10/20/25 - Deputies arrest multiple impaired and reckless drivers 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!     
  
Over the weekend, deputies arrested several drivers for DUII. Each of these cases could have ended tragically, as our deputies often see out on our roads.     
  
Please drive safe this fall!    
  
On October 13th, deputies responded to a report of a vehicle in the ditch off Marcola Road near Sunderman Road, east of Springfield. The caller reported the driver was attempting to move the vehicle, but was just driving further into the brush. Deputies contacted the driver, Sherine Renee Forrest, 59, of Springfield, and observed signs of impairment. After additional investigation, Forrest was arrested for DUII.    
  
On October 14th at about 11 p.m., a sergeant observed a vehicle commit multiple traffic violations in the area of Franklin Boulevard and Brooklyn Avenue, Glenwood. The sergeant initiated a traffic stop and contacted the driver, Jeremiah Michael McDonnell, 38, of Springfield. The sergeant observed signs of impairment, and after additional investigation, McDonnell was arrested for DUII.    
  
On October 15th just before midnight, a deputy patrolling Jasper observed a sedan driving 55 miles per hour in the 35 mile-per-hour zone of Jasper Road. The deputy initiated a traffic stop and contacted the driver, Heidi Cathleen Keller, 59, of Fall Creek. The deputy observed signs Keller was impaired, and after additional investigation she was arrested for DUII.    
  
On October 18th at about 11 p.m., a sergeant observed a vehicle run a red light at W. 7th Avenue and Olive Street, Eugene. The deputy initiated a traffic stop and contacted the driver, Imelda Lizett Angulo Ramirez, 28, of Eugene. The sergeant observed signs Ramirez was impaired. After additional investigation, she was arrested for DUII.    
  
On October 20th at about 2 a.m., deputies responded to a report of an SUV that had crashed through multiple mailboxes in the 38600 block of Dexter Road, Dexter. Witnesses reported the driver was intoxicated, and took the vehicle keys from the driver so he could not leave the scene. Deputies contacted the driver, Felicido Alonso Rodriguez, 37, of Dexter, and observed signs of impairment. After additional investigation, Rodriguez was arrested for DUII, Reckless Driving, and Criminal Mischief in the 2nd Degree. Featured News by Lane County Sheriff
