5:15 p.m. – A hit and run accident occurred at the 76 station during which a vehicle backed into another vehicle and left. The vehicle that left was a blue and grey 1988 Chevrolet truck.

According to the City of Springfield, in 2012, Springfield has a violent crime rate of 17.3 incidents per 10,000 residents, which is about half of the national average of 33.8 per 10,000 residents and significantly lower than Eugene, which has 27.2 per 10,000 residents. Property crime is up slightly, with 508 incidents per 10,000 residents, which is comparable to Eugene (506 per 10,000 residents), and higher than the national average of 409. This rate may be attributed to the opening of the Springfield Municipal Jail in 2010, as it has become more productive to report such crimes. This information is from the 2012 FBI Crime Report.

Lucero was transported to Coquille Valley Hospital after the incident and died at about 10:30 a.m., about 45 minutes after a 9-1-1 call was placed.

Robson was known to have ties to Lane County, and was driving a white Chevrolet panel van, which was located at the parking lot of a business in Glenwood.

At 6:09 p.m., Springfield Police fielded a phone call from a business in the area of 14th and Main Streets concerning a male subject making statements concerning the murder of his brother. Officers quickly responded and determined the subject to be Robson, and took him into custody.

Robson was taken to Springfield Justice Center, and was taken into custody by investigators from Myrtle Point Police Department and Coos County Sheriff’s Office.

Oregon State Police (OSP) are seeking help from the public in identifying a motorcyclist suspected of eluding capture on I-5 on Friday, Nov. 15, after leaving a gas station in Springfield.

At about 8:45 p.m. Nov. 15, an OSP trooper stationed in the center median of I-5 just north of the Randy Papé Beltline interchange observed a motorcycle merging onto the freeway at a high rate of speed, traveling northbound. The trooper pulled behind the motorcycle in the left lane and saw that there was no license plate, or that it may have been folded upward.

After traffic cleared around Exit 199 (Coburg), the motorcycle accelerated when the trooper activated the overhead lights and began to call out a traffic stop. The motorcyclist continued to speed up, looking over his right shoulder as the trooper was trying to maintain sight of the motorcycle.

The trooper stopped the pursuit near Exit 228 (Hwy. 34/Corvallis) after losing sight of the motorcyclist. A few minutes later, Linn County Sheriff’s Office deputies observed the motorcyclist near Albany and were joined by another OSP trooper in pursuing the motorcyclist. They terminated the pursuit when the motorcyclist entered Marion County.

After the pursuits, the first trooper stopped by the ARCO station on Gateway St. in Springfield and spoke to attendants, who confirmed an individual fitting the description provided by the trooper had purchased gas. The attendants also confirmed seeing the individual with the motorcycle, also matching the provided description.

The motorcyclist is described as a white male in his late-20s to early-30s, dark hair and beard, wearing a camouflage jacket, dark colored pants and shoes, a dark colored back pack, and black full helmet with face shield. The motorcycle is a blue and silver colored unknown make or model racing style.

Anyone with information identifying the operator and motorcycle is asked to call Trooper Hank Duren at (541) 726-2536 ext. 403 or OSP Northern Command Center dispatch at 800-452-7888.

The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) General Manager, Matt Stouder, accepted an Innovation in Sustainability award from the Portland Business Journal earlier in November, on behalf of the MWMC.

The MWMC received an award in the “Natural Environment” category for the sustainable use of biosolids as a soil amendment for poplar trees at Biocycle Farm. The MWMC recently completed the first harvest of poplar trees at the Biocycle Farm.

MWMC General Manager Matt Stouder said it was an honor to receive the award. “It was a surprise to me that the MWMC had been nominated for the award, so to be selected as a recipient out of the many nominees throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington, is truly an honor” said MWMC General Manager Matt Stouder.

