Eugene police use stun grenade to take man into custody
EUGENE, Ore. - A known gang member and key figure in one of Eugene's most notorious murders showed up outside a bank Thursday wearing a bulletproof vest, prompting police to use a stun grenade to disorient him and take him into custody.
Beau Flynn, 34, just got out of prison in September. He was arrested in 2009 in Marion County after police found him with meth, weapons and body armor.
Flynn was 16 in 1994 when his mother, Mary Thompson, ordered the murder of 17-year-old Aaron Iturra to keep him from testifying against Flynn in a stabbing case.
Two teen gang members shot and killed Iturra as he slept.
Police said Flynn, who had been told to stay out of Lane County by parole officials, was seen hanging around outside a Eugene bank on Thursday.
Officers moved in and used a flash-bang grenade to distract Flynn and take him into custody.
Point made he did not follow the rules he got busted not following the rules...phhfff...some just need to have the limited boundary of prison to function. The amount of money spent in our nation on keeping the violent offenders that repeat out of the public sector is astounding. We should spend that and more on education.
They are just kids, don't ruin their life with prison time. Mommy ordered the hit to protect her baby stabbed someone (what happened to attempted murder charges), and the trigger punk was 16 when be bravely shot and killed another teen while he was sleeping. In and out of incarceration since the age of 14 (and murder at 16? Rehab the poor baby). A premeditated murder, planned and carried out. Murder one, let him sit in a cell and listen to the building of the gallows (too bad we don't use them anymore). Don't just slap their hands again, as you can see it's not working very will, they must learn the laws apply to them too.Â
did he go crying for mommy again?
Why aren't OSP "EVIDENCE-BASED" rehabilitation programs WORKING? This is happening OVER & OVER with the released felon....
Â
These guys need REAL HOUSING, REAL TRADE/CAREER TRAINING, and REAL JOBS when they are released; how about programs LIKE THAT?
 @August100 Are you Fing kidding!!!!! Let reward all people who go to jail a free education, free housing and a free real job!! were do I sign up? All I have to do is go to jail? Easy!!
Please don't have children!!! I'm sure you parents regret it as well, Â so don't make the same mistake...
perect example why stupid people should not breed.
Kitzhaber will let him out with his new sentencing guidelines.

Sounds like he just wanted back into prison. Can you say, "institutionalized"?
