9/13/25 - Lane County Sheriff’s deputies arrest 6 DUII drivers over the weekend The Lane County Sheriff’s Office does not have a dedicated traffic team or deputy assigned to DUI enforcement due to lack of funding. However, our deputies are committed to the safety of our community, and that includes our roadways. Over the weekend, deputies arrested 6 drivers for DUII. Each of these cases could have ended tragically, as our deputies often see out on our roads.
