LINCOLN CITY, Ore. — Lt. Jerry Palmer with the Lincoln City Police Department said Boysen, 26, was at the WestShore OceanFront Motel at 3127 SW Anchor Ave.
Police said they received a tip from the night clerk at the motel who thought she recognized Boysen from news reports when he checked in Monday night.
Lincoln City Police Chief Keith Kilian said when officers yelled into the room, Boysen said, ‘Go away!’
When she checked the motel roster, she saw Boysen’s name and called police at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Police arrived, evacuated the motel, surrounded it, and began negotiations with Boysen.
SWAT officers remained at the scene as negotiations continued throughout the day. Two King County detectives also arrived to negotiate with Boysen.
Police breached the motel room after nearly 12 hours of negotiations and found Boysen lying on the floor with visible injuries. They determined the injuries were self-inflicted cut or stab wounds.
Boysen was transported to the hospital for treatment.
Boysen's grandparents were killed at their home on the same day he was released from prison. Police said there had been a welcome home party for Boysen at his grandparents' Renton home that night.
Police described Boysen, who has been jailed six times, as an extreme danger to both law enforcement and the public.
