Measles in Oregon: What you need to know
OHA release - Measles is spreading across the United States, and in Oregon. Measles is a virus that spreads very easily through the air when someone who is infected breathes, talks, coughs or sneezes. The virus can float in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves a room. Also: Hepatitis B vaccinations for infants, and screening for birth parents, are declining - What you should know: Fewer newborns are getting the hepatitis B vaccine at birth than they were four years ago. Fewer birth parents are being tested for hepatitis B during pregnancy. If a baby gets hepatitis B at birth, up to 90 percent will have it for life. About 25 percent of those children could die later from serious liver problems like cirrhosis or liver cancer if they don’t get treated.

Oregon reports measles outbreak; new wastewater dashboard tracks measles virus by county
PORTLAND, Ore.--A new data tracking tool Oregon Health Authority (OHA) launched Thursday shows the five confirmed measles cases identified in the state since Jan. 1 likely represent only a portion of infections occurring statewide, public health officials say. To strengthen early detection, OHA Thursday published a new measles wastewater surveillance dashboard showing viral concentrations by county and categorizing activity as very low, low, moderate or high over two-week periods. Wastewater monitoring began Oct. 1, 2025, and complements traditional case reporting. Oregon submits data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Wastewater Surveillance System, which uses a high threshold for labeling samples as a “detection.” While that approach has shown sporadic detections of measles over time, Oregon’s analysis of viral concentrations indicates low-level measles activity across the state that has been increasing. For the two-week period ending Feb. 7, low levels of measles virus were observed in wastewater from nine counties. “Wastewater surveillance serves as an early warning signal system, which gives communities a head start to prepare and empowers everyone to make informed decisions about immunization. Wastewater testing looks for the actual measles virus that causes illness in people, so it provides an early signal of community spread,” said Howard Chiou, M.D., Ph.D., medical director for communicable diseases and immunizations at OHA’s Public Health Division. “Measles is here in Oregon and spreading in the United States,” Chiou added, “and vaccination remains the best way for people to protect themselves. We encourage everyone to talk with a healthcare provider to ensure they and their families are fully protected.” Measles is a highly contagious respiratory virus spread through the air when an infected person breathes, speaks, coughs or sneezes. The virus can linger in the air for up to two hours, allowing it to infect up to 90% of unprotected close contacts and potentially cause serious complications, including pneumonia, brain inflammation and death. Measles has been increasing nationwide since early 2025, with nearly 2,300 cases reported last year. Most cases occurred among unvaccinated children.

The vehicle struck the roadside embankment and overturned, ejecting the driver. The vehicle came to an uncontrolled stop, partially blocking the highway. The operator (Ayers) was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries. On February 17, 2026, OSP was notified by hospital staff that Ayers had died from injuries sustained during the crash.

Third Arrest in Freemont Middle School Investigation, Douglas Co.
Douglas CO SO release - ROSEBURG, Ore. - The Douglas County Sheriff's Office has continued its investigation into reported injuries to students in the Developmental Learning Center at Fremont Middle School. During the course of the ongoing investigation, deputies reviewed additional evidence and conducted further interviews.

On Wednesday, February 18, 2026, Deputies contacted Williams regarding the investigation. Williams was ultimately taken into custody and transported to the Douglas County Jail, where he was lodged on six (6) counts of Official Misconduct in the First Degree and (6) six counts of Harassment. The Sheriff’s Office has worked closely with school district administrators since the initial report, and the district has been cooperative and responsive throughout the investigation. That partnership remains ongoing as both entities continue to prioritize student safety and the well-being of those impacted by the investigation. Anyone who believes to have information related to the investigation is encouraged to contact the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office at 541-440-4471 referencing case #26-0476.

