-11/03/26 - Grand Jury Indicts Man on Six Counts Related to Online Child Exploitation
In September 2026, Lane County Detectives working with the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force began investigating a case involving the alleged luring of a minor and online sexual corruption. The victim was located in Lane County.
Detectives were able to identify the suspect as Cody Allen Hinze, 28, of Oregon City. Hinze had previously been released from prison early in July 2026 after being sentenced for similar offenses. On October 20, 2026, with the assistance of Clackamas County Parole and Probation, Hinze was taken back into custody.
On October 30, 2026, a Lane County Grand Jury indicted Hinze on six counts of Luring a Minor and Attempted Use of a Child in a Display of Sexually Explicit Conduct.
This case is still active and additional victims may exist. LCSO detectives are asking anyone with information related to this investigation or who believes they may have been victimized by Hinze to contact law enforcement. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office can be reached by calling 541-682-4150.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post

-10/22/26 - LCSO Takes Part in National Drug Take Back Day, in Veneta on Saturday 10/24/26
Do you have unwanted or expired medications at your home?
We are partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to help community members safely dispose of prescription drugs in Veneta this Saturday!
Where: Bi-Mart in Veneta, 25126 Jeans Road, Veneta
When: Saturday, October 24th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Acceptable items: Prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, drug samples, pet medications, ointments, lotions, and liquid medicines in glass or leak proof containers.
This is a no-questions-asked prescription drug drop off in effort to prevent the unsafe disposal of prescription medications, and to prevent medications from being stolen or abused. Disposing of unused medications by flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash pose potential safety and health hazards.
Check your medicine cabinet for prescription drugs that are expired or that you no longer use and bring unwanted, outdated, or expired prescription and over-the-counter medications to for safe disposal.
We are unable to accept: Needles, thermometers, bloody or infectious waste, medications from businesses, hydrogen peroxide, aerosol cans, inhalers, and diabetic meters.
During two events held in 2021, over 918 pounds of medications were turned in by community members to the Lane County Sheriff’s Office for disposal.
If you are unable to attend the Drug Take Back Event and you have medications you would like to dispose of, the Lane County Sheriff’s Office has a drug drop box located in the Central Reception lobby in the Lane County Courthouse that is available to accept medications Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, excluding holidays (no appointment necessary).
