This Thanksgiving we’re thankful for our community, family and friends, and stretchy pants. Our Administrative Offices are closed for the day. Patrol and Corrections Deputies are working their regular shifts and wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving! A few friendly reminders as you get ready for the big feast: - Make sure the turkey is the only thing getting baked. Stay sober if you’re getting behind the wheel. - Preparing a big meal isn’t the only thing that can be stressful this week. Holidays can be tough for different reasons. Take time to check in with others, especially if you are concerned about them or know they are having a hard time. - Speeding to get to Grandma’s house? Slow down - a ticket is not what she had in mind when she asked if you could bring napkins. - Take time to connect with loved ones. Though we’re just a 911 call away, your friends and family really are more fun to share the day with.

DRIVING DROWSY It is always important to stay alert while driving, especially during this time of year when weather conditions can rapidly become hazardous. Driving while drowsy or tired is especially dangerous. Sleepiness slows your reaction time, decreases awareness, and impairs your judgment just like drugs or alcohol. People who are very sleepy behave in similar ways to people who are drunk. Below are several safety tips to keep in mind before hitting the road. To remain alert and avoid drowsiness: • Getting plenty of sleep the night before a long trip. • If you are tired, find a safe place to stop and take a nap or have an alert passenger drive. • Traveling at times when you are normally awake and staying overnight rather than driving straight through. • Schedule a break every two hours or every 100 miles. • Stop driving if you become sleepy. Someone who is tired could fall asleep at any time. Fatigue impacts reaction time, judgment, and vision, causing people who are very sleepy to behave in similar ways to those who are drunk. • Avoid working all day and then driving all night. • Drink a caffeinated beverage. Since it takes about 30 minutes for caffeine to enter the bloodstream, find a safe place to take a 20-30 minute nap while you’re waiting for the caffeine to take effect. • Avoid sleepy times of day. Take a mid-afternoon nap and find a place to sleep between midnight and 6 a.m. • Traveling with an awake passenger. You are too tired to drive if you’re experiencing any of the following: • Having trouble keeping your eyes open and focused. • The inability to keep your head up. • Daydreaming or having wandering, disconnected thoughts. • Drifting from your lane or off the road or tailgating. • Yawning frequently or rubbing your eyes repeatedly. • Missing signs or driving past your intended exit. • Feeling irritable and restless. • Being unable to remember how far you have traveled or what you have recently passed.

