10/19/26 - LCSO Deputies Arrest Seven DUI Drivers in the last 4 days   
  
From Thursday October 15th through Sunday October 18th Lane County Sheriff’s Deputies made seven individual arrests for DUI.  Two of these arrests occurred after the driver had been involved in a traffic crash.     
  
LCSO #26-5129 – On October 15th at about 12:05 am, deputies responded for the report of a lost subject in the Veneta area.  The person was eventually located in her vehicle.  The woman, 50-year-old Susan Marie Lane showed signs of impairment and deputies conducted an investigation.  Lane was ultimately arrested for DUII.  She was cited and released for the crime.     
  
LCSO # 26-5143 – On October 15th at about 6:50 pm, LCSO deputies responded to a motor vehicle crash reported in the 85700 block of Edenvale Road.  A vehicle struck a power pole and brought the pole and lines down on the roadway.  The crash also caused a section of field nearby to catch fire.  Thankfully firefighters were able to put the fire out quickly.   The driver was identified as 30-year-old Aubree Layne Jones, and she was transported to a local area hospital for treatment.  The investigation revealed Jones had driven her vehicle impaired.  Consequently, Jones was arrested for DUII, Reckless Driving, Reckless Endangering and Criminal Mischief. Jones was cited and released for these crimes.   
  
LCSO #26-5173 – On October 17th at about 11:00 am, a LCSO deputy observed a vehicle commit traffic violations while travelling on I-105 near Delta Highway.  The deputy attempted to stop the motorist using emergency lights and siren.  However, the driver was slow to respond and travelled multiple blocks before finally bringing the car to a stop.  Deputies contacted the driver, 40- year-old Kami Meesun Hendrix and deputies became concerned Hendrix had driven impaired. Deputies conducted an investigation and Hendrix was eventually arrested for DUII.  She was cited and released for the crime.   
  
LCSO #26-5190 - On October 17th at about 6:45 pm, Deputies responded to a verbal dispute occurring in the 93400 block of River Road.  Part of the dispute reportedly involved an intoxicated person attempting to leave in a vehicle. Deputies arrived and conducted an investigation.  It was learned that 55-year-old John Vincent Dolan had driven while intoxicated and he had also thrown a female to the ground during the dispute.  Dolan was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail for the Crimes of DUII and Physical Harassment.     
  
LCSO #26-5201 – On October 18th at about 4:25 pm, LCSO Deputies were dispatched to the report of a motor vehicle crash on Rattlesnake Road.  Deputies responded and contacted the driver, 41-year-old Jedidiah Daniel Lauer.  Lauer showed signs of intoxication, and he was ultimately arrested for DUII.  Lauer was cited and released for the crime.    
  
LCSO # 26-5203 - On October 18th at about 7:50 pm, deputies were dispatched to a report of a suspicious subject trespassing on private property in the 3700 block of Honolulu Avenue. The suspect left, but was identified as a neighbor, 36-year-old Isiah Walter Wagoner.  Wagoner was spotted driving in the area and contacted.  Wagoner showed signs of impairment, and he was ultimately arrested for DUII and lodged at the Lane County Jail for the crime.     
  
LCSO # 26-5205 – On October 18th at around 10:10 pm, a LCSO deputy stopped a motorist on Delta Highway near Goodpasture Island Road for traffic violations.  While contacting the driver, 33-year-old Jacob Dean Anderson, showed signs of intoxication.  Deputies ultimately arrested Anderson for DUII following the investigation.  Anderson was cited and released for the crime.    
  
The Lane County Sherrif’s Office does not have a dedicated traffic team and deputies do not always have time to conduct proactive traffic enforcement.  LCSO deputies continue to encounter impaired motorists on county roadways and often this is while traveling in between other priority calls for service.     
  
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office reminds everyone to drive safe.  Plan ahead if you are going to drink. Make sure you have a sober driver, or you can arrange for a ride home.  If you don’t have a plan, don’t plan to drink. Please help us keep our roadways safe for everyone. Featured News by Lane County Sheriff
