Eugene Police and Lane County Sheriff’s Office partner on strong fair security measures The Lane County Fair is July 24 through to 28. To make the venue safer and a welcoming space for families, this year the Eugene Police Department and the Lane County Sheriff’s Office have partnered on strong security measures. Some changes to this year’s security include the addition of metal detectors at the entrances to the fair, increased and enhanced law enforcement presence throughout the fair and parking lots, and the addition of overlapping shifts of officers and deputies during the peak fair times. All these safety measures are in addition to private security hired for the fair. According to EPD Chief Chris Skinner, “County fairs across America provide opportunities for friends and families to come together and enjoy the offerings of their unique area. It’s important to us as a police department to provide a safe and secure place for that enjoyment. If you plan on coming to the fair and engage in unsafe behavior, stay home.” “For over a century, the Lane County Fair has been a cherished tradition in our community,” said Sheriff Cliff Harrold. “This year, we are proud to collaborate with the fair and other agencies to ensure a fun and safe environment where families can come together, create lasting memories, and celebrate our county. Let's all work together to keep the fair enjoyable for everyone.” The Lane County Fair, at 796 W. 13th Avenue, is a summer event everyone looks forward to. It is fun for all ages. The security measures are designed to make the venue safer so people can enjoy the many rides, games, exhibits, and entertainment.

LCSO Cases #23-3287, 23-3288 and Albany Police Department Case #23-3690 - Albany man sentenced to 25 years for sex crimes In February of 2020, DHS investigated a report that Jakiah Chandler had inappropriately touched a juvenile at a Junction City address. Investigators were unable to obtain sufficient evidence to make an arrest at that time. In May of 2023, investigators were made aware of two more allegations of abuse by Chandler of minor children. The abuse was reported to have occurred both in Albany and rural Lane County. Chandler, now living in Albany, was interviewed and subsequently arrested. A cooperative action between the Lane County District Attorney’s Office and Linn County District Attorney’s Office led to Chandler accepting a plea deal for sentencing on sex crimes amounting to 25 years in the Oregon Department of Corrections. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Department of Human Services, Albany Police Department, and both the Lane and Linn County District Attorney’s Offices for their assistance in this case.

Good job K9 Ripp with the assist!Two men arrested after extensive River Road area search At 4:07 p.m. on July 20, an officer spotted a man, Kenneth Raymond Russell (36), who had a felony warrant near Dominoes at Corliss Lane and River Road. Upon contact, he challenged the officer, and continued to walk away. His brother, Levi Rowland Russell (34), interfered with the officer’s actions, had his right hand concealed in his pocket and yelled at the officer. Kenneth continued walking away and being verbally argumentative and Levi refused commands to stay away from the officer. The officer resorted to OC spray and both brothers were affected. However, Levi continued to yell at the officer, dividing his attention from Kenneth. At one point, Levi concealed himself behind a brick wall, threw his backpack to the ground, opened it, and began digging through his backpack while threatening the officer. The officer challenged him with a taser and eventually Levi fled. The officer and an assisting officer took Kenneth into custody. Levi got a ride and then hung low in the car he was transported in. Police conducted a lengthy and extensive search, which included both drone and K9 deployments. After over one hour of searching, around 5:35 p.m., Levi emerged in close proximity to an officer and LCSO K9. He opted to flee once again but he ran into a moving vehicle in the middle of Division Avenue, fell to the ground and was apprehended by the assisting LCSO K9. He was treated on scene for the dog bite and transported to a local hospital for evaluation of the bite. He was then taken to jail on the warrant, Violation of Restraining Order, Escape in the Third Degree, Interfering, and Menacing. A machete was found in his backpack. Kenneth Raymond Russell was lodged on charges of Burglary in the Second Degree. Case 24-10573
