12/24/25 - Deputies working DUI overtime during the holidays   
  
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office does not have a dedicated traffic team or deputy assigned to DUI enforcement due to lack of funding. However, our deputies are committed to the safety of our community, and that includes our roadways.     
  
December through January 1st, deputies will be conducting targeted DUI enforcement on state grant-funded overtime. Please don’t be their next traffic stop, especially on Christmas!   
  
🚙 Plan your safe ride home ahead of time     
🍺 If you drink or use drugs, do not drive for any reason     
🔑 If you know someone has been drinking or using drugs, don't let them drive     
💃 If you host a party with alcohol, make sure all guests leave with a sober driver     
👍 And please, always wear your seatbelt!     
  
Drive safe this holiday season!   
  
On December 21st at 2 a.m., a deputy leaving the office downtown observed a vehicle run a red light at E. 7th Avenue and Oak Street. The deputy conducted a traffic stop and contacted the driver, Ricardo Corona Garibay, 26, of Salem, and observed signs of impairment. After additional investigation, Garibay was arrested for DUII.    
  
On December 23rd at 5:30 p.m., a driver on Jasper Road near Wallace Creek reported a vehicle swerving into the oncoming lane, almost striking another vehicle, and driving with inconsistent speed. A deputy responded and initiated a traffic stop, however instead of pulling over, the vehicle went off the road, struck a power pole, and continued driving in the ditch for a short distance. The deputy observed signs the driver, James P Littlebear Simmons, 63, of Medford, was impaired. After additional investigation, Simmons was arrested for DUII.    
  
At 7 p.m., deputies responded to a single-vehicle crash off Lawrence Road that damaged several mailboxes. The driver continued and was initially followed by a witness. Deputies located the vehicle stopped at a pullout off Clear Lake Road. They contacted the driver, Ethan David Wood, 30, of Springfield, and observed signs of impairment. After additional investigation, Wood was arrested for DUII and Failure to Perform Duties of a Driver - Property Damage. Featured News by Lane County Sheriff
