🚨North Bend Man Arrested for Domestic Assault and Strangulation After Vehicle Altercation🚨 On December 10, 2025, at approximately 7:45 PM, Deputy Converse responded to a reported dispute at a residence on East Bay Road in North Bend. Upon arrival, he heard a male and female engaged in a verbal argument. Deputy Converse separated the individuals and began an investigation. The inquiry revealed that a physical altercation had occurred between the couple while driving home. The suspect, Jeromy Haren, 37, allegedly choked and struck the victim while the vehicle was stopped. A third passenger in the car intervened, physically restraining Haren to stop the assault and removing him from the vehicle. Deputy Converse arrested Haren on charges of Assault 4 - Domestic Violence and Strangulation - Domestic Violence. Haren was transported to Coos County Jail, where he was booked and lodged. Haren appeared in court on December 12, 2025, where an additional charge of Reckless Endangering was filed, and his bail was set at $25,000. He is scheduled for another court appearance on December 19, 2025. “Police action is not indicative of guilt. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.”

SCINT, As I wrote the last press release over Thanksgiving, I stated that we as a team would work holidays or not. Over the holiday, we worked on a warrant for a case that SCINT started investigating back in 2021. This warrant was granted by the Coos County Circuit Court during December 2025, which demanded the search of Richard Joyner’s property located within Curry County. SCINT and the Coos County Sheriff’s Office were assisted by the Oregon State Police SWAT team, Detectives, and federal agents. This warrant was safely executed by the Oregon State Police and lead to a 16-hour day for the investigators. A search of this property yielded over 13lbs of meth, 9 firearms, one of which was stolen, several other items found to be stolen on the property, and over $60,000.00 in drug proceeds were seized. SCINT will continue to investigate any dealer, whether it takes days, months, or years, to bring those plaguing the community to justice. Sincerely, a SCINT Detective.Photos from Coos County Sheriff's Office's post

🚔 Coos County Sheriff’s Office – Quick Traffic Safety Tip 🚔 It’s that time of year again: deer are everywhere, especially at dawn and dusk on Hwy 101, 42, and all our rural roads. If you see one deer, slow down and expect more — they rarely travel alone. 🦌 Top deer-crash tips from your deputies: • Slow down from dusk to dawn (peak deer hours) • Use high beams when possible — their eyes reflect early • Don’t swerve — brake firmly and stay in your lane (hitting the deer is usually safer than hitting a tree or oncoming traffic) • Watch for the “deer crossing” signs — they’re not just decorations Let’s keep our windshields (and our families) intact this season. Report injured deer or road hazards: Non-emergency (541) 269-8911� Emergency: 9-1-1 Drive alert, arrive alive. #CoosCountyOR #WatchForDeer #DriveSafeCoosCounty

The Systemic Criminalization of Mental Illness in Oregon Article by: Commissioner Drew Farmer I want to be clear as I go into this article, which will be critical, that my critiques are not of the line staff, not of the medical professionals, and no one between the ranks of CNA to Doctor. These folks strive every day to make do in a broken system. My critiques are of leadership, and some of those being across multiple administrations given the length of Oregon’s ongoing mental health crisis. The issues at hand belong to persons of higher decision making authority, to exactly which level down from the governor I do not know. But, without the acknowledgement of what’s broken we will struggle to repair it. I believe there is a component of policy within Oregon’s mental health system where the deferment of liabilities is overtaking humane policy. Running numbers on easily available public data, I am inclined to believe that the state has taken efforts systemically and over time to push the mentally ill into the criminal justice system due to it being cheaper to maintain and often a burden upon lower levels of government more so than upon the state. An article from OPB from 2025, “How Oregon’s laws on forcing mental health treatment could change this year”, reflects an average civil commitment bed cost of around $1,777.78 per day; by contrast, a DOC (Oregon Department of Corrections) fact sheet shows an AIC (Adult in Custody) cost of $173.88 per day. Running those numbers, a bed in prison versus in care saves the state around $1,603.90 per day per person. Of additional note, the cost to the state only applies under the criminal justice system if the individual commits a crime which yields a sentence exceeding one year. If the crime is sentenced at a year or less then the individual is lodged in county jail where the cost is fully borne by the local government. We can see that the state has a financial incentive to criminalize mental illness. We can also see where this backfires; as of the start of December, the Oregon State Hospital has paid roughly $1.4 million in contempt fines since June. This is due to a lack of capacity to process even those mentally ill who yet need to stand trial, placing the liability squarely back in the hands of the state. And that problem brings us to a key contention between the state and counties; the CFAA agreement. In this agreement, overflow from the state hospital will become the responsibility of counties. Despite the state’s insistence by officials that these fines cannot be passed onto counties due to a federal ruling, the other hand of the state is actively appealing that ruling so that it can pass fines along. Additionally, the new contract removes, “subject to availability of funds”. While the issue of the state criminalizing mental illness to avoid footing the bill for care is a long-standing one, we can see present leadership continuing efforts to do the same.

