12/23/25 - LCSO Case 25-6185   
  
Junction City man arrested after ramming vehicle in driveway   
  
On December 23rd at 11 p.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence in the 27800 block of Highway 36, east of Cheshire, for a reported hit and run. Deputies contacted the victims nearby and learned they had been rammed by a rental box truck as they drove down the driveway. The truck, driven by Christopher Eugene Starnes, 46, of Junction City, also smashed through a gate on the property.    
  
While deputies were speaking with the victims, another caller reported Starnes was being disorderly and walking around naked on the property while holding a large knife. Starnes then left the property in the box truck.    
  
Deputies located the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. Starnes was arrested without further incident, and a large knife was located in the vehicle. He was lodged at the Lane County Jail for three counts of Attempted Assault in the 4th Degree, Failure to Perform Duties of a Driver - Property Damage, and two counts of Criminal Mischief in the 2nd Degree.    
  
Thanks to Junction City Police for their assistance on this call. Featured News by Lane County Sheriff
