Lane County, OR – Deputies with the Lane County Sheriff’s Office arrested multiple drivers for DUII and related offenses over a five-day stretch, responding to several incidents across the county from Creswell to Cottage Grove.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the arrests occurred between November 10 and 14 as deputies handled calls involving disorderly conduct, traffic stops, and crashes. The agency noted it does not have a dedicated DUII enforcement team due to funding limitations, but deputies remain committed to roadway safety.
The first incident took place shortly after midnight on November 10 in Creswell, where deputies arrested a Vancouver, Washington man for DUII and multiple related charges after a disturbance at a gas station. The following evening, another driver in Veneta was arrested for DUII and reckless endangerment after deputies observed erratic driving on Highway 126.
Early on November 12, a Cottage Grove man was arrested after deputies observed signs of intoxication while investigating a potential burglary. Two more arrests followed in separate crash responses — one on River Road in Eugene involving multiple vehicles, and another near Milepost 43 on Siuslaw River Road, where a Drain man was taken into custody.
The Sheriff’s Office urged drivers to plan safe rides home, designate sober drivers, and always wear seat belts as the holiday season approaches.
