LCPD K9 ASSISTS OREGON STATE POLICE WITH CAPTURE OF FELONY SUSPECT (Photo)
- 11/12/25
On Wednesday, November 12th, 2025, the Lincoln City Police Department received a request from the Oregon State Police at the Cape Lookout Ranger Station for tracking a fleeing felony suspect. A Lincoln City Police K9 handler, along with K9 Nix, responded to the area. They were familiar with the area due to a response the previous day to the same park. K9 Nix successfully tracked the suspect, 34-year-old Alexander Eaton, of Salem Oregon hiding in the nearby forest. Once cornered, Eaton surrendered to Law Enforcement. Eaton was transported to the Tillamook County Jail and lodged on felony charges. That investigation continues.
We would like to express our thanks to the Citizens of Lincoln City for their ongoing support of our K9 Program. We have experienced many peaceful surrenders based on the presence of our K9 partners and are pleased to support our neighboring Agencies with their hard work.
