Two men arrested for robbery
On 07/20/2025 at about 1 PM, Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the report of a robbery that had just taken place at Perkins Peninsula Park. The victim reported that he met two males at the park to purchase items they had for sale. At the meeting the two men assaulted and stole cash from the victim. The men were later identified as Christopher Tafoya, age 49, and David Miller, age 52. Deputies spent several hours searching for the suspects and ultimately contacted them in the 26000 block of Butler Road. Both suspects were taken into custody without injury and lodged in the Lane County Jail on charges of Robbery 2, Assault 3, Theft 1, UEMV and Interfering with making a report, and deputies were able to recover most of the money stolen from the victim.
Although this investigation was resolved within a 24-hour period and the victim was able to recover his money, this is not always the case. Many times, stolen items are not able to be recovered. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office recommends any person buying or selling items through a private sale should do so in a well-lit public area and should use caution meeting strangers alone. It’s also advisable to use electronic means of payment as opposed to carrying large sums of cash.
