Details:

On January 26, 2026, the Eagle Point Police Department received multiple reports of vandalism involving damage to both private and public property in the downtown area. Graffiti was found on the rear of several businesses, fences, sidewalks, public walkways, and the historic covered bridge. The graffiti was determined to reference a criminal street gang based in South Central Los Angeles.

 

During the investigation, officers reviewed video evidence and worked closely with officials from Eagle Point High School, which led to the development of several persons of interest believed to be responsible for the vandalism. While the investigation was ongoing, Eagle Point Public Works employees began removing graffiti from the local splash park, Centennial Plaza, and surrounding sidewalks and benches. Several business owners and residents also assisted by cleaning and repairing affected areas.

 

On February 2, 2026, additional vandalism was discovered. Some previously affected locations were re-tagged, and new businesses were also victimized. Officers took additional reports and continued processing evidence to further confirm suspect involvement.

 

As the investigation progressed, officers were able to positively identify three suspects through video evidence, social media activity, assistance from Eagle Point High School staff, and tips from community members. Social media posts associated with the suspects depicted them displaying firearms and using gang-related hand signs.

 

Due to the apparent connection to a criminal street gang, the Eagle Point Police Officer assigned to the Medford Area Gang and Drug Enforcement (MADGE) Team was contacted to assist with the investigation and subsequent arrests. MADGE detectives and support staff provided assistance with surveillance and gathering additional intelligence related to the suspects.

 

Once sufficient evidence was established linking the suspects to the crimes, a search warrant was requested and approved. On February 4, 2026, detectives from MADGE, along with officers from the Eagle Point Police Department, served the warrant. As officers arrived in the area, the three suspects were observed walking near the covered bridge on Main Street.

 

Detectives attempted to take the suspects into custody. Sanders and Buscher complied with officers’ commands, while Tagnoli attempted to flee on foot. Tagnoli was quickly apprehended and arrested by multiple detectives on scene.

 

Earlier in the investigation, Tagnoli had been contacted by an Eagle Point Police officer prior to being confirmed as a suspect and provided a false name at that time. Following his arrest, officers determined his true identity and learned he had an outstanding warrant for an original charge of possession of a stolen vehicle. Tagnoli was lodged on that warrant in addition to the current charges.

 

Sanders and Buscher were also lodged at the Jackson County Jail. The charges in this case include four felony counts and twelve misdemeanor counts. Due to restrictions imposed by Oregon Senate Bill 48 (SB48), Sanders and Buscher will not remain lodged and will be released with future court appearance dates, as the offenses do not meet the statutory criteria for continued custody.

 

All charges will be forwarded to the Jackson County District Attorney’s Office for review and filing. This investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges are anticipated.
