•••Deputy Burgo Responds to Suspicious Vehicle Incident, Leads to Arrests for DUII and Douglas County Warrant•••

On October 12, 2024, at approximately 6:10 AM, North Coos dispatch received a report about a suspicious vehicle parked in the middle of Millington Frontage Road near Highway 101. The vehicle, with its daytime running lights illuminated, was stationary.

Deputy A. Burgo arrived on the scene at around 6:16 AM and found two males asleep inside the vehicle. Tony Florez, age 20, was in the driver's seat, while Tristan Sherritt, age 19, occupied the passenger seat. The interior of the vehicle was cluttered with open cans and bags of alcohol, along with nitrous oxide canisters, commonly known as "whip-its," indicating prior inhalation.

After identifying both individuals, Deputy Burgo discovered through dispatch that Florez had a misdemeanor Driving While Suspended (DWS) status and an outstanding warrant from Douglas County.

It was learned that both individuals had consumed alcohol and used whip-its before Florez drove the vehicle and subsequently fell asleep on Millington Frontage Road.

Florez was arrested for his outstanding warrant and transported to the Coos County Jail. While at the jail, Florez received citations for driving under the influence and DWS misdemeanor.

Sherritt was cited on the scene for Minor in Possession of Alcohol.

“Police action is not indicative of guilt. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.”