✍️Behind the Bars: Female Deputy Insights✍️ By Deputy Vierck, Eight years, two months, and twenty-five days. In a jail, everyone counts time. Adults in Custody mark the days and “wake-ups” until release. Deputies count the hours until the weekend or the years until retirement. I could recount every shift I worked at the Coos County Jail—the triumphs and the traumas—but no single page could hold them all. My first and best lesson came before I ever put on the uniform. My aunt, a long-time correctional officer in California, told me, “Your words and your time cost you nothing. They’re still people. It never hurts to listen or to offer a kind word.” I have carried that advice like a compass through every corridor and crisis of my career. It is the greatest gift I was ever given. Both deputies and those we supervise will admit that the job can breed an “us versus them” mindset; it’s practically baked into the design of the place. Yet treating every person with basic respect is the only way to keep our own humanity intact in an environment that can be hazardous, stressful, and, at times, deeply traumatic. We work among individuals society has labeled the worst of the worst. We read the charging instruments, hear the details of unimaginable crimes, and sometimes witness people at their lowest. Still, I have used my aunt’s advice to build genuine rapport across the bars. More than once, an Adult in Custody has stepped in to protect me—from physical attacks, verbal threats, even insults from their peers. We never count on that kind of loyalty, but when it happens, it is a quiet reminder that respect can travel in both directions. Being a woman in a male-dominated profession brings its own challenges. Society—and sometimes the people we supervise—assumes I am smaller, weaker, less capable. Those assumptions are not universally true or false; they simply miss the point. Women are indispensable in corrections. Some of us are exceptional firearms instructors or defensive-tactics trainers. Others excel at jail inspections, ensuring compliance with Oregon Jail Standards. Some are fierce fighters. I see myself as a strategist and a de-escalator—skills rooted in an upbringing where violence was absent, and words were the first line of defense. That background left me unprepared for the raw aggression I would eventually face, but it also gave me tools many of my male colleagues do not possess: the ability to calm an enraged man with the steady tone of an exasperated mother, or to search a female inmate with the dignity the law and basic decency require. People are always surprised when they learn where I work. “Wait—you work with men, too?” Yes. Murderers, rapists, people arrested for DUII—everyone who comes through the sally port. The shocked look on their faces used to bother me. Now it fills me with a strange pride. I don’t look like their mental image of a jail deputy, and I have learned to be proud of that mismatch. I have served as Watch Commander, running an entire shift of four to seven deputies when the sergeant is off. For the last three years, I have been a Field Training Officer, shaping new hires and praying they carry forward the same empathy my aunt gave me. When George Floyd was killed, I posted publicly about my disappointment in bad policing. Someone replied, “You only care because bad cops make you look bad.” That remark missed the mark by a mile. No one lasts long in this profession for ego or glory. I have missed holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries. I have been cursed at, spit on, and assaulted. Some mornings, it takes everything I have just to walk through the staff door. There have been days I nearly turned in my badge for something safer, softer, saner. Yet I stay—because I believe I am here for a reason. I mentor rookies. I talk people down from the edge of suicide. I have knelt in someone else’s blood, applying pressure and praying the ambulance hurries. The job is brutal on bodies, minds, and relationships. But it has also given me a second family unlike any other. You hear it said that it’s not where you work, it’s who you work with. In law enforcement, that cliché is gospel. I know deputies who will drive across the county at 3 a.m. to check on a struggling coworker. I know others who crochet blankets and stuffed animals for every baby born into our extended family. I know men and women who have run into danger to save a life—sometimes the life of the very person they arrested the week before. We are protectors. We are human beings capable of profound empathy. My greatest hope is that one day the public will look past the uniform, past the headlines, and see us clearly for who we are.

