This is another update from our 20th District sponsored Rotary Peace Fellow, Upendo Chitinka Jackson from Tanzania.

Over the summer, Upendo completed her Applied Field Experience in New York, winning great praise from her colleagues during her volunteer position at an artistic gallery there. She is now back at the Peace Center at the International Christian University in Tokyo and writes the following:

Dear Carol,

So good to hear from you.

Yes, I will complete my fellowship in June and graduate in July. I have good news! ICU funded my project in Tanzania and I will be going to implement it in March. I will share more by next month. So far we had our AFE presentations, completed the winter term, and I am working on my thesis.

Ark is growing and understands English, Japanese and Swahili words. He is so amazing. Please find the attached photo.

Upendo

LCSO Cases 26-0475, 26-0716, 26-0735 Lane County Sheriff’s property crimes detective recovers multiple stolen firearms, suspect outstanding On January 30th, a homeowner in the 15700 block of Highway 36, Deadwood, reported a burglary. Several firearms and other items were stolen. The Lane County Sheriff’s property crimes detective began investigating the case and soon identified suspects and a vehicle from the victim’s security video. On February 12th, an Oregon State Police (OSP) detective located the suspect vehicle near Armitage Park north of Eugene. It was occupied by one of the suspects, Tina Jean Devault, 57, of Noti. During a search of the vehicle, detectives located approximately 1 pound of methamphetamine. OSP detectives handled the drug possession investigation. Devault was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail on a Parole Violation warrant from convictions for Possession of Methamphetamine and Cocaine. OSP detectives later added new charges for Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Cocaine, and Delivery of Methamphetamine. Based on information obtained during the investigation, our property crimes detective authored a search warrant for a property in the 21400 block of Highway 126, east of Noti. Later that evening, deputies assigned to the Lane County Sheriff’s Special Response Team (SRT), Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT), and detectives served a search warrant at the property. The response on Highway 126 during evening commute time was widely shared on social media at the time. While serving the warrant, a second suspect, Beau Russell Anderson, 38, of Noti, was located in possession of a firearm and arrested. Detectives also located stolen firearms and a stolen vehicle not related to the original burglary case. Anderson was lodged at the Lane County Jail for Burglary in the 2nd Degree, Aggravated Theft in the 1st Degree, Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle, Driving While Suspended – Misdemeanor, and Felon in Possession of a Firearm. The property crimes detective continued following up, and on February 13th, detectives returned to the property with an additional search warrant. During the service of this warrant, detectives located 9 stolen firearms and ammunition that had been stolen in the burglary. The last suspect, Guy Gilbert Devault, 61, of Noti, is still outstanding, as well as several firearms. Detectives determined Devault was living on a property in the 23000 block of Green Creek Road, and authored a search warrant. Devault was not located during the service of the warrant. Detectives are continuing to investigate the case, but have been unable to locate him or the remaining firearms. Devault (pictured) is described as a white male, 5’10” tall, 180 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Devault are asked to contact the Lane County Sheriff’s Dispatch at 541-682-4150 option 1.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post
