11/17/25 - Deputies arrest multiple impaired drivers, respond to crashes over the week 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. 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! Deputies arrested several drivers for DUII over the week. Each of these cases could have ended tragically, as our deputies often see out on our roads. Please drive safe this holiday season! On November 10th at about a half-hour past midnight, Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a disorderly subject at a gas station in Creswell. When the first deputy arrived, the male, Andrew Randall Lukkasson-Huss, 31, of Vancouver, Washington, was preventing drivers from exiting a drive through at a nearby restaurant. Lukkasson fought attempts by the deputy to arrest him. One of the drivers helped the deputy gain control of Lukkasson until more deputies and Oregon State Troopers arrived. After additional investigation, deputies determined Lukkasson had driven to the location while intoxicated. He was arrested for DUII, Disorderly Conduct in the 2nd Degree, Criminal Trespass in the 2nd Degree, and Resisting Arrest. On November 11th at 8:30 p.m., a deputy observed a vehicle unable to maintain it’s lane on Highway 126 and Huston Road, Veneta. The deputy initiated a traffic stop and observed the driver, Joshua Wayne Mustin, 30, of Veneta, was intoxicated. A passenger was also in the vehicle. After additional investigation, Mustin was arrested for DUII and Recklessly Endangering Another Person. On November 12th at 2 a.m., deputies responded to a possible burglary on Row River Road, east of Cottage Grove. They contacted the suspect, Anthony Michael Cobiskey, 27, of Cottage Grove, in a vehicle nearby. While no burglary had occurred, deputies observed signs Cobisky was intoxicated. After additional investigation, Cobisky was arrested for DUII. On November 14th at 4 p.m., deputies responded to a four-vehicle crash in the 2000 block of River Road. One of the vehicles, driven by Thomas William Carson, 66, of Eugene, had struck three other vehicles in an oncoming lane after veering across the roadway. Deputies observed signs Carson was impaired. After additional investigation, he was arrested for DUII, Reckless Driving, and Recklessly Endangering Another Person. At 11 p.m., deputies responded to a single-vehicle crash with fire personnel on Siuslaw River Road, Milepost 43. Deputies observed signs the driver, Jesse James Irvin, 23, of Drain, was intoxicated. After additional investigation, deputies arrested Irvin for DUII. Featured News by Lane County Sheriff