🚨SCINT press release🚨 As a member of SCINT, I would first like to thank the community for their continued support with our ongoing efforts to stop the drug and gun problem within our community. As I sit here writing this with family and friends over Thanksgiving, I am reminded of several families that I know to have been affected by the drug problem within our community. SCINT will continue to work day and night, holidays or not, in an attempt to stop the drug problem within Coos County. For the past year, SCINT has been investigating several controlled substance dealers within and outside the Coos County area. This investigation has led to the seizure of over twenty pounds of methamphetamine, over two pounds of fentanyl, various amounts of heroin, xylazine, pills, and over ten firearms have been seized from these dealers. These seizures have yielded about half a million dollars in cash and the street value of the controlled substances. SCINT has been assisted by local and federal authorities and is continuing to investigate this drug trafficking organization. SCINT would also like to mention that Matthew Medeiros has again been arrested by the Coos County Sheriff’s Office and lodged on additional drug charges. SCINT is working closely with the Coos County District Attorney's office on Matthew Medeiros’s cases, leading to Matthew Medeiros being held at the Coos County Jail. Attached to this release are some of the photos of what has been seized over the last year, as words cannot describe how vast the drug problem is within Coos County. I hope those who read this understand a little more about how active SCINT is within Coos County and believe that we are doing everything we can to stop this from continuing to plague the county.Photos from Coos County Sheriff's Office's post

🦃Gang Violence🍗 By: Captain Sean Sanborn It happens every year, on one day in November. It is predictable and we celebrate it as a nation. The official name for it is Thanksgiving, however many folks call it turkey day due to the boat loads of turkey which are eaten across the nation. I got curious one time and looked up what a grouping of turkey are called. The technical term of a grouping of turkeys is a “Rafter”. Of course, there is flock, an interesting name is a Posse which refers to a group of male wild turkeys, a brood refers to a group that includes young turkeys and a Gobble. I think we can all figure out what a gobble refers to. Lastly, there is a Gang which refers to a group of domesticated turkey, or a group of wild turkeys with multiple broods. I know, right, a cheesy play on words. But if one cannot laugh at their own jokes, one is lonely indeed! Often however, your Coos County Sheriff’s Office responds to acts of violence on Thanksgiving and Christmas. The holidays are often busy for us with domestic assaults and other family related incidents and problems. I stopped trying to figure out the “why” a long time ago. However, common sense dictates that perhaps it is that time of year when relatives who rightfully spend time apart come together to celebrate. Often times there is alcohol or drugs involved and sometimes it is bloody. Statistically, domestic violence calls are some of the more dangerous calls we respond to. With limited staffing, it is even more so. You see, with family, strong emotions become involved. Often times, these are problems which have been brewing over a period of years and then something happens. A Deputy rolls up and must figure out how to solve the problem in less than an hour. Sometimes it takes some time to get past the details which have been brewing over time and get to the root of the problem which occurred that day. What makes it so dangerous you ask? It is the heavy feelings involved. In many families a good holiday fight is a regular part of the holidays. It is sad to say, but true none the less. When law enforcement gets called and we have to make the decision to remove a person in order to maintain the peace, that often makes the other party unhappy. Perhaps we are taking away the bread winner of the household and the implications suddenly hit home for the significant other. Sometimes people just want to fight. Domestic violence investigations are unpredictable which makes them dangerous. Another prevalent and tragic event during this time of year is suicide. In this time of giving, remember your neighbors. The holidays are often lonely and sad times for many who have lost loved ones or experienced traumatic events in their lives which lead to depression and various other mental health crises. If you, or someone you love is feeling depressed, and have feelings of harming yourself or others, call 988, text Oregon at 741741 or call Coos Health and Wellness at 541-266-6800. There is help in nearly every situation, you just have to ask for it. As we move into Thanksgiving, I encourage folks to enjoy the holidays. Let’s not get the police or the Sheriff’s Office involved in our holiday gatherings due to some violent or tragic act which occurred. Take a breather, go to another part of the house, or simply leave the situation should it become volatile. If it is a situation that you simply cannot handle, call us before the fight starts and we will try to work it out before something bad happens, but please do not indulge in violent activities. If you need help, or in crisis, reach out, help is available. We want everyone to have a happy and safe holiday season, and more than all, we want to go home at the end of our shift and enjoy that time with our families also. Have a safe holiday and please do not fall victim to Gang Violence!
