2/1/26 - Lane County Sheriff’s K9 locates trespasser, investigation leads to felon in possession of a firearm and drugs
On February 1st at 4:30 in the morning, Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the 90800 block of Highway 99, north of Eugene, for a report of two trespassers on a large business property. Deputies contacted a male, Ryan Howard Pruett, 37, of Eugene, in a vehicle nearby, but could not determine he was one of the trespassers.
K9 Tito was deployed, and despite the pouring rain he quickly led deputies to a cluster of cars on the property and alerted. Deputies announced themselves, and the person hiding, Olivia Mae Johnston, 35, of Eugene, was detained. Pruett was determined to be involved in the original call.
Deputies located Pruett again, and he was detained as well. Deputies then observed a firearm in the vehicle. As Pruett is a felon, deputies authored a search warrant for the vehicle, which was granted by a judge.
During the search of the vehicle, deputies located ammunition and methamphetamine in addition to the pistol. After additional investigation, Johnston was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail for Trespass in the 2nd Degree. Pruett was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail for Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Possession of Methamphetamine – Misdemeanor.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post

The national seat belt use rate in 2023 was 91.9%.
The Click It or Ticket campaign focuses on the remaining 8.1% who still don’t buckle up.
Why?
Thousands of lives could be saved each year if every person buckled up while on the road. According to NHTSA, half of the 25,000 passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes in the US in 2022 weren't using seat belts.
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office does not have regular funding for dedicated traffic enforcement. However, our deputies are committed to the safety of our community, and that includes patrolling our roadways. Deputies will be using federal grant funding to staff additional traffic safety patrols on overtime through February 8th.
Deputies will be on the lookout for improper seatbelt use and all other dangerous driving behaviors.

1/26/26 - LCSO Case 26-0411 - Lane County Sheriff’s K9 apprehends wanted man near Cottage Grove
On January 26th at 5 p.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence in the 31800 block of Cottage Grove Lorane Road, to look for Robert David Clark, 44, of Cottage Grove. Clark had warrants for his arrest out of Umatilla County for Trespass in the 1st Degree and Theft in the 3rd Degree, and out of Morrow County for Trespass in the 1st Degree, Trespass in the 2nd Degree, and Unlawful Entry into a Motor Vehicle.
Deputies contacted Clark at the front door of the residence. Instead of cooperating, he ran out the back door. A sergeant responded with K9 Hektor and began searching the area. Clark was eventually located by K9 Hektor hiding in the shed of a nearby property.
Clark refused to exit, and attempted to hold the door closed despite admonishments that a K9 would be deployed. K9 Hektor made entry and apprehended Clark. Deputies saw smoke start to rise from behind the door and heard a hissing noise. Once Clark was in custody, deputies discovered K9 Hektor had latched onto Clark through a cell phone in his pocket – which then proceeded to catch fire.
Clark was cleared on scene by medics and lodged at the Lane County Jail on the warrants and an additional charge of Trespass in the 2nd Degree.
K9 Hektor was uninjured.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post

❄ There is even MORE snow in the mountains! ❄
On Saturday evening, Lane County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue volunteers responded to assist two hikers who became lost in the area of Salt Creek Falls off of Highway 58 and were not prepared to be out overnight. They were located and guided back to their vehicle.
On Sunday, SAR volunteers with the Special Vehicles Group responded to assist the occupants of a sedan that was stuck in snow on a National Forest road south of Brice Creek Road. With temperatures dropping and snow continuing to fall, SAR volunteers found the vehicle and assisted the driver and two passengers back down to the valley.
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!
🌊 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.