Background:

The Biocycle Farm is located on about 600 acres of agricultural land and includes nearly 400 acres of poplar trees, planted in three phases and managed as an agricultural crop. Biosolids, the solid by-product of the wastewater treatment process, are applied to Biocycle Farm as a soil amendment. To meet the requirements of an agricultural crop, the trees must be harvest every 12 years.

The MWMC is an intergovernmental partnership among Lane County and the Cities of Springfield and Eugene. The MWMC is responsible for providing wastewater management services to the Eugene/Springfield area.

This information was provided by a press release from the City of Springfield.

On November 13 at 1:15 p.m. – It took less than 30 seconds for the EPD bike team to observe/arrest some subjects and (three) hours for an Armed/Career Criminal released from being in prison for two years to commit a crime in Eugene. The Downtown team focused their attention on the park blocks, with the entire bike team conducting surveillance on the West Park Blocks. They spotted Daniel Nathan Matlock, age 35, and Shane Cory Gaswint, age 39, exchange a morphine pill, then look around for a place to sell marijuana. They ended up at the West Park Blocks, where they met with three other males, Anthony Paul Beenken, age 29, Mitchell William Reed, age 33, and Robert Joseph Edens, age 30. Gaswint and Matlock walked up to them and asked them if anyone wanted to buy marijuana. The deal went on and bike team rolled in to make the arrests and citations in lieu of custody. Gaswint and Matlock walked away but Edens stated they were headed to Greyhound. The bike officers located Matlock and Gaswint south of Greyhound and detained them both. Gaswint is from Washington State. Matlock was released from prison about three hours before getting on a Greyhound bus on his way to Gold Beach, Oregon. Since Matlock had a Greyhound Bus ticket to leave at 1630 hours, he was CLC’d. His Parole and Probation Officer was contacted.

Charges included:
GASWINT, Shane Cory. Delivery of a Controlled Substance within 1,000 feet of a School, Park Restriction Issued.

MATLOCK, Daniel Nathan. Unlawful Delivery of a Controlled Substance Schedule 2 – Morphine.

Tuesday, November 19

At 10:31 a.m., two officers were dispatched to 10th Avenue and Olive Street regarding Grant Kingsnorth Brannaman, age 18, who was menacing an 18-year-old male with a knife. Brannaman walked up to the victim, unprovoked, and slashed at his side, cutting the draw string of his backpack, and making contact with him. The victim did not sustain any injury. Brannaman was charged with Assault II, Menacing with a knife, and Criminal Mischief III.

Thursday, November 21
An officer contacted Joshua Damon Abdon, age 31, in the intersection of 3rd and Lawrence. He appeared to be searching for something. An officer stopped to check on him. Abdon made strange comments to the officer and began fiddling with his hands. The officer used his flashlight to illuminate Abdon’s hands, and observed a swiss-type pocket knife in his hand, with the cork screw deployed. The officer called for emergency cover. Two officers were already on their way to cover him when the request came out, and they activated their lights and sirens. Abdon took off running. The officer pursued him on foot as the other two arrived in their patrol cars. An officer in a patrol car was able to block his path at 3rd. Abdon was still holding the knife in his hand. An officer was able to get him on the ground from the back. A struggle followed with Abdon actively resisting their efforts, and officers had to resort to pepper spray. He continued to fight while in handcuffs and at the Jail. Two officers received minor injuries. Abdon was charged with Menancing, Interfering, Resisting Arrest, and Disorderly Conduct.

Fire Breaks Out At Student Apartment Complex Following Ducks Game

In the final moment’s of Oregon’s late-minute rally to Arizona on the road, there was a fire of a different kind breaking out near the University of Oregon campus. Two blocks west of the University of Oregon campus, near the intersection of 14th and Hilyard, a fire broke out inside of the Campus Twins apartment building which mostly serves the UO student population at approximately 4 p.m.

The cause of the fire is still yet to be determined.

Fire crews used ladders to get into the windows on the north, west, and south sides of the building as well as the roof to contain the fire before it spread to nearby complexes. The center point of the fire was located in the northwest portion of the building.

