8/6/26 - LCSO #26-3631 - Deputies Return Stolen Wheelchair to Family
On July 22nd, LCSO Deputies were notified of a theft of a mobility chair from Armitage Park. The chair was valued at over 10,00 dollars and it belonged to a juvenile victim.
The victim’s family took to social media and helped spread the word about the crime. Deputies spent extra time patrolling and contacting individuals in the area but so far had been unable to locate it.
On August 5th, a community member contacted LCSO and reported finding the mobility chair. Deputies responded, seized the medical equipment and drove it back to its owner.
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank everyone who helped in this case and ensured essential property was returned to a juvenile victim.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post

Quote from Lane County Sheriff Carl Wilkerson III:
“I am very sad and disgusted by this conduct, but I am committed to the protection of our community and to holding all offenders accountable. He has been placed on unpaid admin leave and we will continue to cooperate with investigators.”
On June 29th, 2026 It was reported to the Lane County Sheriff’s Office that Deputy Dylan Ford was believed to be having an inappropriate online relationship with a minor outside of the country. LCSO immediately contacted an outside agency so that an independent investigation could be conducted into the allegation.
On July 28th, 2026, outside agency investigators arrested the involved employee, Dylan Ford. Ford has been placed on unpaid administrative leave pending conclusion of the criminal investigation. He has been employed with LCSO for approximately 7 ½ years.
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office does not have additional details available at this time. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-CALL FBI (1-800-225-5324).
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office takes allegations such as these very seriously and is cooperating fully with this investigation. We would like to thank the Linn County Sheriff’s Office and Federal Bureau of Investigation for their assistance in this investigation.

Congratulations to Deputy Giles for recently completing Patrol training!
Lane County Sheriff’s deputies assigned to Patrol must complete the Field Training and Evaluation Process (FTEP). They also attend Basic Police Academy at the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training.
Deputy Giles has been with the Sheriff's Office for over two and a half years and reassigned to Patrol after working in the Lane County Jail. Deputy Giles grew up in Newport, on the Oregon Coast. Giles’ father was a firefighter which he says had an impact on his desire to serve others from an early age.
After graduating from OSU with a civil engineering degree Deputy Giles went to work for the city of Eugene as a project manager. However, he felt himself called in another direction and his desire to make an impact in his community led him to apply with the Lane County Sheriff’s Office.
Completing Police Services FTEP is no easy task, it requires a tireless commitment. Deputies must rotate between shifts often working long past their normal secure time. They adapt to different day off patterns and move between coaches in order to gain the knowledge required to be successful. Obviously, this can be very stressful for family at home. Deputy Giles credited his wife’s support as being a big part of what made this journey possible for him.
Want to join the family? We’re hiring!
