On October 21st at about 6:30 p.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence in the 32100 block of Latham Road, south of Cottage Grove, for a dispute. The callers were able to exit the residence, leaving only Ashley Marie Carter, 34, of Cottage Grove, inside. As deputies investigated, they determined there was probable cause to arrest Carter for Menacing APA (Abuse Prevention Act), a mandatory arrest for law enforcement in Oregon.  Deputies attempted to deescalate Carter and gain cooperation, however she refused to exit and armed herself with a knife. Deputies applied for and were granted a search warrant to enter the residence to arrest Carter. Several less lethal tools were used, including a Taser. Carter was still uncooperative and attempted to hide inside the residence. K9 Hector was deployed. Carter then complied with commands and was arrested without further incident.  Carter was lodged at the Lane County Jail for Menacing APA, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and Resisting Arrest.  The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Cottage Grove Police Department and Oregon State Police for their assistance on this call.
