3/26/25 - LCSO Case #25-1447 Deputies arrest Eugene man for kidnap, assault after talking him down from roof On March 26th at about 3 a.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence in the 3600 block of Stark Street, Eugene, for a report of a dispute. Deputies are familiar with the residence, having responded to the address more than 60 times in 2024 alone. A male at the location, Travis John Krebs, 34, of Eugene, had climbed onto the second story roof before deputies arrived. Despite his disorderly behavior, deputies were able to convince Krebs to climb down and go back inside as no crime had been committed. At about 4 a.m., deputies responded to the address again after receiving additional calls. When they arrived, Krebs was again on the roof. Deputies learned through their investigation that in the time since deputies first responded, Krebs had assaulted two other residents at the location. He then forced them into a room and barricaded them inside before again climbing onto the roof. Deputies again attempted to talk Krebs down from the second story roof, however his behavior began to deteriorate, and he threatened to jump. A deputy responded with a drone to maintain observation of Krebs as he moved around the roof. At one point, Krebs dismantled a metal chimney cover and threw it to the ground, almost striking a deputy. A deputy assigned to the Lane County Sheriff’s Crisis Negotiation Team was called out to assist. After about an hour and a half, Krebs climbed down from the roof and was arrested without further incident. Krebs was lodged at the Lane County Jail for 2 counts of Assault in the 4th Degree and 2 counts of Kidnapping in the 2nd Degree.
