Media Release April 11, 2025 Statement Regarding Incident at Waldport City Council Meeting On Thursday, April 10, 2025, Sheriff Shanks was requested to attend the Waldport City Council Meeting to present and answer any questions on an agenda item regarding the continuance of the police services contract between the Sheriff’s Office and the City of Waldport. Leading up to the meeting, there were concerns from City Council members and the City Manager anticipating a disruption involving former Mayor Heide Lambert in response to a decision made by the City Council on April 3, 2025, which formally removed her from office in accordance with the city’s governing charter. During the public meeting, Ms. Lambert took a seat at the council’s table and proceeded to make a statement. After being asked multiple times by members of the City Council to vacate the seat reserved for current officials, Ms. Lambert refused to comply which prohibited council from proceeding with the meeting. Sheriff’s Office members attempted to de-escalate the situation. The Sheriff spoke with Ms. Lambert and explained she could leave the council table without consequences; he also explained the legal consequences pursuant to ORS 166.025 if she refused to comply with the lawful order to leave the council table. After continued refusal, Ms. Lambert was escorted outside and cited for disorderly conduct. She was released at the scene and then allowed to re-enter the building to attend the meeting in the public seating area with other community members. In Oregon, public meetings, such as City Council meetings, are open to the public. While public attendance is allowed and encouraged, there are rules (such as Robert’s Rules of Order or local ordinances). This means someone disrupting those proceedings can legally be removed. We recognize this event has caused concern and strong emotions within our community. Our office does not take such actions lightly. Regardless of a person’s status or position, the law applies equally to everyone. When a lawful order is issued and refused, our duty is to uphold the law while maintaining order and safety. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to transparency, impartiality, and respectful enforcement of the law.

Tip of the Week For the week of April 10, 2025 Distracted Driving The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has declared April as Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Distracted driving is any activity that takes the driver’s attention away from driving. Cell phone use including texting, talking on the phone, or using social media are some of the activities that are the most dangerous. This is because cell phone use takes your visual, manual, cognitive, and auditory attention away from driving. While cell phones are some of the most dangerous distractions, other activities such as eating, talking with passengers, grooming, and reading can be dangerous and deadly. According to the NHTSA, 3,275 people were killed by distracted driving in 2023. You can learn more about the dangers of distracted driving by visiting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s “April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month” webpage. Use these tips to help keep your car distraction free: • Don’t call or text while driving. Instead, pull over in a safe place to read and send texts or make a phone call. • Establish a “co-pilot” passenger to manage your cell phone, GPS, and other distractions. • Look up your destination ahead of time and become familiar with the area. This will help prevent the need to look at GPS while driving. • Enjoy your meal at home, in the restaurant, or while parked safely. Eating while driving increases your risk of traffic collisions and the likelihood of choking. • Keep pets crated or otherwise secured for safety. This will help keep your furry friend safer in the event of a crash and prevents them from crawling onto your lap or other distracting activities. • Recruit the whole family for distraction-free driving. Teach your children the importance of keeping your attention on the road even before they can drive. • If your children need help, pull over to help address their needs instead of reaching to the backseat while driving. • Encourage friends and family to drive distraction-free. By speaking up, you may save their life and others on the road.

Trinity, our ESD K9 was released late last week from DoveLewis in Portland after her recent respiratory issue. The doctors are a bit puzzled, and said there were no signs of trauma, her blood work looked good with no signs of known toxins, she had no signs of infection, she had no signs of an allergic reaction, and no signs of any debris in her mouth/airway. Trinity has been on the mend and is anxious as ever to get back to work. She is expected to make a full recovery. We are thankful to the outpouring of love and concern for Trinity. She even received a quilt to snuggle up in from Quilts for Cops. We want to thank our community and the wonderful medical staff again WilVet and DoveLewis Veterinarian Hospitals.Photos from Lincoln County Sheriff's Office - Oregon's post

Tip of the Week For the week of April 7, 2025 Sexual Assault and Roofie Awareness April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and is a significant reminder that sexual assault, roofie awareness, and personal safety are important topics throughout the year. According to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), every 68 seconds an American is sexually assaulted. You can find additional statistics and resources such as “Understanding Consent”, “Safety and Prevention”, and more at www.rainn.org. The best tip for preventing sexual assault is: don’t sexually assault someone. While this is the best way to prevent sexual assault, below are some tips to help prevent exposure to date rape drugs and predators with harmful intentions. There are more than fifty predatory drugs that can be used to sedate someone. These drugs, including rohypnol, ketamine, and GHB, are often known as “roofies” or “date rape drugs”. These predatory drugs relax the body and can feel similar to being drunk. As they pass through your system their effect increases. This can lead to confusion, breathing trouble, blurred vision, and memory loss. These drugs stay in the bloodstream for approximately four hours and testing for them often yields little or no evidence. This makes it very difficult to prove and even harder to prosecute. Below are some tips to help prevent exposure to these drugs and predators with harmful intentions. If you are drinking: ✅Be Aware of Strange Smells or Flavors. If the drink is hazy or doesn’t taste like it normally should, don’t drink it. Be sure to pour it out so that no one else drinks it. ✅ Cover Your Cup. Never set down or lose sight of your drink. Hold the cup by covering it with your palm. ✅ Order Your Own Drinks. Don’t accept any beverages from strangers or people you don’t trust. It is safer to only accept drinks directly from the bartender. ✅ Avoid Community Containers. Say no to drinks made in a punch bowl or pitchers. Instead, go for a canned or bottled beverage that hasn’t been opened. ✅ Don’t Share Drinks with Others. You don’t know if your friend has kept a watchful eye on their cup. People can have very different reactions to the same drug. This means they could have ingested something harmful and not feel it’s effects yet. ✅ Sip Your Drink Slowly. Taking time to consume your beverage gives you more time to become aware of any symptoms which can indicate your drink has been altered.
