Description

On April 27th at about 8 a.m., the Lane County Sheriff's Office received a report of a suicidal subject in the Creswell area who was likely armed with a handgun. Deputies soon located the subject on the second floor of a warehouse in the 33400 block of West Lane, Creswell. The person was confirmed to be armed with a handgun and made suicidal statements.  Deputies and officers assigned to the Lane County Sheriff's Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT) responded and spoke with the subject over the next several hours. Deputies assigned to the Lane County Sheriff's Special Response Team (SRT) also responded.  The call was unique as the person had committed only a low-level misdemeanor crime, but was armed and on someone else's property. At one point the subject fired a round from the handgun toward an area inside where SRT deputies had staged earlier in the incident. Deputies remained calm and continued working towards a peaceful resolution. It was later determined that the round was fired on accident. No one was injured.  After approximately 9 hours of negotiation, the subject followed instructions to be safely detained. The person was then transported to an area hospital for further assistance. Their name is being withheld as no criminal action was taken.  Thanks to Coburg Police Department and Junction City Police Department, who have officers assigned to CNT, and the property owners for their assistance during this incident.
