1/7/26 - LCSO Case 26-0098   
  
Deputies arrest Oakridge woman after pursuit from River Road area   
  
On January 7th at 3 a.m., a Lane County Sheriff’s deputy observed a vehicle driving west on Irving Road, Eugene, at more than 60 miles per hour in a 35-mile-per-hour zone. The deputy initiated a traffic stop, however the vehicle continued to Northwest Expressway and accelerated north to over 100 miles per hour. Deputies coordinated with a Junction City Police officer to place spikes on the road at Prairie Road and Milliron Road.    
  
The vehicle ran over the spikes and its tires deflated, slowing the vehicle. The driver, Racheal Anne Katlyn Obert, 30, of Oakridge, jumped from the vehicle as it was still moving.    
  
The vehicle continued into the ditch and stopped. She then complied with deputies and was detained. Deputies located suspected methamphetamine in her possession. After additional investigation, Obert was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail for the following charges:   
 - Fleeing or Attempting to Elude Police Officer by Vehicle   
 - Reckless Driving   
 - Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine – Misdemeanor   
 - Lane County Circuit Court warrant for a probation violation on a conviction for Possession of a Stolen Vehicle   
 - Three Springfield Municipal Court warrants for failure to appear on two Theft in the 2nd Degree charges and a Criminal Trespass in the 1st Degree charge
