The second week of April we take time to recognize and thank those that answer approximately 93,000 calls every year in our county. They are the first, first responders you will likely never meet in person. Dispatchers answer calls and send deputies and medics to help. They stay on the phone during the worst moments of many people's lives while they wait for help to arrive. The Sheriff’s Office has around a dozen Dispatchers serving the citizens of Lane County. They cover the dispatch center operations 24/7, with 2 to 4 dispatchers working at a time. They dispatch for not only the Sheriff’s Office, but also Coburg Police Department, Oakridge Police Department, Oakridge Fire Department, Lane Community College Security (after hours), Parole and Probation, the investigative team for the District Attorney’s Office, Junction City Police (at night) and Lane County Mobile Crisis Services. During major incidents, officers from other agencies will often switch to our radio channels as well to improve communication between responders. When the phone rings they never know what’s going to be on the other side. They answer the phone ready with their extensive training and years of experience, prepared to answer a simple question or help save a life. Thank you to all our dispatchers that have devoted their careers to helping others!

It’s National Pet Day – and time to introduce Lulu! In the summer of 2024, Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a house fire. The incident was tragic. The resident was deceased, along with several pet cats. Then they found Lulu. “I almost stepped on her, she was so small,” said Deputy Grotefend. The deputy scooped the kitten up and put her in a patrol car to keep her safe while she continued investigating the incident. Family of the resident supported Deputy Grotefend keeping Lulu and attempting to save her. During a trip to the vet after her shift was over, Deputy Grotefend learned Lulu’s eyes were infected and she had a urinary tract infection. She weighed in at six ounces. The vet estimated Lulu was only a few weeks old and wouldn’t have lasted another day. Deputy Grotefend made several more trips to the vet, paying for Lulu’s care and taking her almost everywhere off-duty. She was so small she rode around in a purse for several weeks. Lulu also had some good protectors to watch out for her and teach her things as she grew – Deputy Grotefend’s two labradoodles. They may have missed the mark a little, as Lulu is known to come when called, walk on a leash, and pant like a dog now... Less than a year later, Lulu is completely healed and weighs six pounds. While still not a canine, she is known to visit the office from time to time! #CommittedToJusticeAndIntegrity #SwornToProtectLaneCounty #HonoredToServePhotos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post

3/28/25 - LCSO Case #21-2172 Lane County man sentenced to prison for shooting On April 16th, 2021, Lane County Sheriff's deputies responded shooting at a 2-acre property near Eugene where elderly owners allowed numerous people to live. Lane County Sheriff’s detectives then responded along with Oregon State Troopers and Eugene Police officers. Initial investigation determined the suspect, Darren Woods, had shot the victim two times with a handgun as the victim was returning home. Video surveillance corroborated victim and witness statements that this shooting was completely unprovoked. It was determined that Woods, who had only lived at the location for a few days, had never met and did not know victim, who had lived at the location for years. After shooting the victim, Woods fled the location in his pickup after ramming the victim's vehicle to escape. Probable Cause was established and an arrest warrant for Woods along with an Attempt to Locate for his vehicle were issued. On April 25th, 2021, Woods was stopped in a different vehicle by a California Highway Patrol (CHP) Officer in Susanville, California, for speeding, and he was arrested on the warrant. The following day, the pickup Woods had been driving at the time of the incident was recovered. Over the course of the next four years, this case was postponed numerous times due to COVID court schedules, Woods cutting his ankle monitor and fleeing supervision, and other court proceedings. Finally, on March 13th, 2025, trial began. As a result of the Lane Count District Attorney's Office prosecution, Woods was found guilty by a jury of Assault in the First Degree, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and Unlawful Use of a Weapon. On March 28th, 2025, Woods was sentenced to 90 months in the Oregon Department of Corrections. The victim survived, but sustained permanent disabilities from his injuries. Woods' still faces criminal charges in Benton County stemming from a vehicle pursuit that occurred after Woods cut his ankle monitor in the summer of 2024. The Lane County Sheriff's Office would like to thank the many agencies that assisted on this case over the past several years.

4/9/25 - LCSO Case #25-1431 Lane County Sheriff’s detectives charge Veneta man with internet crimes against children On March 24th, the Lane County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a suicidal subject who lived in the 88000 block of Crystal Street, Veneta. The involved subject, Andrew Page Bledsoe, had traveled to Portland, Oregon, to meet a 13-year-old female. Instead, Bledsoe encountered a private group that investigates child predators. He left the Portland area and told a friend he was suicidal. Deputies were unable to locate Bledsoe. The incident did not result in criminal charges out of Portland, however a Lane County Sheriff’s detective on the Lane County Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force began investigating. The investigation turned up potential internet crimes spanning multiple jurisdictions in Oregon, across the United States, and internationally. This evidence was discovered independent of the incident in Portland. Detectives requested assistance from the Oregon State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigations due to the scope of the case. Together, they were able to track Bledsoe to Caldwell, Idaho. On April 3rd, the Lane County District Attorney’s Office was granted a nationwide arrest warrant for Bledsoe, and he was arrested minutes later by the Caldwell Police Department. He is now awaiting extradition to Lane County, where he will initially be charged with 5 counts of Encouraging Child Sex Abuse in the First Degree. This arrest is part of an ongoing effort by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to combat child exploitation and protect vulnerable members of our community. Thanks to the many agencies who participate in the Lane County ICAC Task Force and collaborate to make this work possible.

Early in the morning on April 7th, Lane County Sheriff's Search & Rescue volunteers responded in the evening to assist Oakridge Police with locating two missing juveniles who were believed to have gone exploring in the woods the day before. They had planned to return in the evening. SAR volunteers located the juveniles in Box Canyon with their vehicle, which had broken down, and reunited them with family. 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 ice 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! Nearly every week, Lane County Sheriff's Search & Rescue volunteers assist our residents and visitors in all types of environments. Learn more about our Search & Rescue program or donate to their work at: www.lanecounty.org/government/county_departments/sheriff_s_office/volunteers/search_and_rescue
