‼️Attention Riders‼️
Do you ride in the Oregon Dunes, Blue Ridge, Winchester Trails System, or any other Oregon trail system? Do you have a child between 6 and 16 years old needing their rider safety card for Class III (Dirt Bikes)? Coos County Sheriff’s Office Dune Patrol will be hosting a Class I and Class III rider safety course on April 19, 2025, at 11:00 AM. The Dune Patrol will be earning their Class III Instructor Qualification, and we need your help by bringing your children to complete the course. After April 19th, Coos County Sheriff’s Office will be able to provide hands-on rider safety certification for youth for Class I, Class III, and Class IV for in-state residents and out-of-state riders.
All riders of all ages are required to complete the online Rider Safety Course and have a valid Rider Safety Card with them at all times while riding. Go to www.rideatvoregon.org/training, click on “ATV Safety Card” at the top left, and complete the training. This is required for out-of-state residents too.
The online portion must be completed for youth ages 6 to 16 prior to attending the hands-on course. Once your child finishes the online portion, sign them up for the April 19th class at https://omraregistration.com/form/?id=20979. After April 19th, the Coos County Sheriff’s Office will post available training days. For questions about riding in Southern Oregon, the Rider Safety Card, or how to sign your child up, contact Deputy Allen Churchill at [email protected] from Coos County Sheriff's Office's post

Excellent job Cena and Adam! 🥳🎉CAPTURE #58 for CENA 💝
This morning while patrolling on East Bay RD, Sgt. Slater observed a suspicious vehicle pull into a property and subjects get out and began walking around. It did not appear the subjects belonged at the residence.
Sgt. Slater contacted the subjects to determine if they were allowed to be there. The male subject got into the vehicle after providing a false name. Sgt. Slater attempted to stop him from leaving, but the male fled in the vehicle.
After a short vehicle pursuit, the suspect fled into a heavily wooded area on foot. K9 Cena tracked approximately 1.5 miles through the woods, marsh area and steep hills. The suspect was located and taken into custody without incident. In addition to several new charges, the suspect had outstanding warrants for his arrest.
Excellent work by all who assisted today.
Adam and Cena 💝

🚨Suspect Arrested in Windfall Road Stabbing🚨
On March 30, 2025, at approximately 4:45 AM, Deputy Z. Smith was dispatched to a residence on Windfall Road in Coos Bay, Oregon, following a reported stabbing. While en route, Deputy Smith learned from Coos Bay Police Officer T. Smith that the victim, who had been stabbed twice and required medical attention, was at a separate location and that the suspect, Tonya Mauldin, age 40, was not present at that scene.
Deputy Smith proceeded to the Windfall Road address to locate Mauldin. After interviewing occupants at the residence, Deputy Smith found Mauldin attempting to hide in the back of a bedroom. She was arrested, and following a brief search, Deputy Smith seized the knife used in the attack as evidence.
Mauldin was transported to the Coos County Jail and booked on charges of Assault in the Second Degree and Unlawful Use of a Weapon, both felony offenses. The Assault charge is classified as a Measure 11 crime under Oregon law, carrying mandatory minimum sentencing requirements.
“Police action is not indicative of guilt. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.”

On March 30, 2025, at approximately 12:15 AM, Deputies Gray and Freerksen responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle near the intersection of Highway 42 and Halfway Road in Coos County, Oregon. Upon arrival, deputies observed a black Chevrolet pickup truck parked at the entrance to a residence, obstructing access. Both occupants appeared intoxicated during initial contact. The driver was identified as Sebastian Nelson, age 22, and the passenger as Jayden Felton, age 21.
Deputy Freerksen conducted an investigation and determined that Nelson had been driving under the influence of intoxicants. Nelson consented to Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs), and upon completion, he was arrested and transported to the Coos County Jail for further testing.

The firearm was seized, and the vehicle was towed from the scene.
