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. Mclaughlin continued to resist the K9 and deputies but was taken into custody. He was transported to an area hospital for evaluation and then lodged at the Lane County Jail on the following charges:   
 - Violation of a Restraining Order   
 - Criminal Trespass in the 2nd Degree   
 - Menacing   
 - Attempted Assault on a Public Safety Officer   
 - Unlawful Use of a Weapon   
 - Interfering with a Police Animal   
 - Resisting Arrest   
  
Deputies learned Mclaughlin had recently harassed a resident at the location and injured a puppy by cutting one of its ears nearly off. After additional investigation, Mclaughlin was also charged with:   
 - Harassment   
 - Animal Abuse in the 2nd Degree   
  
Thanks to the Eugene Police Department and Lane County Parole & Probation for their assistance on this incident. Featured News by Lane County Sheriff
