12/18/25 - Deputies arrest Creswell man after barricade, Eugene couple targeting local business in separate calls   
  
On December 17th at 10:30 p.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence in the 82100 block of Davisson Road, south of Creswell, to contact Jose Donaldo DeLeon, 32, of Creswell. Several days before, DeLeon had entered a residence without permission and slashed the victim’s tires.    
  
Last night when deputies arrived, DeLeon barricaded inside his residence, a small shed. Deputies spoke with DeLeon over the phone as an armored rescue vehicle and members of the Lane County Sheriff’s Crisis Negotiation Team responded to assist. After attempts at negotiation failed, an arrest warrant was granted by a Lane County Circuit Court judge, allowing entry to the residence.    
  
Deputies deployed pepper spray into the shed without effect. Deputies then forced a door open, and arrested DeLeon without further incident. He was lodged at the Lane County Jail for Criminal Trespass in the 1st Degree, Criminal Mischief in the 2nd Degree, and Disorderly Conduct in the 2nd Degree.    
  
On December 18th at 1 a.m., while deputies were still working through the above call, a report of people stealing gas from a business in Glenwood came in. Deputies responded observed Kevin Raye Fanning, 59, and Kristina Michelle Cole, 45, both of Eugene, siphoning gas from a company vehicle. Cole initially provided a false name, however deputies identified them and determined they both had warrants for their arrest. During a search of the vehicle belonging to Fanning, a felon, deputies located a firearm.    
  
Cole was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail for:   
 - Criminal Trespass in the 2nd Degree   
 - Theft in the 3rd Degree   
 - Giving False Information to a Peace Officer   
 - A Marion County Circuit Court warrant for Theft in the 2nd Degree   
 - A Lane County probation warrant for Possession of Methamphetamine    
  
Fanning was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail for:   
 - Felon in Possession of a Firearm   
 - Theft in the 3rd Degree   
 - Eugene Municipal Court failure to appear warrants for Giving False Information to a Peace Officer, Trespass in the 1st Degree, and Failure to Report as a Sex Offender.    
  
Due to limited staffing, several deputies worked overtime well past the end of their shifts due to these calls. Thanks to Oregon State Police for their assistance on Davisson Road. Featured News by Lane County Sheriff

DEER AND ELK WINTER MIGRATION  
  
The Central Oregon Coast is experiencing its seasonal cold weather. Although the weather slows down our daily commute, we are not nearly as affected as wildlife, specifically elk and deer.   
  
Natural food sources are lean in the upper elevations in the coast range during the winter as snow falls, covering the ground. This time of year with snow accumulation in the coast range and freezing temperatures periodically down to sea level, elk and deer may move to even lower elevations to find adequate food.   
  
These additional movements often mean that the animals are crossing major roads both day and night which creates hazards to motorists. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office would like motorists and spectators to be mindful of the animal movements. If you see one deer cross in front of you, chances are there is another one behind.    
  
Please take into account that the animals are often stressed due to additional migration in search of food. When spectating please keep a minimum distance of 100 yards from wildlife. If the animals begin to move from your presence, don’t follow them. Oregon Revised Statute 498.006 does protect the chasing or harassing of wildlife. Featured News by Lincoln County Sheriff
Beginning on December 18, 2025, the Lincoln County Jail will now offer access to video visitation in the lobby.

Established visitors can use the lobby kiosk to log directly into their existing account, while new users can create an account onsite.  
  
Lobby visitation is available daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Adult in custody availability may vary based on housing location and scheduling. Featured News by Lincoln County Sheriff
