We’ve got some exciting news on the status of your new Lincoln County Animal Shelter! The long-awaited move is in full motion. Moving the animal shelter from a temporary building to a new and improved facility is no small task. Our team has supplies and animals to move and needs time to get things put away and set up not only for the animals already in our care, but so we can serve you too. With this news, we ask for your patience with our team. You may experience delays in response to emails and phone calls while we transition sites and get settled in. As soon as a grand opening celebration is planned, we will share that info here and on our website (lincolncountysheriff.net). Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prepare for this exciting opening.

Media Release January 10, 2026 Reckless Driver Arrested Following Pursuit On January 10, 2026, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office received information regarding a vehicle being operated recklessly through an active construction zone near Milepost 106 on Highway 101, nearly hitting workers and running over traffic cones. At approximately 8:37am, a deputy located the vehicle entering Newport city limits at a high rate of speed, traveling in the oncoming lane. Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver failed to yield. Assisted by the Newport Police Department and the Oregon State Police, deputies pursued the vehicle south bound through Newport and the community of Seal Rock. The driver, later identified as Jonathan Grimm, continuously operated the vehicle at speeds between 90 and 110 MPH. Grimm turned off the highway near NW Fox Creek and continued to attempt to elude police until arriving at a residence. Grimm fled on foot and was quickly apprehended without further incident. Lincoln City Police assisted in the investigation and confirmed the vehicle which endangered highway workers was the same vehicle Grimm was driving. Grimm was arrested and lodged at the Lincoln County Jail on charges of Reckless Driving, Reckless Endangering, Reckless Endangerment of Highway Workers, and Attempt to Elude. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank all partnering agencies in this apprehension.

REPORTING WILDLIFE INCIDENTS Traveling on the roads and highways of Lincoln County offer many wonderful sightseeing opportunities such as beautiful sunsets over the Pacific, ships and shops on our bay fronts, and seemingly endless forest lands to explore. However, while traveling through the community for work or play, we must also be mindful that this area is the natural habitat of several species of wildlife. It's important to be alert and aware of possible wildlife while commuting. Though it's unlikely to see a whale on the highway, you may come across deer, elk, and birds. In the unfortunate event that you or someone else is unable to avoid a collision with wildlife, the following steps are recommended: • If you are on a State Highway, in a State Park, on the beaches, or if the animal is protected under Oregon Revised Statute (such as anything hunted or fished in Lincoln County), please contact the Oregon State Police at 541-265-5353 or dial *677 from a mobile phone. • If you’re in the cities of Lincoln City, Newport, or Toledo; Contact the city police department: • Lincoln City Police Department Dispatch (non-emergency) – 541-994-3636 • Newport Police Department Dispatch (non-emergency – 541-574-5807 • Toledo Police Department Dispatch (non-emergency) – 541-336-5555 • If you’re in any other part of Lincoln County or if the animal involved is a pet or livestock; Contact the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office at 541-265-0777 It is possible to transfer calls between Dispatch Centers but being put on hold multiple times can be frustrating. To avoid this, it's important to know which center to contact initially. By doing so, Law Enforcement can provide the best quality service. If there is an emergency, always call 911.

BEGINNING OF THE YEAR SCAMS The start of the new year brings new and old scams alike. Be on the lookout for scams which often come through emails, texts, and phone calls aimed at tricking you into disclosing personal and financial information. Common scams may also threaten you with late fees, missed jury duty, or other penalties which “require” you to pay immediately or in untraditional payment types such as gift cards, BitCoin, money orders, and others. Here are some things to keep in mind throughout the year. Protect Yourself Throughout the Year Although some scams target specific events and deadlines, such as tax season or open enrollment, scams happen throughout the year. Scammers are creative and resourceful; they will try to convince you they are with a legitimate agency. They will sometimes create a fake, professional-looking profile or a website that looks very similar to the organization’s actual page. Scammers may try to use your emotions against you, such as pretending to be a family member in jail or threaten legal consequences if you do not pay immediately. When in doubt, hang up without providing personal or payment information and contact the real organization to verify the request is really coming from their office. Some things you can do to protect yourself and loved ones from scams: • Confirm an agency is legitimate (and the contact is really with the agency) before sending sensitive information or payment. Do not click on links or call phone numbers sent to you in suspicious communications. Instead, look up the agency’s contact information by searching online or in a phone book. • When you set up an account with an agency (bank, utilities, healthcare, etc.) bookmark their website and save their office number. This will make it easy to follow up with them if you receive a call, text, email, or letter requesting payment or sensitive information. • Be wary of social media comments. Do not click on links from other users or share sensitive information with them. • Help your friends and family members recognize scams and suspicious communications. • Remember, in general agencies such as law enforcement, healthcare, and financial institutes will not ask you for your account login and password information. • Remember what agencies will contact you about. o Our office will not call you regarding federal jury duty, local jury duty, etc. o We will not ask for payment over the phone. o Our office and other government agencies will not ask you to pay fines or fees with gift cards, money orders, bitcoin, etc. o Our office will not try to sell you merchandise or swag over social media through third party comments. Bookmark our pages below to know which pages are official. How do I know if information is really from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office or not? • It comes directly from one of our Facebook accounts, not a third party comment: Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office – Oregon or Lincoln County Animal Shelter or Lincoln County Oregon Emergency Management • It is on our official website: www.co.lincoln.or.us/sheriff • Our staff can verify the information is true. Give us a call at 541-265-4277 if you have questions about a service or need to connect with someone in our Office.

Wishing you a safe and happy New Year! Our Administrative Offices will be closed tomorrow for New Year's Day, but our Patrol and Corrections Deputies are working their regular shifts. If you are celebrating tonight remember these tips to help keep our communities safe: 🎉 Don't drink and drive. If you plan to drink, have a designated driver, take a cab, or stay the night. 🎉 Don't pressure others to drink alcohol and make sure non-alcoholic drinks are available. 🎉 Keep alcohol and other substances away from youth and pets. 🎉 Fireworks, music, and parties may stress your pets. Ensure pets are wearing ID tags with current information and they are safely secured before the party. Ensure pet licenses and microchips are updated so they can be easily reunited with you. 🎉 Communicate with neighbors before the celebration and work together to respectfully address noise levels and other potential disturbances.