The Oregon Ducks football team shortly learned of the fire following the game with player Jared Ebert tweeting “Hope nobody was hurt in that campus fire!!”

As of right now there are no confirmed casualties or severe injuries. We will update you as information comes into Lane Today.

Wildcats Extinguish No. 5 Ducks’ BCS Streak in 42-16 Win

The desert can be a god-forsaken, unforgiving place. In the blink of an eye, you can find yourself in a hopeless situation, wondering where it all went wrong and how you’re possibly going to pick yourself up and get out alive. Oregon found themselves in a hopeless situation on Saturday against the Arizona Wildcats in Tucson, falling 42-16, unofficially ending the Ducks 5-year run of BCS bowl berths.

Arizona running back Ka’Deem Carey led the Wildcats offensive assault, running the ball 48 times for 206 yards and four touchdowns. Wildcats’ quarterback B.J. Denker also had a stellar performance, completing 19 of 22 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns.

Troy Hill returned the game’s opening kickoff 40 yards all the way down to Arizona’s 45-yard line before the unthinkable happened on Oregon’s first play of the game.

Marcus Mariota threw an interception.

To clarify, it was more of a tip drill, eventually ending up in the hands of Scooby Wright who returned it 13 yards to Oregon’s 45-yard line.

Arizona would convert twice on third down during the drive, capping it off with a six-yard touchdown run from Carey as the Wildcats jumped out to the early 7-0 lead.

After a three-and-out by the Ducks on their next drive, the Wildcats converted two more third downs as Nate Phillips hauled in a nine-yard touchdown pass to extend Arizona’s lead to 14-0. The touchdown pass was part of a drive that went 10 plays for 59 yards. On Arizona’s first two drives, the Wildcats converted all four of their third down plays.

On Oregon’s next drive, the Ducks managed to drive all the way down to Arizona’s six-yard line, but a holding penalty forced Helfrich to have to settle for a field goal for Oregon’s first points of the day.

Oregon running back Byron Marshall also had an early exit at this point after just three carries and would not return for the rest of the game.

Arizona continued to manhandle Oregon’s defense with a 16-play, 83-yard touchdown drive to lead 21-3. By the end of the scoring drive, Arizona was a perfect 7-for-7 on third downs, and when you can’t stop a team on third down, you’re not going to like the result at the end of the day.

Oregon would score their first touchdown on the next drive, set up by a 17-yard reception by Josh Huff and a 15-yard rush by Mariota on consecutive drives. The Ducks would fail to convert on the two-point conversion attempt.

The Ducks’ defense made their first stop of the day on the next drive, forcing the Wildcats to punt after just four plays. However, Oregon was unable to capitalize as a fumble by Tyner gave Arizona the Wildcat’s the ball right back at midfield.

With their backs pinned up against their own goal line, Mariota began to lead his offense down the field in the final moments of the first half, getting first down after first down, methodically driving and using the sidelines to their advantage to control the clock. Then, on what was perhaps one of the most important plays of the day, Mariota fumbled on 4th and 2, giving the Wildcats the ball back with a minute to play. Two consecutive passes for 17 yards and 21 yards respectively set up a one-yard touchdown run by Carey to give Arizona a 28-9 lead going into the half.

An Arizona touchdown to start the second half would have essentially ended the game right there. Oregon’s defense stepped up on the opening drive in the 3rd quarter, forcing the Wildcats to punt the ball away after a three-and-out.

Oregon installed another impressive drive, going 76 yards all the way down to the six-yard line before stalling yet again. On 4th and 2, Mariota floated a pass intended for Keanon Lowe that sailed out of the back of the end zone, giving the Wildcats the ball back again as another trip to the red zone ended in no points for the Ducks.

In another defining moment, the Ducks were given another chance to cut into the Arizona lead halfway through the third quarter with the score still at 28-9. On 2nd and 10, De’Anthony Thomas was taken down in the backfield for a loss of 12 yards after hitting traffic on a run and attempting to change directions.

