11/17/25 - Deputies arrest multiple impaired drivers, respond to crashes over the week    
  
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!     
  
Deputies arrested several drivers for DUII over the week. Each of these cases could have ended tragically, as our deputies often see out on our roads.     
  
Please drive safe this holiday season!   
  
On November 10th at about a half-hour past midnight, Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a disorderly subject at a gas station in Creswell. When the first deputy arrived, the male, Andrew Randall Lukkasson-Huss, 31, of Vancouver, Washington, was preventing drivers from exiting a drive through at a nearby restaurant. Lukkasson fought attempts by the deputy to arrest him. One of the drivers helped the deputy gain control of Lukkasson until more deputies and Oregon State Troopers arrived. After additional investigation, deputies determined Lukkasson had driven to the location while intoxicated. He was arrested for DUII, Disorderly Conduct in the 2nd Degree, Criminal Trespass in the 2nd Degree, and Resisting Arrest.
