The Lane County Sheriff’s Office does not have adequate funding for a dedicated traffic team or a deputy assigned to DUI enforcement. Additional dedicated funding to the Sheriff’s Office Police Services Division would be used to staff full-time traffic safety enforcement deputies if ever obtained. Our deputies are committed to the safety of our community, and traffic safety enforcement is paramount in order to prevent the unnecessary loss of lives on our roadways.   

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office reminds everyone: 

Plan your safe ride home ahead of time  

If you drink or use drugs, do not drive for any reason  

If you know someone has been drinking or using drugs, don't let them drive  

If you host a party with alcohol, make sure all guests leave with a sober driver  

And please, always wear your seatbelt!  

Drive safe in 2026 – Please get a ride if you have been drinking or using drugs!! 

On 6/17/26 the Lane County Sheriff’s Office learned 88-year-old Marjorie Ann Gray was missing from Lorane Oregon.  Gray was last seen on 06/12/26, at her residence in the 27000 block of Lorane Orchard Road. Gray’s vehicle is also missing, described as a white Dodge Durango with Oregon license plates 684-CVQ.

The Lane County Sheriff wants to highlight the importance of our duty to protect our vulnerable adults from all forms of abuse. Sadly, statistics show that as many as 1 in 10 people, aged 60 or older, experience some type of abuse.  There are many types of abuse, physical, emotional or financial exploitation, but all too often these crimes go unreported. 

On June 2nd, 1995, a little after 9:00pm the body of then 33-year-old Joni Marie Grigsby was found deceased along the river outside Springfield. LCSO Detectives investigated her death, and it was ultimately ruled a homicide. Over time every lead ran cold. Investigative tools at the time were not what they are today.

Since that time LCSO Cold Case Detectives have continued to work on the case. In 2023, DNA samples obtained from the crime scene were sent to an outside laboratory for testing. The results of the testing narrowed the field of suspects to small handful, which detectives continued to work through.  

Detectives learned that one of the suspects, Roy C. Gomes, was shot and killed by Sacramento Police on March 5th, 2004, during a violent confrontation.  Gomes was on parole at the time of the shooting.  During Gomes’ autopsy a sample of his DNA was taken. LCSO Cold Case Detectives obtained a copy of Gomes’ DNA sample and submitted it for comparison against the samples obtained from the crime scene.   

Lab analysis confirmed Gomes’ DNA matched what was found at the scene of Grigsby’s murder. Joni Grigsby’s family have been notified of the updates and results of this investigation.  

The Lane County Sheriff’s Cold Case Team is made up of volunteers, who donate their time to help solve unclosed cases. The team is made up of retried officers and detectives who volunteer countless hours to help bring closure to families and the team is completely funded through donations.
