Baker County District Attorney's Office.

The Feb. 26 public-safety log entry that recorded Bassman's arrest also listed other recent arrests in Baker City, underscoring a busy afternoon for local agencies. Four minutes after the Bassman entry, the log records a 3:56 p.m. Feb. 25 arrest of Ashley Jewel Moon, 28, in the 1500 block of Indiana Avenue for violation of a restraining order; the report states Moon was jailed. Earlier entries in the same log include Jarod Roland Taylor, 43, noted at 8:26 a.m. Feb. 24 as the subject of an attempt-to-elude entry tied to a Walla Walla County warrant at the Baker County Jail, and Justin Patrick Jones, 42, of Boise, booked at 4:03 p.m. Feb. 25 for driving while suspended on Chandler Lane.

Public records reviewed for this report do not show victim names, injuries, incident or case numbers, or any linkage between the Bassman arrest and the nearby restraining-order arrest; the log presents each line as a separate entry. To establish whether additional charges will follow, or whether the harassment allegation involves a domestic relationship, reporters and prosecutors will need the full CAD incident printout, the arrest report for Shebb Robert Bassman, and booking information from the Baker County Jail.

For now, the official local record shows Shebb Robert Bassman, born Feb. 9, 1988, was jailed after a 3:52 p.m. Feb. 25 arrest on a harassment charge at Broadway and 13th streets in Baker City; further charging decisions and any domestic-violence classification remain to be confirmed by Baker City Police and the Baker County District Attorney.
