Burglary Investigation Leads to Vehicle Pursuit and Arrest  
  
On December 11, 2025, at approximately 9:00 AM, Deputies with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a report of a burglary that occurred in Waldport. Surveillance video showed a red Dodge Ram pull up to the business, the male driver then got out of the truck and spray painted over two of the three working cameras and then proceed to force entry into the business. The male stole an electronic bike and an undisclosed amount of cash before leaving. Deputies with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office worked with Coos Bay Sheriff’s Office, Coos Bay Police, and North Bend Police and learned the registered owner of the truck sold the vehicle earlier that morning in the Coos Bay area.   
  
At approximately 11:45 AM, Officers with Newport Police Department (NPD) located the red Dodge truck in the Fred Meyer Parking lot in Newport. After attempting to contact the driver of the truck, the driver fled the scene in the vehicle. Newport Police pursued the vehicle North on Highway 101. NPD was assisted by the Oregon State Police, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, and Lincoln City Police in deploying stop sticks on the vehicle. The truck continued North on Highway 101 until it crashed near SE 51st and Highway 101. The suspect then attempted to run on foot before quickly being subdued by onlookers at the crash site and taken into custody by officers without further incident. The suspect was identified as 33-year-old Tyler Mullen. Mullen was lodged at Lincoln County Jail on charges of Parole Warrant, Attempt to Elude (Vehicle), Attempt to Elude (Foot), Reckless Driving, two counts of Reckless Endangering, two counts of Criminal Mischief II, two counts of Failure to Perform the Duties of a Driver, Burglary II, Theft I, and Criminal Mischief II.   
  
The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank all its partnering agencies in this apprehension. Featured News by Lincoln County Sheriff

🚔 Coos County Sheriff’s Office – Quick Traffic Safety Tip 🚔  
  
It’s that time of year again: deer are everywhere, especially at dawn and dusk on Hwy 101, 42, and all our rural roads.  
  
If you see one deer, slow down and expect more — they rarely travel alone.  
  
🦌 Top deer-crash tips from your deputies:  
 • Slow down from dusk to dawn (peak deer hours)  
 • Use high beams when possible — their eyes reflect early  
 • Don’t swerve — brake firmly and stay in your lane (hitting the deer is usually safer than hitting a tree or oncoming traffic)  
 • Watch for the “deer crossing” signs — they’re not just decorations   
  
Let’s keep our windshields (and our families) intact this season.  
  
Report injured deer or road hazards: Non-emergency (541) 269-8911�  
Emergency: 9-1-1  
  
Drive alert, arrive alive.

Please follow these tips to stay safe when you explore the outdoors in our county:   
⛰️ Always tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return.

🏕️ Be prepared to stay out overnight - even if you don't plan to get out of your car.   
🗺️ Bring maps for offline navigation - cell service can be spotty!   
🌊 If you go on the water, ALWAYS wear a life jacket!   
  
If you become lost, STAY PUT! Find a way to signal or make your location visible. Always carry a whistle and flashlight in the outdoors – it just might save your life.
