Helicopter Crash – Update 02  
  
On January 15, 2026, at approximately 08:37am, The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office received reports of an unknown crash near the 2800 block of Moonshine Park Rd in Logsden, OR. While enroute, Deputies learned the incident involved a helicopter, which crashed into a cow pasture. The crash did not physically harm nearby structures, individuals, or livestock. There is no ongoing threat to the community.  
  
Responders contacted the pilot onsite, who was the sole occupant of the commercially operated Bell JetRanger helicopter. The pilot suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported for further evaluation and treatment.   
  
The cause of the crash is still unknown and under investigation. The investigation has been turned over to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).Photos from Lincoln County Sheriff's Office - Oregon's post Featured News by Lincoln County Sheriff
This morning, a community member saw open doors at a business on SE TV Hwy and called police to check it out.  
  
That call led Hillsboro Police to interrupt a burglary in progress at 6101 SE TV Hwy. One suspect, Hunter David Henry Belch, 26, barricaded himself inside and refused commands. A Hillsboro Police K9 team safely located and took him into custody. Belch was wanted for burglary and theft, and was charged with criminal trespass.  
  
A second suspect, Edgar Agustin Perez, 37, was found by a police officer hiding in a shelled-out rooftop air conditioning unit. Perez had accessed the roof from inside the building. Drone teams from Hillsboro Police and Washington County assisted with the coordinated search. Hillsboro Fire used a ladder truck to bring Perez down safely. He was wanted for a parole violation related to sexual assault and was charged with criminal trespass and failure to register as a sex offender.  
  
This was a calm, coordinated response involving Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Beaverton Police, Hillsboro Fire, and our K9 and drone teams.  
  
We have the tools and training to resolve high-risk situations safely. If something doesn’t look right, call us.
