News Release

2/19/26 - LCSO Case 26-0875 - Lane County Sheriff’s K9s Locate DUI Driver After Crash With Injury (Photo) - 02/20/26

 
On February 19th just before midnight, Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the area of S. Willamette Street and Fox Hollow Road for a possible crash. They located a heavily damaged sedan that had destroyed a guardrail, but was unoccupied. A witness reported they saw two people walking north of the crash.
 
A sergeant responded with K9 Tito, who immediately began tracking north toward Spencer Butte. Deputies spotted two people north of K9 Tito on S. Willamette Street. When contacted, a male, later identified as Kyle Malone Edwin Mcilvain, 28, of Eugene, jumped over a resident’s fence and ran. The other person cooperated with deputies and was determined to be the passenger. They had minor injuries consistent with being in a crash and were treated on scene by Eugene Springfield Fire.
 
By this time, a deputy was in the area with K9 Ripp. Deputies, Eugene Police officers and Oregon State Troopers set a perimeter in the area while they got to work. K9 Ripp tracked over several fences before finally showing interest in a resident’s back yard. Deputies found Mcilvain hiding in the yard and detained him.
 
After additional investigation, Mcilvain was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail on the following charges:
- DUII
- Assault in the 3rd Degree
- Reckless Driving
- Reckless Endangering
- Criminal Mischief in the 2nd Degree
- Fail to Perform Duties of a Driver - Property Damage
- Two counts of Trespass in the 2nd Degree
 
Thanks to the Eugene Police Department, Oregon State Police, Eugene Springfield Fire, and area residents for their assistance during this incident.
