PORT ANGELES — A judge set a $750,000 bail Wednesday for a man who surrendered to law enforcement after a seven-hour standoff at the Salt Creek RV Park on Tuesday.
Ordez Eugene Kompkoff, 21, who also was placed on a state Department of Corrections hold, remained in the Clallam County jail Wednesday.
“It’s not likely he will be getting out,” said Superior Court Judge Erik Rohrer.
Rohrer also approved a no-contact order to prevent Kompkoff from contacting John Hosel, the man deputies said he held hostage.
Kompkoff is scheduled for a 1 p.m. Friday hearing at the Clallam County Courthouse on potential charges of unlawful possession of firearms, first-degree assault, unlawful imprisonment and obstructing a law enforcement officer.
According to law enforcement officials, Kompkoff held Hosel hostage in a home at Salt Creek RV Park, located at 53802 state Highway 112 at the junction with Camp Hayden Road east of Joyce.
Investigating officers found two handguns in the home: a loaded .357 revolver and an unloaded .380 automatic pistol, said Chief Criminal Deputy Brian King of the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office.
Hosel told investigators that at one point, Kompkoff held a pistol to his head, King said.
“The .357 was consistent with what [Hosel] described,” King said.
King said that during a body search of Kompkoff, deputies found drug paraphernalia and what appeared to be heroin residue, which was sent to the state laboratories for testing.
King said Kompkoff was extremely intoxicated when he was taken into custody, and deputies believed he had taken a number of pills just before surrendering.
He said Kompkoff was taken to Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles for treatment for the unknown drug before being booked into jail.
Two people associated with Kompkoff — and who were outside the home where he was holed up — were arrested on unrelated warrants, King said.
Miranda Niehaus, 39, mother of Kompkoff, was taken into custody on a $150 pay-or-appear warrant from Clallam County District Court, King said.
He said Kompkoff’s girlfriend, Katelynn Nicole Coffman, 19, was booked into jail on a $1,000 warrant relating to a third-degree theft case.
According to the jail roster, Coffman remained in custody Wednesday afternoon, and Niehaus had been released.
There was also a dog in the home, which Kompkoff and Hosel put out of the home through a window, said Deputy Sgt. Lyman Moore, one of the deputies who was initially on the scene.
Moore said the dog, a large black pit bull-type, was pushed out through the window with a leash attached to its collar, relieved itself, sniffed Moore’s leg, then ran off.
The dog hasn’t been seen since, he said.
Kompkoff was wanted for walking away from state custody in October while serving an 18-month sentence for unlawful possession of a firearm.
A warrant was issued for Kompkoff’s arrest Nov. 8 after he failed to return from work Oct. 7 while taking part in the Peninsula Work Release program in Kitsap County, according to the state Department of Corrections.
At about 9:45 a.m. Tuesday, the Sheriff’s Office received an anonymous call reporting that Kompkoff was at the Salt Creek home, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies found Kompkoff at the home. Kompkoff then shut himself in the home with Hosel, they said.
The Sheriff’s Office called for assistance from other agencies and closed state Highway 112 at mile marker 51 for the duration of the standoff.
The Sheriff’s Office received assistance from the state Department of Corrections, Port Angeles Police Department, Elwha Tribal Police Department, State Patrol and Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine agents.
After several hours of negotiations, Kompkoff released Hosel and surrendered at 4:27 p.m.
In June, Kompkoff was sentenced to 18 months in prison after he was involved in two Port Angeles incidents involving firearms.
Police had sought Kompkoff after a reported drive-by shooting on Orcas Avenue on March 18 and a home invasion on East Ninth Street on March 21, and took him into custody March 30 after a tracking dog found him in a house in the Lincoln School neighborhood.