On the Run Fugitive from Florence, Caught
Lane Co. SO release - On February 17th, 2026, detectives with the Chico Police Department arrested Jack Duane Crist, 48, of Florence, Oregon at an apartment in Chico, California. Crist was wanted in Lane County, Oregon on a Rape 1 conviction, and had led Lane County Sheriff’s detectives on a nearly 2-year search across multiple states. Crist was first arrested in this case in January of 2023, in Florence, Oregon. He later entered a guilty plea with the Lane County Circuit Court for Rape in the 1st Degree and Attempted Rape in the 1st Degree for an incident involving a juvenile victim. In June of 2024, Crist failed to appear for sentencing and a warrant was entered for the original charges of three counts of Rape in the 1st Degree, Sodomy in the 1st Degree, and Attempted Rape in the 1st Degree. Lane County Sheriff’s detectives learned Crist had likely fled to Alaska, but had little information to go on. They continued investigating and in 2024 confirmed he was in the area of West Plains, Missouri using an alias. Before local law enforcement located him, Crist fled the area. Detectives followed multiple leads, finally determining in early 2026 that he had been in Yucca, Arizona for approximately a year. Unfortunately, he had again left the area. Detectives determined he was likely in Bly, Oregon, east of Klamath Falls, and quickly moved in. On February 17th, detectives served a search warrant with assistance from the Oregon State Police SWAT Team. Two residents were arrested for their role in hindering prosecution, but Crist was not located. Detectives quickly determined Crist had fled to Chico, California, just days before. They contacted the Chico Police Department along with the U.S. Marshals Service. Chico Police detectives conducted a surveillance operation at the residence in the 1500 block of E. Lassen Avenue where Crist was believed to be, and within hours, observed him exiting the home. Due to his distinct physical characteristics, Detectives were able to positively identify the person as Crist and swiftly took him into custody without incident. Crist was arrested for his outstanding felony warrant and booked into the Butte County Jail to be held pending extradition by U.S. Marshals to Lane County, Oregon. It is believed Crist had been in hiding in multiple other states, including Arizona and Missouri, and may have been using the aliases of “Zane Carson” or “Jack Watson.” A photo of Crist is attached. Anyone who may have had contact with or was victimized by Crist during his time as a fugitive is encouraged to contact the Lane County Sheriff’s Office at (541) 682-4150 option 1. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the many agencies that assisted our detectives on this years-long, multi-state investigation: - U.S. Marshals Service offices in: Eugene and Medford, Oregon; Anchorage, Alaska; Springfield, Missouri; Flagstaff, Phoenix, and Yuma, Arizona; - Chico Police Department, California; - Mohave County Sheriff’s Office, Arizona; - Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, Arizona; - Oregon State Police; - Amtrak Police Department in Portland, Oregon. - Alaska State Troopers.

Missing Male, Vida Area, Lane Co.
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office is looking for 42-year-old Michael Trevor Owen Naughton of Eugene.

Lane County Sheriff's Search & Rescue is actively searching the area with assistance from Oregon State Police as well as drone operators from Mohawk Valley Fire and Upper McKenzie Rural Fire Protection District. His vehicle, a silver 2009 Ford Fusion with Idaho plates, has also not been located. Naughton may have driven or hitchhiked back into Eugene. Naughton is described as a white male adult, standing approximately 5’10” tall and weighing about 170 pounds. He has brown hair and blue eyes. It is unknown what he was last wearing. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the Lane County Sheriff’s Office at 541-682-4150 option 1.

Black Ice Fatal, Lakeside
OSP release - COOS COUNTY, Ore. (19 February 2026) – On Wednesday, February 18, 2026, at 6:09 a.m., the Oregon State Police responded to a three-vehicle fatal crash on Highway 101 near milepost 223 in Coos County. The preliminary investigation indicated a white Ford F-150 towing a flatbed trailer, operated by Matthew Rafael Gonzalez (30) of St. George, Utah, was traveling northbound on Hwy. 101 near Lakeside when it struck black ice. The operator lost control, struck the guardrail, crossed into the southbound lane, and collided with a tan Chevy Tracker operated by James Ervin Bramhall (64) of Lakeside. A blue Dodge 1500 pickup, operated by John Paul Burgmeier (24) of Coos Bay, then rear-ended the flatbed, also due to black ice on the roadway. The operator of the Chevy Tracker (Bramhall) was declared deceased at the scene. The operator of the Ford F-150 (Gonzalez) had reported minor injuries. The operator of the Dodge 1500 (Burgmeier) was reportedly not injured. The highway was impacted for approximately 3.5 hours during the on-scene investigation.

Dirt Track Racing Team
From Bill Huffman - We have a local dirt track team that is racing in the Southeast this winter. Last night Eric Luckman from Coos Bay raced in the Lucas Oil Late model series at All-Tech in Northern Flordia. He won the B main race. That advanced him to the AMain where he started 18th and finished 15th. During the B Main the announcers were talking quite a bit about how far Coos Bay Oregon is from Florida. Don't know if this fits in the Sports section. It was a thrill to watch this race live on FloRacing.
