Meet our newest (and fluffiest) special deputy – Corporal Carlton! I am proud to introduce the newest special deputy on our team: Corporal Carlton, a happy, fluffy goldendoodle. Corporal was sworn in with much fanfare today and got right to work. Corporal joins the Sheriff’s Office as part of our staff health and wellness initiative. The program prioritizes the financial security, mental health, spiritual fulfillment, and physical health of our staff. In a profession where deputies, dispatchers, and corrections staff regularly encounter stressful and high-pressure situations, Corporal Carlton offers comfort, calm, and connection in a way only a dog can. Trained as a comfort canine, Corporal will visit various divisions of the Sheriff’s Office, including patrol, dispatch, corrections, and administration. His role is simple but powerful – to bring a moment of peace, reduce stress, and remind our team that taking care of their own wellness is just as important as taking care of the community. Corporal’s calm temperament and cheerful personality make him a natural fit for the job. He’s always ready with a wagging tail, a gentle nudge, or a warm cuddle. Beyond internal visits, Corporal will also make occasional appearances at community events, helping strengthen connections between the Sheriff’s Office and the people we serve. Corporal Carlton also represents a legacy of selfless service through his namesake. Lane County Sheriff’s Deputy Carlton Smith laid down his life in service to our community on his first night as a solo patrol deputy, July 6th, 1965. Corporal was donated by Working Dogs Oregon, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the welfare and effectiveness of working dogs across the state. They provide fully-trained comfort, therapy, and patrol dogs to law enforcement, fire departments, and district attorneys across the state. We’re thrilled to welcome Corporal Carlton to the team and look forward to the positive impact he’ll continue to make on our staff and community!Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post

11/19/25 - LCSO Case 25-5035 Missing mushroom picker from Oakridge found deceased after lengthy search On November 19th at about 2 p.m., Lane County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue (SAR) located the body of Jean Fritz Pierre Louis, 76, of Oakridge, who went missing early last week in the Salmon Creek area east of Oakridge. Louis was located deceased in the bottom of a steep drainage, which required rope teams to access and recover him. Volunteers and deputies devoted over 1,000 hours to the search for Louis, which began with an intensive search on October 16th after he was reported missing. His vehicle was quickly located in the area. Searchers began tackling the incredibly rugged terrain on foot and horseback and using drones, K9s, and high-angle rope teams to access difficult areas. Searchers rappelled into multiple areas to search. Linn County SAR assisted with the search and recovery, as well as Eugene Mountain Rescue, which operates under Lane County Sheriff’s SAR. While not the outcome hoped for, we are thankful to our many dedicated volunteers and agency partners who continue to search for those missing in our county.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post

The man, identified as Thomas Lynn Jessop, 29, of Mapleton, pointed the knife at people and made threatening statements as he advanced towards them.

Medics sedated and transported him to an area hospital for evaluation and treatment. Jessop was lodged at the Lane County Jail for three counts of Menacing, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and Disorderly Conduct. Thanks to the bystanders who took action to keep others safe, as well as Oregon State Police, Florence Police Department, and Western Lane Fire & EMS Authority for their assistance on this incident.

The detective observed a fire in a first-floor apartment unit that quickly grew in size, breaking out an exterior window. The detective notified Dispatch and evacuated residents in the adjacent apartment units, preventing any injuries. Eugene Springfield Fire responded and extinguished the blaze. Additional detectives responded and served the planned search warrant at an apartment in the same complex, unrelated to the fire. The suspect, James Michael Minton, 27, of Eugene, was contacted and arrested. Minton was lodged at the Lane County Jail on 3 counts of Encouraging Child Sex Abuse in the 1st Degree and 3 counts of Encouraging Child Sex Abuse in the 2nd Degree. This search warrant stemmed from an investigation by the Lane County Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, focusing on child exploitation. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office received assistance during this investigation from the Oregon Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. This arrest is part of an ongoing effort by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to combat child exploitation and protect vulnerable members of our community. The investigation is ongoing, and no further details are available at this time. The cause of the unrelated fire is under investigation by Eugene Springfield Fire and the Eugene Police Department.
