On March 27th at about 5 a.m., deputies responded to a residence in the 88700 block of Territorial Road for a report of a dispute. Residents reported a male known to them, Joseph Spencer Gale-Smith, 30, of Eugene, came onto their property and threatened another resident with a taser. Deputies located Gale-Smith driving nearby in a silver 2003 Honda CR-V and attempted a traffic stop. Gale-Smith stopped his vehicle, but then continued driving after a deputy attempt to speak with him. Deputies pursued, until the vehicle turned south on Highway 99 from Clear Lake Road, towards Eugene. A deputy then conducted a Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT), forcing the vehicle off of the road and preventing it from driving into the city. During arrest, deputies found Gale-Smith was in possession of methamphetamine. Gale-Smith was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail without further incident on the following charges: - Menacing; - Unlawful Use of a Weapon; - Felon in Possession of a Restricted Weapon; - Criminal Trespass in the 2nd Degree; - Attempt to Elude Police by Vehicle; - Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine (Misdemeanor); - Lane County Circuit Court warrant for a probation violation.