Arizona would essentially put the nail in the coffin on the ensuing drive. After a holding penalty on 3rd and 5, Denker and Carrey ran for 10-plus yard gains on consecutive plays. Carey would finish the drive off with a nine-yard touchdown run to give Arizona a commanding 35-9 lead heading into the final quarter.

Oregon would get one final glimmer of hope with an 84-yard scoring drive that took less than three minutes off the game clock, capped off with a two-yard touchdown catch by Josh Huff, brining the Ducks within three scores. Still a large deficit, but there were still over 14 minutes left in the game.

Any remaining light on Oregon’s season was extinguished on Arizona’s next drive, starting with a 35-yard run by Denker into Oregon territory. The Wildcats would finish the drive with 10 straight runs by Denker and Carey to extend Arizona’s lead to 42-16.

As if the blowout score wasn’t bad enough for Oregon, the final drive of the day for the Ducks’ offense was capped off with Mariota’s second interception of the day as Shaquille Robinson picked off the once Heisman front-runner as the icing on the cake. What happened next though brought back horrific memories of Tucson for Ducks fans.

Mariota, who led with his head to make the hit, tackled Robinson out of bounds, causing what initially looked like a potential concussion. The once mighty Mariota, who had yet to throw an interception comining into the 11th game of the season for Oregon, could not even get off the field without the help of his teammates, stumbling across the field looking woozy. It was a defining image brining fans back to 2007, when Dennis Dixon, also a Heisman favorite during the season, crumpled to the ground while running an option play during a 34-24 loss to the Wildcats at Arizona Stadium. The upset defeat also ended Oregon’s BCS hopes, and the Ducks would eventually have to settle with a Sun Bowl victory over South Florida.

Mariota would finish the day completing 27 of 41 passes for 308 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

The clock hit zero, and for the first time since the 2007 season, Oregon’s hope at a BCS berth came crashing down in the season’s final weeks. Pending the Ducks don’t lose complete focus and rebound with a sixth straight Civil War victory over the Beavers next week, the Alamo Bowl is looking like the most probable destination for the Ducks in December.

Earlier this week, Josh Huff was quoted saying, “I don’t want to play in a Rose Bowl unless I’m playing for a national championship.”

Well, Mr. Huff, ask and ye shall receive.

EmX Lane, K-9 Assist Police in Arrest of Two Home Invasion Robbery Suspects

$

Two Portland men were arrested after allegedly threatening a man at gunpoint inside his residence during a home invasion robbery in the 700 block of E. 17th Ave. late Saturday night.

Police say the two suspects left the residence with cell phones, cash and other items.

Eugene Police Department (EPD) officers were able to track the suspects due to the victim having an application on his cell phone, and a sergeant spotted the Dodge Stratus the suspects were driving at 13th and Agate. The Dodge turned west on 13th through the closed off section of the roadway on campus, and the sergeant initiated a traffic stop at 15th and Onyx.

The Dodge did not stop, and attempted to turn from Orchard St. onto Franklin Blvd., but the driver instead straddled the vehicle on the EmX bus lane. Both men got out of the vehicle and ran on foot towards Garden Ave.

Police set up a perimeter and an EPD K-9 unit located and arrested the passenger, Conor Thurston Williams, 19, of Portland hiding in a slough behind a location in the 1900 block of Garden Ave. The driver, Demetrius Earl Hillman, 20, 0f Portland, was located in some dense shrubbery next to another location in the 1900 block of Garden Ave.

Hillman, however, fought with the K-9 and tried to run, but was taken back into custody. He was taken to a local hospital for evaluation, and was admitted after doctors found other concerns. It is unclear at this time if his admission relates to resisting arrest or to a pre-existing concern.

Williams was charged with robbery-1, interfering with police, menacing and unlawful use of a weapon. He is lodged in the Lane County Jail.

Hillman’s charges are pending at this time, and remains in the hospital.
