Randall Redhair, 34, Arrested After Window Rock Robbery Pursuit, Tse Bonito Standoff

Residents near Tse Bonito were briefly locked down after a suspected armed robbery at a Chevron convenience store in the Window Rock area led to an extended pursuit and a standoff that ended in an arrest, law enforcement reports say. Authorities identified the suspect as Randall Redhair, 34, and took him into custody following the confrontation on March 5, 2026.

Law enforcement reports identify the suspect as Randall Redhair, 34. The reports state that the sequence began with a suspected armed robbery at a Chevron in the Window Rock area, continued with an extended pursuit, and concluded with a standoff in Tse Bonito that resulted in Redhair’s arrest. The initial bulletin supplied those chain-of-events details but did not list the arresting agency or other operational specifics.

Officials did not provide a full residential address for Redhair in the initial report; the available text lists his residence only partially. The report also did not include formal charging information, whether a weapon was recovered, the make or plate of any vehicle involved in the pursuit, or whether any officers, bystanders, or the suspect required medical treatment. Court and booking details were not included in the law enforcement notice issued with the arrest information.

That lack of immediate detail is not unusual compared with other standoff cases elsewhere: in Delaware, for example, a 2018 standoff ended with the arrest of Thomas Watson, 33, of Bear, who was later charged with seven counts of Robbery 1st Degree, arraigned in Justice of the Peace Court #2 and committed to Howard R. Young Correctional Institution in lieu of $140,000 cash bail. Delaware troopers said detectives identified Watson using interagency intelligence and that Watson fled one scene in a blue Ford Taurus.

Different tactics and timelines have produced varied outcomes in other recent cases. On February 20, 2026 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, police reported that officers arrived around 10:30 a.m. to locate Brandon Rice, 32, and waited more than two hours before entering a home; Rice was found hiding in an attic and taken into custody just after 2:00 p.m., then charged with one count of armed robbery. In West Palm Beach, Florida, police said 42-year-old Shaun Boneta led officers onto I‑95 after a late-night robbery near Evernia Street and Quadrille Plaza Drive, crashed during the pursuit, attempted a foot escape, was treated at a hospital for minor injuries and then returned to custody.

Tactical measures have also varied: Los Angeles officers in a separate burglary standoff used tear gas to force a suspect from a residence before taking the person into custody, while a separate high-speed chase highlighted in a short video synopsis involved a suspect wanted on multiple felony warrants who was ultimately taken into custody after a dangerous pursuit.

Local investigators in McKinley County and on the Navajo Nation—where Window Rock and Tse Bonito are located—have not yet posted a full press release with charges, vehicle descriptions, or booking information for Redhair. Court filings and an official agency statement will be necessary to confirm whether prosecutors file armed robbery, evading or related charges and to establish arraignment and detention status.
