11/30/25 - Deputies arrested 8 drivers for DUII over the week, 4 on Saturday alone. Several involved crashes. Each of these cases could have ended tragically, as our deputies often see out on our roads.    
  
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office does not have a dedicated traffic team or deputy assigned to DUI enforcement due to lack of funding. However, our deputies are committed to the safety of our community, and that includes our roadways.     
  
Please consider others if you choose to drink or use drugs:     
🚙 Plan your safe ride home ahead of time     
🍺 If you drink or use drugs, do not drive for any reason     
🔑 If you know someone has been drinking or using drugs, don't let them drive     
💃 If you host a party with alcohol, make sure all guests leave with a sober driver     
👍 And please, always wear your seatbelt!     
  
Please drive safe this holiday season!
