1/23/26 - Deputies continue to find impaired drivers in the new year
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office does not have regular funding for a dedicated traffic team or deputy assigned to DUI enforcement. However, our deputies are committed to the safety of our community, and that includes patrolling our roadways.
🚙 Plan your safe ride home ahead of time
🍺 If you drink or use drugs, do not drive for any reason
🔑 If you know someone has been drinking or using drugs, don't let them drive
💃 If you host a party with alcohol, make sure all guests leave with a sober driver
👍 And please, always wear your seatbelt!
Drive safe in 2026 – or better yet, get a ride!

1/18/26 - Lane County Sheriff’s Office seeks tips on reckless driver in Santa Clara area
On January 18th at 11 a.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a crash that caused a downed powerline at the intersection of Calla Street and Hyacinth Street, Eugene. Deputies learned from witnesses that the driver of an older teal or light blue Chevrolet or GMC pickup (pictured) lost control at a high rate of speed. The pickup knocked down a power pole, causing the powerline to fall off several other poles. The pickup continued through a front yard, and the driver fled the area in the vehicle.
Two area residents were in their front yard when the line fell. They narrowly avoided being struck by the charged line. Power was out in the neighborhood while a utility company made repairs, and many residents were unable to access their security video at the time.
The pickup likely has damage to the front driver’s side fender and hood area. Residents who witnessed the incident or have video of the pickup are asked to contact Dispatch at 541-682-4150 option 1. Please reference case 26-0288.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post

Deputies respond to morning dispute in Glenwood
On January 13th at 7 a.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a physical dispute at E. 14th Avenue and Lexington Avenue in Glenwood. Deputies contacted several involved people and witnesses, and reviewed surveillance video from a nearby business.
