Mapleton man arrested for menacing with a knife
On November 18th at 7:30 a.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the business district in Mapleton along Highway 126 for a report of a man menacing people with a large knife. The man, identified as Thomas Lynn Jessop, 29, of Mapleton, pointed the knife at people and made threatening statements as he advanced towards them. Jessop was held at gunpoint by two individuals as deputies responded from Florence and Veneta.
Before deputies arrived, a bystander also sprayed Jessop with bear spray. He dropped the knife and removed his clothing. Jessop was cooperative with deputies as he was arrested, but his behavior then escalated. 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.
Anyone with additional information or who witnessed this incident is asked to call the Lane County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency number at 541-682-4150 option 1 and reference Case 25-5621.

Lane County Sheriff’s deputy assaulted, strangled while checking on wellness of adult in custody
On November 9th at about 9:30 p.m., a Lane County Sheriff’s deputy assigned to the jail was conducting a routine security check of adults in custody (AICs). He noticed one AIC, Keviontae Damarion Burns, 22, of Eugene, was non-responsive. Concerned for his welfare, the deputy entered the cell to confirm he was breathing. Burns leapt up suddenly and choked, punched, and slammed the deputy’s head into a cell door, injuring the deputy.
Burns, who was in custody for multiple Eugene Municipal Court charges, was arrested on multiple charges related to the incident. The Lane County District Attorney’s Office filed on charges of Assault in the 2nd Degree, Strangulation, and Assault on a Public Safety Officer.
The deputy has since recovered and is back on duty.

Lane County Sheriff’s detectives arrest Eugene man during Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigation, evacuate apartment due to unrelated fire
On November 14th at about 9 a.m., a Lane County Sheriff’s detective was conducting surveillance for a search warrant at an apartment complex in the 1400 block of Bailey Hill Road, Eugene. 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.

💃 If you host a party with alcohol, make sure all guests leave with a sober driver
👍 And please, always wear your seatbelt!
