On August 12th at about 8:10 pm, LCSO was notified of a missing person from the 1700 block of Berwin Lane in Eugene. 88-year-old Jamail McKinney was last seen by family at his residence around 1:00 pm.

McKinney left for a bike ride and was expected to return around 6:00 pm, but he never arrived. McKinney was last seen wearing: a blue t-shirt, black shorts, black and silver shoes and a dark green helmet. McKinney’s bicycle is blue. He often rides on bike trails along the river, in the River Road area. He frequently takes the Owosso Bridge and rides towards the Valley River Center.

Family reports McKinney may have cognitive issues, and he has become lost before. Lane County Sheriff deputies and Search & Rescue personnel are still out searching. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office is asking area residents with cameras to please check and see if McKinney is seen on any video. Anyone with information about McKinney’s whereabouts is asked to call LCSO dispatch at 541-682-4150.

On July 29th 2026, The Lane County Sheriff's Office began an investigation into the possession of child sex abuse material (CSAM). During the investigation detectives identified the suspect as 52-year-old Jeremy Bo Adams.

On August 10th 2026, LCSO detectives served a search warrant near the 100 block of W.17th Avenue in Eugene and contacted Adams. Investigators arrested Adams and lodged him at the Lane County Jail for the below listed charges.

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Coburg Police Department, the Lane County District Attorney’s Office, and the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance with the investigation. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office deployed their electronic detection K9 Trinity, who is trained to help locate potential digital evidence.

This investigation has led detectives to believe there may be more victims of additional crimes committed by Adams, so an image of Adams is attached. If you have information regarding Adams or this case, please contact Lane County Sheriff’s Office detectives at 541-682-4150.

Lane County continues to make an impact and try to improve roadway safety through public education and enforcement. LCSO Deputies are continuing to utilize grant funding to show an increased presence on county roads. 

The reality is, high‑risk driving behaviors, especially speeding, are still increasing. Lane County has consistently ranked among the top three highest counties in Oregon for fatal crashes. According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, Lane County recorded 56 traffic deaths in 2022.  89% of these crashes involved impairment and or speed. Lane County recorded 41 deaths in 2023 and 49 deaths in 2024.

LCSO does not have a full-time dedicated traffic enforcement unit.  Most offenders get stopped simply because the deputy happened to be in the right place at the right time and was in between priority calls-for -service.  This only raises more concerns about how often these dangerous driving behaviors go undetected.

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office is asking for every driver’s assistance to help keep our roads safe. Please plan ahead.  Give yourself extra travel time. Practice patience.  Remember we all share the roadway with drivers of all ages and varying levels of experience. Together, we can reduce speeds and make Lane County’s roads safer for everyone.

On August 6th at about 5:50 am, deputies and fire personnel responded to what was reported as a subject stuck in a storm drain. The caller advised this was near the intersection of Lantana and Dahlia Avenues, in north Eugene.

Firefighters arrived on scene and found the man was already beyond aid.  LCSO deputies arrived and additional LCSO detectives responded to assist with the investigation.  The deceased has been identified as 55-year-old Bradley Dean Treloggen of Eugene.

Treloggen’s body was recovered and transported to the Lane County Morgue under the jurisdiction of the Lane County Medical Examiner’s Office.  The investigation is still ongoing, but so far there is no indication of a crime leading up to Treloggen’s death.

On July 22nd, LCSO Deputies were notified of a theft of a mobility chair from Armitage Park.  The chair was valued at over 10,00 dollars and it belonged to a juvenile victim.

The victim’s family took to social media and helped spread the word about the crime.  Deputies spent extra time patrolling and contacting individuals in the area but so far had been unable to locate it.

On August 5th, a community member contacted LCSO and reported finding the mobility chair.  Deputies responded, seized the medical equipment and drove it back to its owner.

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank everyone who helped in this case and ensured essential property was returned to a juvenile victim.

On August 4th at about 6:45 pm, Lane County Deputies responded to an assault in the 42700 block of McKenzie Highway near Walterville.  The caller reported being choked and struck in the face several times and lost consciousness.  The suspect was identified as 42-year-old Jesse Lee Rider of Walterville.

Rider left the location on foot before deputies arrived.  Deputies interviewed the victim and held a perimeter until a LCSO K9 could arrive and assist. Deputies learned that in addition to the crimes committed that day, Rider already had warrants out for his arrest.

K9 Tito led deputies directly to where Rider was located.  Rider was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail for the below listed charges:

Just prior to the call K9 Tito and his handler were performing a demonstration at a National Night Out event.  A video was posted to Facebook of Tito’s performance from the event.  The link to the video is included below.

At this time Friedman has been entered as missing.  Anyone with any information about his whereabouts is asked to call 911, or LCSO non-emergency at 541-682-4150.

On July 31st, a little after 11:00 am, deputies responded to a reported menacing in the 4200 block of Franklin Boulevard. Callers reported a male entered a convenience store and assaulted an employee, before exiting the business.

The suspect would later be identified as 40-year-old Douglas Alvin Haley of Springfield. Haley continued to threaten people in the area. Arriving deputies found Haley already had broken into a separate location and there were occupants inside. Haley broke out a glass window, climbed inside and then barricaded the door.

Deputies could see Haley was visibly agitated. One deputy was injured making entry.  Despite being injured, the deputy continued to engage Haley until he was detained.

This LCSO Deputy required a tourniquet application to stop a major bleed as well as other injuries as well. He was transported by ambulance to a local area hospital for treatment. Thankfully the deputy is recovering and in stable condition.

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would also like to thank the University of Oregon Police Department for their assistance in this case.  We are proud of all our deputies who work hard each day to keep our community safe.

Haley was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail for the below listed charges.

The female passenger did not survive.  She was identified as 19-year-old Adison Bernice Stading of Woodland Washington. The driver was transported to an area hospital by Life Flight in critical condition.

On July 16th at about 8:00pm Lane County Sheriff’s Deputies inside the Jail responded to an Assault. The suspect Jesse Owen Spencer, while out of his cell for dayroom activities attacked another Adult-in-Custody, seemingly without provocation.

This assault was witnessed by staff and deputies quickly intervened. Although the assault was swiftly interrupted, the victim suffered significant injuries. The victim ultimately had to be transported to a local area hospital for treatment.

Spencer was taken into custody for the new crimes and re-housed to more restrictive location inside the Lane County Jail. He was charged for the below listed crimes.

Despite all rescue efforts the man did not survive. The deceased was identified as 26-year-old Justin Daniel Brudvig of Oregon City. The investigation revealed Brudvig was paddleboarding in the river without a lifejacket.
