2/3/25 - Barricaded Goshen man arrested after negotiation, K9 deployment On February 3rd at 10 a.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence in the 33900 block of W. Peebles Road, south of Goshen, to serve a restraining order to Jason Speed Mclaughlin, 53, of Goshen. The court order required Mclaughlin to leave the premises. Deputies contacted Mclaughlin in a house on the property. He refused to exit and armed himself with a knife. A sergeant on the Crisis Negotiation Team responded to assist. The sergeant spoke with Mclaughlin through an open window in an attempt to deescalate him. However, after about 90 minutes of negotiation, Mclaughlin threw a large piece of broken glass at the sergeant’s face. A deputy responded with a drone, and a Eugene Police sergeant responded with K9 Ayk. Additional attempts to gain cooperation from Mclaughlin were unsuccessful. K9 Ayk was deployed into the house.
