2/3/25 - Barricaded Goshen man arrested after negotiation, K9 deployment On February 3rd at 10 a.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence in the 33900 block of W. Peebles Road, south of Goshen, to serve a restraining order to Jason Speed Mclaughlin, 53, of Goshen. The court order required Mclaughlin to leave the premises. Deputies contacted Mclaughlin in a house on the property. He refused to exit and armed himself with a knife. A sergeant on the Crisis Negotiation Team responded to assist. The sergeant spoke with Mclaughlin through an open window in an attempt to deescalate him. However, after about 90 minutes of negotiation, Mclaughlin threw a large piece of broken glass at the sergeant’s face. A deputy responded with a drone, and a Eugene Police sergeant responded with K9 Ayk. Additional attempts to gain cooperation from Mclaughlin were unsuccessful. K9 Ayk was deployed into the house. Mclaughlin continued to resist the K9 and deputies but was taken into custody. He was transported to an area hospital for evaluation and then lodged at the Lane County Jail on the following charges: - Violation of a Restraining Order - Criminal Trespass in the 2nd Degree - Menacing - Attempted Assault on a Public Safety Officer - Unlawful Use of a Weapon - Interfering with a Police Animal - Resisting Arrest Deputies learned Mclaughlin had recently harassed a resident at the location and injured a puppy by cutting one of its ears nearly off. After additional investigation, Mclaughlin was also charged with: - Harassment - Animal Abuse in the 2nd Degree Thanks to the Eugene Police Department and Lane County Parole & Probation for their assistance on this incident.

CONSTRUCTION BEGINS NEXT WEEK ON CHANDLER BRIDGE Drivers can expect traffic delays on Oregon 241 (Coos River Highway) through the end of summer as a project to paint and repair the Chandler Bridge begins next week. The bridge, located about three miles east of downtown Coos Bay, was built in 1952 and contains a lift span to allow maritime traffic to pass along the Coos River. The paint on the bridge is peeling and much of its surface is covered in rust. This project will paint the steel truss section of the bridge, replace the lift-span tower ladders and access platforms, and upgrade the steel guardrail at each end of the bridge. Starting Monday, Feb. 9, contractors plan to set up the work zone, mobilize equipment and install construction signs. For the next few weeks, drivers should watch for intermittent daytime lane closures with flaggers and brief delays. Through most of the spring and summer, the bridge will be limited to a single lane of traffic 24/7. A temporary signal will provide traffic control. Construction will also require two weekend closures of the bridge, probably in early summer. During the closures, traffic from the Allegany area will detour along East Bay Road to U.S. 101 north of McCullough Bridge. ODOT will provide public notification before any road closures. All work is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 18. Prime contractor Abhe & Svoboda, Inc., based in Jordan, Minn., was awarded the project after a successful bid of $7,288,400. For more information, visit the project website or contact ODOT Public Information Officer Dan Latham at 541-817-5200 or Dan.Latham@odot.oregon.gov. Featured News by City of Coos Bay
