Springfield man arrested after attempted elude in Veneta
On March 1st at 9:30 a.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a vehicle trespassing in the 25100 block of E. Broadway Avenue, Veneta. The vehicle description matched a vehicle that had recently fled from Eugene Police officers. The suspected driver, David Johnathan Guggenmos, 41, of Springfield, had a felony warrant for his arrest.
The vehicle left before deputies arrived, but was located in a nearby church parking lot. Deputies staged in the area and an Oregon State Trooper staged a spike strip nearby.
The vehicle soon left the parking lot and a deputy attempted a traffic stop. The vehicle fled, as expected. The Trooper successfully deployed spike strips, deflating 3 tires and slowing the vehicle to around 25 miles per hour. The vehicle turned into a parking lot off E. Hunter Road and was pinned against a curb.
The driver, Guggenmos, was not initially cooperative but was arrested without further incident and lodged at the Lane County Jail on the following charges:
- Elude by Vehicle
- Resisting Arrest
- Parole Violation warrant for conviction on Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle
Thanks to Oregon State Police for their assistance on this incident.

3/2/26 - Deputies and officers teach, attend Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training
Last week, the Lane County Regional Crisis Intervention Team hosted a 40-hour Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training at the Springfield Police Department and Hillview Baptist Church in Springfield. This regional training is offered to local law enforcement agencies in Lane County.
The Regional Crisis Intervention Team is made up of coordinators from the Lane County Sheriff’s Office, the Eugene Police Department, and the Springfield Police Department. The team is assisted by a steering committee made up of stakeholders in the local mental health community.
The 31 attendees included deputies, dispatchers, and officers assigned to various roles from the Lane County Sheriff’s Office, Springfield Police Department, Eugene Police Department, Oakridge Police Department, Cottage Grove Police Department, and Lane Transit District.
CIT Training consists of classroom instruction to educate participants about mental health, addiction, de-escalation, and alternatives to incarceration. The curriculum includes specific lessons about local resources and programs, commonly encountered mental health conditions, tactical communication strategies, and presentations from community members with lived, first-hand mental health experiences.
The training includes discussions specific to unique communities law enforcement officers may encounter, such as military veterans, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and developmentally disabled individuals. Near the end of the week of training, attendees participate in scenario training based off of real situations. Finally, the training concludes with a segment on officer resilience and mental wellness.
This training provides a solid foundation for local law enforcement to call upon when approaching persons in crisis and to help community members receive the best outcome possible.

Lane County Sheriff’s K9s locate DUI driver after crash with injury
On February 19th just before midnight, Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the area of S. Willamette Street and Fox Hollow Road for a possible crash. They located a heavily damaged sedan that had destroyed a guardrail, but was unoccupied. A witness reported they saw two people walking north of the crash.
A sergeant responded with K9 Tito, who immediately began tracking north toward Spencer Butte. Deputies spotted two people north of K9 Tito on S. Willamette Street. When contacted, a male, later identified as Kyle Malone Edwin Mcilvain, 28, of Eugene, jumped over a resident’s fence and ran. The other person cooperated with deputies and was determined to be the passenger. They had minor injuries consistent with being in a crash and were treated on scene by Eugene Springfield Fire.
By this time, a deputy was in the area with K9 Ripp. Deputies, Eugene Police officers and Oregon State Troopers set a perimeter in the area while they got to work. K9 Ripp tracked over several fences before finally showing interest in a resident’s back yard. Deputies found Mcilvain hiding in the yard and detained him.
After additional investigation, Mcilvain was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail on the following charges:
- DUII
- Assault in the 3rd Degree
- Reckless Driving
- Reckless Endangering
- Criminal Mischief in the 2nd Degree

💥 Lane County fugitive arrested after nearly 2 years on the run 💥
On February 17th, 2026, detectives with the Chico Police Department arrested Jack Duane Crist, 48, of Florence, Oregon at an apartment in Chico, California. Crist was wanted in Lane County, Oregon on a Rape 1 conviction, and had led Lane County Sheriff’s detectives on a nearly 2-year search across multiple states.
Crist was first arrested in this case in January of 2023, in Florence, Oregon. He later entered a guilty plea with the Lane County Circuit Court for Rape in the 1st Degree and Attempted Rape in the 1st Degree for an incident involving a juvenile victim. In June of 2024, Crist failed to appear for sentencing and a warrant was entered for the original charges of three counts of Rape in the 1st Degree, Sodomy in the 1st Degree, and Attempted Rape in the 1st Degree.
Lane County Sheriff’s detectives learned Crist had likely fled to Alaska, but had little information to go on. They continued investigating and in 2024 confirmed he was in the area of West Plains, Missouri using an alias. Before local law enforcement located him, Crist fled the area. Detectives followed multiple leads, finally determining in early 2026 that he had been in Yucca, Arizona for approximately a year. Unfortunately, he had again left the area.
Detectives determined he was likely in Bly, Oregon, east of Klamath Falls, and quickly moved in. On February 17th, detectives served a search warrant with assistance from the Oregon State Police SWAT Team. Two residents were arrested for their role in hindering prosecution, but Crist was not located.
Detectives quickly determined Crist had fled to Chico, California, just days before. They contacted the Chico Police Department along with the U.S. Marshals Service.
Chico Police detectives conducted a surveillance operation at the residence in the 1500 block of E. Lassen Avenue where Crist was believed to be, and within hours, observed him exiting the home. Due to his distinct physical characteristics, Detectives were able to positively identify the person as Crist and swiftly took him into custody without incident.
Crist was arrested for his outstanding felony warrant and booked into the Butte County Jail to be held pending extradition by U.S. Marshals to Lane County, Oregon.
It is believed Crist had been in hiding in multiple other states, including Arizona and Missouri, and may have been using the aliases of “Zane Carson” or “Jack Watson.” A photo of Crist is attached. Anyone who may have had contact with or was victimized by Crist during his time as a fugitive is encouraged to contact the Lane County Sheriff’s Office at (541) 682-4150 option 1.
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the many agencies that assisted our detectives on this years-long, multi-state investigation:
