Armed felon from Eugene arrested after crash, fleeing on River Road
On December 29th at 11 p.m., a deputy in the River Road area of Eugene noticed a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer stopped in the middle of Irving Road. As the deputy turned around, the driver, Tyler Gene Dendy, 58, of Eugene, drove away at a high rate of speed. Due to traffic and being in a residential area, the deputy did not pursue.
Deputies monitored the vehicle’s location as it continued to drive recklessly on River Road. Deputies and officers from assisting agencies planned to spike the tires of the vehicle to slow it down. Before deputies were in position, the vehicle went off the road and stuck a concrete curb, flattening both driver’s side tires and slowing the vehicle. Deputies initiated a traffic stop, but Dendy continued driving for several miles before surrendering without incident.
During a search of the vehicle, deputies located a pistol, two daggers, ammunition, and substances that tested positive as methamphetamine and fentanyl. Dendy, a felon, was lodged at the Lane County Jail on the following charges:
- Fleeing or Attempt to Elude Police Officer by Vehicle
- Four counts of Reckless Driving
- Recklessly Endangering
- Three counts of Felon in Possession of a Restricted Weapon
- Possession of Firearm or Ammunition by Certain Persons Prohibited
- Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine
- Unlawful Possession of Fentanyl

On Christmas Eve, Lane County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue K9 Poppy completed her last mission – a life well lived.
K9 Poppy, 11, was an operational member of SAR for over 7 years. She trained thousands of hours to be certified in Wilderness Air Scent and Human Remains Detection. She went to schools, parades, and public events.
Most importantly, she deployed with her volunteer handler on 46 missions – that included 4 finds. Together, they spent hours, days, weeks searching for our county’s lost, often coming up empty handed but going back to look more.
The payoff?
A terrified father reunited with a missing teenage son.
Lost loved ones who passed away in the remote wilderness – but were located, and families given closure.
Evidence found in a murder case.
Anyone who has had a dog understands the bond they hold on us. But only a few get to experience the bond of working, suffering, and succeeding with a SAR K9.
Rest in peace K9 Poppy. Lane County thanks you for your service.

12/26/25 - LCSO SAR assists with McKenzie rescue
On December 26th at about 7 p.m., Lane County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue personnel responded to assist Upper Mckenzie Rural Fire Protection District with a 90-year-old man lost in the woods near McKenzie Bridge. Fire personnel located the man prior to SAR arriving, however he needed to be carried out. SAR assisted with carrying the patient with a rescue basket over rugged terrain to a waiting ambulance.
Please follow these tips to stay safe when you explore the outdoors in our county:
⛰️ Always tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return.
🌨️ Know conditions before you leave - rain in the valley can mean snow 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.