Media Release November 26, 2025 On November 25, 2025, 55-year-old Larry Clunette Boles Jr., of Seal Rock, Oregon, was arrested and booked into the Lincoln County Jail on multiple charges related to child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Boles faces charges under ORS 163.684 – Encouraging Child Sexual Abuse in the First Degree and ORS 163.686 – Encouraging Child Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree. This arrest follows the conclusion of a comprehensive investigation led by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Unit, in collaboration with the Lincoln City Police Department, Oregon State Police, Toledo Police Department, Newport Police Department, and the Oregon Department of Justice Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. The investigation was initiated after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) received a tip from an electronic service provider that had identified suspected CSAM being distributed on its platform. NCMEC subsequently referred the information to law enforcement. As part of the investigation, detectives executed multiple subpoenas and search warrants, leading to the seizure and forensic examination of several electronic devices belonging to Mr. Boles. These devices contained evidence of both possession and distribution of CSAM. “The distribution of images depicting the sexual abuse of children revictimizes individuals who have already endured significant trauma,” said Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Detective Anthony Bettencourt. “We are committed to thoroughly investigating these crimes and pursuing justice for the victims.” The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office extends its gratitude to all partner agencies for their collaboration and continued efforts to protect vulnerable members of our community.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING SAFETY With the holiday season beginning there are many things to keep in mind, including travel safety, winter weather preparation, and shopping security. Below are some tips to keep in mind as you shop this holiday season. Shopping In-Stores: • Be alert and aware. Be attentive to your surroundings. • Don’t carry more cash or valuables than necessary. • Take extra precautions with your wallet or purse. Carry your purse with the opening flap next to your body and the strap hung over your shoulder. • Review shopping safety with children and always know where they are. Before going shopping, decide where to meet if you become separated. • Always lock your car doors and remember where you park. • Be sure to place valuables out of sight. Place them in the trunk or take them with you. • Never hide spare keys in or on your car. If you need spare keys, keep them in your wallet or purse. • Be alert to suspicious persons or circumstances. Avoid parking where you see someone sitting in their vehicle for no apparent reason. • Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe in a situation, report it to security immediately. • When walking in any parking lot, store, airport, shopping center, etc., walk confidently with your head up, make eye contact, and have your keys or phone ready. • Use appropriate marked driving lanes and obey all traffic signs. • Drive defensively and courteously. • Remember, parking lots will be more crowded and checkout lanes will be busier, please be patient and plan to spend more time commuting and shopping. Shopping Online: • Use trusted and reputable websites with secure payment systems and be cautious with personal information. • Before entering any sensitive information, make sure the website has a secure connection. Look for a padlock symbol and "https://" in the website URL. • Use strong and unique passwords for your online accounts. • Keep your devices, operating systems, and security software up to date to protect your device and information. • Be aware of deals that seem too good to be true. Scammers use enticing offers to trick shoppers. • Trust your instincts. If something feels off about a website or a product, trust your gut and consider shopping elsewhere. • Help prevent packages from being stolen: o Schedule deliveries to arrive when you will be home or have them delivered to your office. o Have a trusted neighbor or friend pick up your packages if you won’t be home. o Install a security camera on your property. o Have packages delivered to a shipping store. If you hold a post office box, use USPS for shipping and take advantage of their package lockers to receive your items. Some post offices allow boxholders to use it’s street address, with the customer’s box number as the “unit” number for deliveries from other carriers.

Media Release November 10, 2025 Successful Search and Rescue Mission Near Tidewater, OR On November 6, 2025, at approximately 11:30 PM, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a missing hunter in the Harris Ranch area, just off Highway 34 near Tidewater, OR. The individual had contacted family members to report that he was lost and in need of assistance. A patrol sergeant from the Sheriff’s Office responded to the area and met with the hunter’s family and friends near the location where the hunter’s vehicle was found. Initial efforts to pinpoint the hunter’s location indicated he was in a steep drainage area with dense brush and limited visibility. Due to the challenging terrain and heavy undergrowth, the decision was made to deploy the Lincoln County Search and Rescue (SAR) team. SAR personnel arrived on scene and began their search in the area where the hunter was believed to be. They located several personal items that confirmed the hunter’s earlier presence and tracked a trail of belongings further down the drainage. A second SAR team approached from the bottom of the drainage and successfully located the hunter, who was found wet and cold but otherwise uninjured. After a medical evaluation, it was determined the hunter was able to walk out on his own. He was escorted to waiting vehicles and reunited with his family and friends. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind all outdoor enthusiasts to be prepared for changing weather conditions, especially in remote wilderness areas. When venturing out in rainy or windy weather, wear clothing that is water-resistant and windproof. Avoid cotton garments, as they retain moisture and can rapidly draw heat from the body, increasing the risk of hypothermia. Stay safe, stay prepared, and always let someone know your plans before heading into the wilderness.Photos from Lincoln County Sheriff's Office - Oregon's post

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month (a.k.a. No-Shave November) used to be our team’s excuse to grow glorious (and occasionally rowdy) beards in the name of awareness. Now that beards are part of our everyday dress code, we’re still committed to the cause, just a little less hairy now. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, but awareness and early action can save lives. Risk factors include age, family history, and lifestyle. While some risks, like genetics, can’t be changed, things like diet, exercise, and regular screenings, can be managed. Many prostate cancers grow slowly, but some are aggressive. That’s why early detection matters. Talk to your healthcare provider about when to begin screening -especially if you're over 50 or have a higher risk. Learn more about prostate cancer, view statistics, and find resources here: www.cancer.org/cancer/prostate-cancer.html
