8/19/25 - Lane County Sheriff’s deputies arrest multiple 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. Deputies will be using state grant-funded overtime during the next several weeks for DUII enforcement. Please consider others if you choose to drink or use drugs: 🚙 Plan your safe ride home ahead of time 🍺 If you drink or use drugs, do not drive for any reason 🔑 If you know someone has been drinking or using drugs, don't let them drive 💃 If you host a party with alcohol, make sure all guests leave with a sober driver 👍 And please, always wear your seatbelt! Over the weekend, deputies arrested 7 drivers for DUII. Each of these cases could have ended tragically, as our deputies often see out on our roads. On August 14th at about 5 a.m., a deputy assigned to Creswell located a driver in a pickup who had been reported to Oregon State Police as likely intoxicated. The vehicle stopped in the area of W. Oregon Avenue and N. 10th Street, Creswell. The deputy contacted the driver and observed signs of impairment. After additional investigation, the driver, Russell Darrin Allen, 35, of Eugene, was arrested for DUII and Possession of Methamphetamine. (LCSO Case 25-3848) That evening around 10 p.m., a deputy observed a sedan in the area Prairie Road and Irvington Drive, Eugene, that was driving poorly. The deputy initiated traffic stop and observed signs the driver was impaired. After additional investigation, the driver, Barbara Dawn Atchley, 65, of Eugene, was arrested for DUII. (LCSO Case 25-3866) On August 15th at about 6 p.m., deputies received a report of a vehicle that struck a median on I-105. A deputy located the vehicle on Emerald Parkway in Creswell. When contacted, the driver, Ashley Nicole Rigel, 38, of Cottage Grove, showed signs of impairment. After additional investigation, Rigel was arrested for DUII. (LCSO Case 25-3880) About 30 minutes after the above call, a deputy responded to a report of an intoxicated driver on Prairie Road. The deputy located the vehicle and observed it driving poorly on Prairie Road, Eugene. The deputy initiated a traffic stop, contacted the driver, Michaela Ann Williams, 35, of Junction City, and observed signs of impairment. After additional investigation, Williams was arrested for DUII. (LCSO Case 25-3879) At 10:30 p.m., deputies responded to a dispute among several intoxicated residents on Ruby Avenue. During the investigation, one of the involved, Quenterica Sheres Maddox-Franklin, 37, of Eugene, got in a vehicle and drove away from the location. A deputy initiated a traffic stop and observed signs the driver was still impaired. After additional investigation, Maddox-Franklin was arrested for DUII. (LCSO Case 25-3881) On August 16th at about 9 p.m., a deputy observed a vehicle driving poorly on Highway 126 at Fisher Road. The deputy initiated a traffic stop, contacted the driver, and observed signs of impairment. After additional investigation, the driver, Sara Naomi Hixon, 31, of Springfield, was arrested for DUII. (LCSO Case 25-3916) Later that evening, on August 17th at about 1 a.m., a deputy observed a vehicle driving poorly on I-105 and initiated a traffic stop. The deputy contacted the driver, Jeremiah Gabriel Eagleson, 27, of Springfield, and observed signs of impairment. After additional investigation, Eagleson was arrested for DUII.
