2/12/26 - LCSO Case 19-7563 Former Creswell resident convicted of animal neglect arrested in California, extradited to Lane County In October of 2019, Lane County Sheriff’s deputies served a search warrant at a property in the 33000 block of Camas Swale Road while investigating ongoing animal abuse. Lane County Animal Services and Oregon Humane Society assisted. A total of 61 horses were removed from the property after being assessed by a licensed veterinarian. Many were emaciated and determined to be malnourished. Several horse carcasses were located on the property, and some rescued horses did not survive. The incident required a significant amount of work from multiple agencies and community partners. After additional investigation, Gwenyth Ellen Davies, 55, of Creswell, was arrested for Animal Neglect in the 2nd Degree (Felony). Davies later plead guilty to 11 counts of Animal Neglect in the 2nd Degree, was sentenced to probation, and ordered to pay restitution to the state. Davies instead disappeared. As a result, Lane County Circuit Court issued an extraditable warrant for her arrest in 2023. A deputy determined Davies was likely in California and notified law enforcement in the area. The deputy continued the investigation as new information arose. In January of 2026, Davies was arrested on the warrant by the Los Angeles Police Department as she re-entered the U.S. at a port of entry in the Los Angeles area. Extradition was approved by the Oregon Office of the Governor. On February 12th, 2026, Davies was lodged at the Lane County Jail on the warrant. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the many agencies involved in this investigation, including the Lane County District Attorney’s Office, Oregon Humane Society, Oregon Department of Justice, Butte County Sheriff’s Office, Los Angeles Police Department, U.S. Customs & Border Protection, and numerous community partners that assisted with the evaluation and care of the horses in 2019.

On Wednesday evening, several Lane County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue volunteers responded to the area of Sutton Creek, north of Florence, to assist two lost hikers.

Follow these tips to stay safe as you explore the outdoors: ⛰️Always tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return. 🌨️ Know conditions before you leave - rain in the valley can mean ice up high! ⛺ Be prepared to stay out overnight - even if you don't plan to get out of your car. 🗺️ Bring maps for offline navigation - cell service can be spotty! 🌊 If you go on the water, ALWAYS wear a life jacket! 🛑 If you become lost, STAY PUT! Find a way to signal or make your location visible. Always carry a whistle and flashlight in the outdoors – it just might save your life. Nearly every week, Lane County Sheriff's Search & Rescue deputies and volunteers assist our residents and visitors in all types of environments.

We will NEVER ask for money by phone, text, or email. We will NEVER call you about missed jury duty. Our community continues to be targeted by phone scammers identifying themselves as employees of the Lane County Sheriff’s Office, typically claiming to be sergeants. Scammers have in the past also used text and email. Scammers claim there are warrants, missed jury duty, or unsettled legal issues. They may also offer to take bail money so family members in our jail may be released. Scammers then ask for payment or personal information, often threatening arrest. In some instances, the scammers appear to call from official phone numbers or provide fraudulent callback numbers with official-sounding voicemail inboxes. They often already have some personal information based on the phone number they called. If you are contacted by someone claiming to be a Lane County Sheriff's Office employee and you think you are being scammed, HANG UP. Then contact our dispatch center at 541-682-4150 opt. 1. Please share with your friends and family!
