Lowell man arrested after search of Lowell, pursuit in Washington State

On November 15th at 12:30 a.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a menacing that occurred in the 400 block of Carol Street, Lowell. It was reported that Marcquis Andrew Lee White, 33, of Lowell, had menaced several people with a handgun and then fled in a vehicle.

Deputies responded with an armored rescue vehicle, drone, and K9 to search for White. They located his vehicle crashed nearby with a firearm inside. An alert to remain indoors was sent to residents in the area out of an abundance of caution.

Later in the morning while deputies were still searching in the area, a nearby duck hunter fired from a shotgun, unrelated to the call. Deputies did not deploy flash bangs during the incident.

Detectives eventually determined the suspect had left the area, and an all-clear notification was sent to residents.

Washington State Police later located White in a vehicle west of Spokane and arrested him after a pursuit. He is currently facing charges in Washington related to that incident. Once those charges are adjudicated, if extradited to Oregon he will face the following charges:
- Robbery in the 1st Degree
- Strangulation
- Assault in the 4th Degree (Felony)
- Menacing
- Interfering with Making a Report
- Coercion

Thanks to Washington State Police for their assistance on this case.
