🚨Convicted Sex-Offender Arrested for Failure to Register🚨
On June 23, 2025, at approximately 12:20 PM, Deputy Z. Smith observed a red 2004 Ford Focus commit a traffic violation near Libby Lane and Shinglehouse Road. A traffic stop was conducted near Southwest Blvd and Pennsylvania Road in Coos Bay. The driver, identified as Dennis Steinhoff (64), was found to be non-compliant with his mandated sex offender registration due to a prior conviction.
Deputy Smith took Steinhoff into custody and transported him to Coos County Jail for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender. Following a thorough check, jail staff determined Steinhoff was to be released in compliance with SB 48, as no overriding factors were present.
We remain committed to public safety and appreciate your continued support.

🚨 Seatbelt Blitz Results 🚨
From May 19 through June 1, the Coos County Sheriff's Office conducted a Seatbelt Enforcement Blitz to promote road safety. Our team completed 3 overtime shifts and 3 targeted patrols during a match shift, resulting in:
🚗 15 Traffic Stops ⚠️ 12 Warnings Issued 🎫 4 Seatbelt Citations 🚓 4 Driving While Suspended Citations or Arrests 📝 3 Citations for Expired Registration or Other Violations
We’re committed to keeping our roads safe. Please buckle up, ensure your registration is current, and drive responsibly! #CoosCountySheriff #SeatbeltSafety #DriveSafeBuckle Up, Coos County! 🚔💨
The Coos County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Gabe Fabrizio, is joining the national Click It or Ticket campaign from May 19 to June 1, 2025. This high-visibility enforcement effort aims to save lives by ensuring everyone buckles up, especially during the Memorial Day holiday.
"Seat belt use should be an automatic habit," says Sheriff Fabrizio. "It’s not just safe—it’s the law. Our deputies will be out in force to make sure this message hits home."
Why it matters:
•In 2023, nearly 9% of drivers and passengers didn’t buckle up, risking their lives.
•Over half of males killed in crashes were unrestrained, compared to 41% of females.
•Nighttime is critical, with more unrestrained fatalities occurring after dark.
"If this campaign saves even one life, it’s a success," Sheriff Fabrizio adds. "We urge everyone to make buckling up a habit and remind friends and family to do the same."
Let’s make Coos County’s roads safer. Click It or Ticket—buckle up every time!

Stay safe, Coos County!

🚨Sheriff’s Office and Bandon PD Swiftly Arrest Suspect in Marple Lane Shots Fired Incident🚨
On June 12, 2025, at about 2:40 PM, Deputy H. Francis, alongside Bandon Police Department and other Sheriff’s Office personnel, swiftly responded to a report of shots fired on Marple Lane in Bandon. A local resident had confronted a man, later identified as 45-year-old Joshua Pittman, on their property. After a brief dispute, Pittman was asked to leave and walked further up the road. The resident later checked their driveway and saw Pittman pull a silver firearm from his waistband and fire a round into the ground.
Our dedicated team, including Deputy Francis and Sergeant J. Boswell with K9 Poe, sprang into action. Chief Dhillon of Bandon PD located Pittman emerging from nearby brush, and Deputy Francis secured the firearm as evidence. Pittman was arrested for Menacing and Unlawful Use of a Weapon and taken to Coos County Jail. On June 13, he appeared in court and was released on his own recognizance.
We’re grateful for the community’s alertness and our strong partnership with Bandon PD, which helped resolve this incident quickly and safely. Stay vigilant, and thank you for your continued support!

🚨 Deputy Z. Smith Apprehends Suspect in Coos Bay 🚓
On June 7, 2025, Deputy Z. Smith learned that 21-year-old Marin Diaz had fled from Coquille Police in a white Ford pickup truck. Records showed Diaz’s license was suspended at a misdemeanor level, and he had an active warrant for a prior DUII charge.
On June 11 at approximately 2:42 p.m., while patrolling Old Wagon Road in Coos Bay, Deputy Smith spotted Diaz driving the same white Ford. When Smith activated his patrol lights, Diaz sped down a residential driveway in an attempt to evade him.
Diaz abandoned the truck and fled on foot, trying to hide nearby. Deputy Smith called for assistance from Sgt. Slater and K9 Cena, but located Diaz before they arrived. With help from Coquille PD, investigators confirmed Diaz was the driver in the June 7 incident.
Diaz was arrested for driving while suspended, his active warrant, and now faces charges related to the Coquille pursuit. He was booked at Coos County Jail, probably wondering how his “great escape” turned into a one-way ticket to time-out! 😆 Great job, Deputy Smith, for keeping our streets safe! Keep those eagle eyes sharp, and Coos County, let’s stick to the speed limit! 🍩 #cooscountysheriff

🚨Brandy Piepkorn Arrested for Second No Contact Order Violation at Ko-Kwell Casino Resort, Alongside Friend with Active Warrants🚨
🌙 Early this morning, June 2, 2025, at around 3:54 AM, our dedicated North Coos Dispatch team received a call about a violation of a No Contact Order at Ko-Kwell Casino Resort. Deputy Z. Smith, who’s been on this case from the start, quickly responded and found 29-year-old Brandy Piepkorn on the gaming floor, in contact with the protected party, breaching her No Contact Order for the second time.
The situation escalated when the male involved fled the scene on foot, hiding in a vehicle outside. With the help of the North Bend Police Department, Deputy Z. Smith tracked him down, then returned to take Ms. Piepkorn into custody. While sorting things out, they discovered that a friend of theirs, 29-year-old Rij Duncan, had active warrants. Mr. Duncan briefly left but came back while officers were still there, and Deputy Z. Smith issued him a citation for his warrants.
Ms. Piepkorn was booked into Coos County Jail for violating her No Contact Order. Big thanks to Deputy Z. Smith and NBPD for their quick action to keep our community safe! 💙🚔 #CoosCountySheriff #NorthBendPD #CommunityFirst
