Description

On March 19th just before midnight, a Lane County Sheriff’s deputy spotted a black 1994 Dodge Ram pickup driving recklessly in the area of W. 11th Avenue and Beltline Highway. The vehicle matched the description of a recently stolen vehicle out of Eugene.  The deputy activated his vehicle’s lights and sirens to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver only increased their reckless driving behavior, turned off their headlights, and accelerated to over 100 miles per hour. Due to other traffic in the area, the deputy disengaged and instead began coordinating with other deputies on the vehicle’s direction of travel.  Another deputy located the vehicle several miles away on Highway 126 West, still driving recklessly. With no other traffic in the area and no change in the driver’s behavior after not being pursued, the deputy initiated a pursuit.  The pickup continued driving recklessly until crashing and rolling over near milepost 36. The driver, Jaedin Renae Duwell, 20, of Eugene, and a passenger were detained. Deputies also located methamphetamine during a search of the vehicle.  After further investigation, the passenger was released and Duwell was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail for:  - Attempt to Elude Police Officer by Vehicle; - Possession of a Stolen Vehicle; - Reckless Driving; - Reckless Endangering; - Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine (Felony); - Unlawful Possession of Fentanyl; - Coos County Circuit Court warrant for Interfering with a Peace Officer.
