Witnesses reported he was also screaming at area residents. A Trooper in the area patrolling Highway 36 arrived first. Despite responding "Code 3" with lights and sirens, it took approximately 40 minutes for deputies to arrive due to limited staffing and distance from their previous calls. A sergeant with the Lane County Sheriff’s Crisis Negotiation Team contacted the male, identified as Nicholas Michael Reibold, 39, of Swisshome, by phone while deputies were in route. When deputies arrived, he was wearing a tactical vest with body armor, but had discarded the knife. Deputies employed additional de-escalation tactics as Reibold continued to walk across Highway 36. He eventually complied with instructions and was detained without further incident. After additional investigation, Reibold was lodged at the Lane County Jail for Trespass in the 2nd Degree and Disorderly Conduct in the 2nd Degree.

Call and traffic statistics released for the Oregon Country Fair The Oregon Country Fair (OCF) continues to be one of the largest events held in rural Lane County, bringing in roughly 10-15,000 people per day during the second weekend of July. Each year, we partner with the City of Veneta and OCF staff to help ensure a safe, fun event. This includes additional overtime for deputies to patrol in the city, deputies at each entrance to the fair, and grant-funded overtime for traffic enforcement. “This year was very calm for law enforcement,” noted Sergeant Tim Wallace, the Public Information Officer for the Lane County Sheriff’s Office. “People are driving safer, and most importantly not driving while impaired.” While not a final tally, current data for the fair shows deputies gave warnings for 21 violations and issued citations for 57 violations. The citations issued included 20 speeding violations, 9 seatbelt violations, 7 for Driving Uninsured, 7 for Driving While Suspended – Violation, and 7 for Driving While Suspended – Misdemeanor. At least three overdoses were reported in camps outside of OCF, however none were fatal. Also of note this year, there were only three arrests related to fair events: LCSO Case #25-3193 On July 5th, OCF staff discovered Elijah David Russo, 31, of Elmira, filming adults and juveniles in a shower area with a hidden cell phone. He was escorted off the property for contact by deputies. After investigating, deputies arrested Russo for Encouraging Child Sex Abuse in the 1st Degree and Invasion of Personal Privacy in the 1st Degree. LCSO Case #25-3278 On July 12th just after midnight, deputies responded to a dispute in Zumwalt County Park, Veneta. After contacting several victims and witnesses, deputies arrested Katie Lynne Kartak, 39, of Gold Bar, Washington, for Assault in the 4th Degree - Felony. During booking at the Lane County Jail, Kartak attempted to injure herself and then injured a deputy who intervened. As a result, she was also charged with Assault on a Public Safety Officer. LCSO Case #25-3314 On July 13th at about 8 p.m., deputies located a vehicle that had reportedly been driving poorly on Suttle Road, Elmira. The driver, Alic Ben Martinez, 31, of Eugene, had a confirmed Eugene Municipal Court warrant for Failure to Appear on a charge of DUI and was arrested.
