Eagle Crest, Ore. – On February 20, 2026, at 8:12 a.m., a deputy with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office attempted to stop a passenger vehicle in the Sisters area after observing the driver operating aggressively, including brake-checking the deputy and driving over a roundabout. The driver failed to yield and continued through Sisters. Out of caution, the deputy did not pursue. The vehicle was last seen traveling west on Highway 20 past Black Butte.
The same vehicle was then observed returning to Sisters at 8:53 a.m. Deputies, assisted by Oregon State Police and the Black Butte Police Department, attempted another traffic stop. The driver fled east on Highway 20, prompting a pursuit. Deputies used a Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT), but the suspect regained control and sped away at a high rate of speed. The pursuit was terminated for public safety as the vehicle headed toward Tumalo and Bend.
At 11:07 a.m., a concerned citizen in the Eagle Crest area reported a vehicle following them, making them feel uncomfortable. Deputies responded and identified the vehicle as the same one from earlier. Multiple spike strips were successfully deployed, and a second PIT maneuver brought the vehicle to a stop on Eagle Crest Boulevard.
The driver, Doug R. Greaser, 54, of Eagle Crest, tried to walk away and resisted arrest but was taken into custody and transported to St. Charles-Bend for further evaluation. Greaser was arrested on the following charges:
- Felony Attempt to Elude (3 counts)
- Reckless Driving (3 counts)
- Multiple counts of Reckless Endangering
- Assault on a Police Officer
The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office thanks Oregon State Police, Black Butte Police Department, and the community for their assistance in safely resolving this incident.
