The Dalles, Ore., April 24, 2025 A man from The Dalles wanted on eight outstanding warrants was arrested Wednesday afternoon following a brief standoff in an alley near West 10th and Irvine streets on Wednesday, April 23, according to The Dalles Police Department.

Tyson William Trezona who is suspected of stealing $20,000 of HVAC equipment from the National Neon Sign Museum was taken into custody around 4:50 p.m. after officers located him in a vehicle driven by his wife, Chandra Leigh Trezona - who is also suspected in the same HVAC heist.

Police said the vehicle was pulled into an “alley before Columbia Crest” off Irvine Street, and Trezona initially refused to exit.

Officers took no chances in the arrest as Trezona is suspected in multiple thefts and has terrorized neighbors from his $500,000 home on west 13th Street.

Police requested backup, a tactical shield, and set spike strips as a precaution. After several minutes of verbal commands, Trezona surrendered without incident.

Police said Trezona had seven warrants out of Wasco County and one out of Hood River County. The charges include multiple counts of first-degree theft, second-degree theft, criminal mischief, trespassing, driving under the influence of intoxicants, failure to appear on a felony weapon possession charge, and fraudulent use of a credit card.

Chandra Trezona was also arrested on suspicion of hindering prosecution, possession of methamphetamine, and contempt of court.

Both suspects were transported to NORCOR and remained in custody there this afternoon, according to the jail roster.
