🚨Deputy Freerksen Arrests Driver for DUII After Wrong-Way Driving in Coos Bay🚨
On April 11, 2025, at approximately 8:30 PM, Deputy Freerksen was patrolling the Bunker Hill area of Coos Bay when he observed a blue Toyota Rav4 driving the wrong way on Edwards Rd. A traffic stop was conducted in the 7-11 parking lot, and the driver was identified as Kristyn Standon (34).
During the stop, Deputy Freerksen noted signs of impairment, including slurred speech, glossy and red eyes, and the odor of alcohol. Standon attempted to mask the alcohol scent by chewing gum.

Her BAC was determined, and she was issued a criminal citation for DUII.
The Coos County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to keeping our roads safe. Please drive responsibly and never drink and drive. 🚔

🚨 Coos County Sheriff’s Office: DUII Arrest in Bunker Hill
On April 5, 2025, at approximately 7:40 PM, Deputy Freerksen was patrolling Bunker Hill in Coos Bay when the Sheriff’s Office received a report of a vehicle driving recklessly. At the same time, a citizen directly flagged down Deputy Freerksen with a matching description of a Gold 2002 Dodge Ram 1500.
Deputy Freerksen located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop at Edwards Rd. and Newport Ln. for an improper right turn and failure to signal 100 feet prior. The driver, identified as Phillip J. Harpdeere (50), exited the vehicle, showing clear signs of impairment—swaying, struggling to walk, and smelling strongly of alcohol.
After being informed of the reason for the stop, Harpdeere consented to Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST). Based on the results, he was arrested for DUII and transported to the Coos Bay Police Department for further testing. Harpdeere was issued a criminal citation for DUII.
Deputy Freerksen thanks the community for their vigilance and encourages everyone to report suspected impaired drivers. Together, we can keep Coos County roads safe! 🚓

🚨 Deputy Z. Smith Makes Arrest 🚨
On April 8, 2025, around 1:21 PM, Deputy Z. Smith was cruising down Libby Lane toward Charleston when he spotted a silver SUV breaking traffic rules. He pulled the vehicle over to have a chat.
The driver, who claimed he had no ID, was acting super shady and dodging questions. Turns out, he was 35-year-old William Bledsoe, who wasn’t supposed to be behind the wheel and had an active warrant! Busted! 😬 Deputy Smith arrested him for the warrant and for trying to pull a fast one by giving false info.
But wait, there’s more—during a search, Deputy Smith found suspected methamphetamine on Bledsoe. So, William was booked for the warrant, giving false info to a peace officer, and possession of a controlled substance. He was taken to Coos County Jail, then transferred to Curry County, where he’s on probation.
The suspected meth is headed to the Oregon State Crime Lab for testing. Awesome job, Deputy Smith, keeping our roads safe! 💪 Let’s give a shoutout to our deputies working hard for Coos County! #SheriffStrong #CommunityFirst

🚨 April Fools Day Arrest 🚨
On April 1, 2025, around 10:30 PM, Deputy Freerksen was patrolling south on Hwy 101 when he noticed a green Chevy Silverado acting suspiciously—slowing down below the speed limit as he approached. The driver then sped up to zip through a yellow light, despite having plenty of time to stop safely. Deputy Freerksen conducted a traffic stop at Newport and Edwards Rd.
The driver, Troy Newsted, 57, was found to have a revoked license and was arrested for Driving While Suspended (Misdemeanor). The passenger, Jennifer Heffinger, 53, had an active warrant. While speaking with her, Deputy Freerksen caught her trying to toss suspected methamphetamine roadside—bold move, but not bold enough! 😎
Both were taken to Coos County Jail. Newsted faces charges for driving while suspended, and Heffinger was booked for her warrant plus Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine. The substance tested positive for meth and weighed about 4.5 grams.
Great work by Deputy Freerksen keeping our roads safe! 💪 Stay vigilant, Coos County! #SheriffStrong #CommunitySafetyPhotos from Coos County Sheriff's Office's post
