1/15/25 - LCSO Case #25-0232 - Deputies arrest DUI suspect outside Lane County Public Service Building
On January 15th at about 7:30 a.m., a Lane County Sheriff’s sergeant noticed an illegally parked vehicle outside the Lane County Public Service Building (PSB) in the area of Pearl Street and 8th Avenue. The vehicle belonged to William Ray Lighty, 38, of Junction City. Lighty had been reported the night before as suicidal and possibly armed with a handgun. He appeared to be sleeping in the driver’s seat.
Due to the prior report and proximity to the PSB, several deputies responded and used a drone to inspect the vehicle from the outside. Lighty was initially uncooperative, but then complied with instructions from deputies and was safely detained. A search of the vehicle revealed ammunition, but no firearms.
Deputies observed signs Lighty was impaired. After further investigation, he was arrested for DUI and lodged at the Lane County Jail.

Lane County Sheriff’s deputies attempt to locate prolific burglar in Veneta area
In October of 2024, a restaurant, residence, and market in the Veneta area were all burglarized within a two-week period. Deputies identified one of the suspects as Austin James Blaylock, 30, of Veneta.
Deputies served search warrants at two residences associated with Blaylock in the Veneta area and located evidence linking him to the crimes. Blaylock was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail on two counts of Burglary in the 1st Degree, four counts of Burglary in the 2nd Degree, five counts of Theft in the 1st Degree, Theft in the 2nd Degree, and Criminal Mischief in the 2nd Degree. Blaylock is still in custody as of January 14th.
Deputies identified Charles Guy Younkin-Stec, 33, of Veneta, as an additional suspect in the burglaries. Deputies applied for and were granted a search warrant at his trailer, located in the 88300 block of Ridiculous Road. Before deputies served the search warrant, Crow High School was burglarized. More than $10,000 dollars worth of items were stolen.
Deputies served the warrant on Younkin-Stec's trailer. Evidence was discovered linking him to each of the previous burglaries, including the burglary of the high school, as well as a recent burglary of an RV storage facility and an older burglary of Crow High School. Deputies learned Linn County discovered evidence linking Younkin-Stec to a residential burglary from earlier in the summer.
Deputies have been unable to locate and arrest Younkin-Stec for the seven listed burglaries, in part because of the lack of cooperation from area residents associated with him. Younkin-Stec has caused substantial hardships and financial loss to Veneta-area businesses, residents, and our students.
Anyone with information on Younkin-Stec's location is asked to call the Lane County Sheriff’s Office at 541-682-4141.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post
