12/1/25 - LCSO Case 25-5822 - Drain man arrested for assault in Lane County On December 1st at about 3:30 a.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies and Springfield Police officers responded to an injured female at a business on 42nd Street, Springfield. The female was severely injured and was transported to an area hospital. Deputies learned the victim had been beaten by Anthony Leon Vancil, 39, of Drain. The incident began at Hayden Bridge Boat Landing and continued in a vehicle as Vancil drove around the area. The victim was eventually able to escape the vehicle and seek refuge inside the business. The victim also had a restraining order against Vancil. Deputies and other area law enforcement agencies looked for Vancil’s vehicle throughout the morning and day. They were unable to locate it and did not know where he may have gone. That evening, Vancil arrived at the Lane County Parole & Probation Office in Eugene in his vehicle. He was detained and deputies responded to contact Vancil. After additional investigation, Vancil was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail for: - Assault in the 2nd Degree - Unlawful Use of a Weapon - Kidnapping in the 2nd Degree - Coercion - Violation of a Restraining Order Vancil had also failed to comply with a sentence to appear on an Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine conviction, so his sentence began on that charge when he was booked into the jail.
