Benton County, Oregon – A 41-year-old Corvallis man was arrested Sunday on DUII and reckless endangering charges.
According to the Benton County Sheriff’s Office, deputies arrested Horacio Lopez Lillo, 41, on Feb. 8, 2026, for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants and Reckless Endangering.
A DUII charge in Oregon includes operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, authorities said. The reckless endangering charge alleges conduct that creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person.
Any arrest and complaint information is based on a legal accusation. As with all criminal cases, the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
The sheriff’s office did not release additional details about the circumstances of the arrest, including the location within Benton County or whether any injuries or property damage were reported.
Deputies regularly publish weekly DUII reports as part of enforcement and public awareness efforts aimed at reducing impaired driving.
The arrest may serve as a reminder for students and young drivers in Corvallis — home to Oregon State University — about the risks and legal consequences associated with impaired driving.
