Disorderly Conduct
CCSO news release. On 1/28/2018 at about 11:05 am a Coos County Sheriff’s Deputy driving a marked patrol truck south on Highway 42S approaching the community of Riverton, Oregon he saw a male standing at the side of the roadway. As he drove toward man, later identified as David Jenkins (Age 40 from Coquille, Oregon), the man jumped from the shoulder of the roadway into the south bound lane of traffic and tried to punch the moving patrol truck. The Deputy steered the patrol truck into the unoccupied oncoming lane of traffic to avoid hitting the man. The Deputy slowed and turned around to contact the man. When the Deputy approached him again he again jumped into the south bound lane of traffic facing the Deputy. He stood in the roadway in a sort of spread eagle fashion and waved both of his hands from his wrists as though inviting the Deputy to approach him. He was also yelling nonsense at the Deputy. The Deputy stopped and activated his overhead lights near Mr. Jenkins. When the Deputy got out of the patrol truck, David Jenkins approached the Deputy in the lane of traffic. David Jenkins started speaking about several things all in one breath and in one very long sentence. He was saying someone was watching him, someone was dead, his backpack was gone and several other things all at once. His skin was very sweaty and his mouth was constantly in movement consistent with what is known as Bruxism. Based on these observations and what the Deputy knew of Mr. Jenkins history, he believed David Jenkins was under the influence of a substance, most likely methamphetamine. The Deputy told Mr. Jenkins to step out of the roadway. Although he complied it was as though he immediately forgot and again walked across the white fog line into the lane of traffic again. At that point David Jenkins was placed him under arrest and secured in handcuffs. The Deputy stood by for dispatch to send another police responder who had the capability to transport Mr. Jenkins to the Coos County Jail. While waiting for Coquille Police to arrive and assist with the transport, the Deputy stood in close proximity to Mr. Jenkins and maintained physical hold on his arm. Several times he tried to walk away from the Deputy and back into traffic. At one point while waiting, Mr. Jenkins placed his nose about an inch away from the Deputies driver’s side tail light. It had a blue flashing light which was inside of the tail light and part of the emergency lighting the truck was equipped with. David Jenkins looked into the blue flashing light and had a conversation with Donald Trump which included reporting a number of suspicious incidents which only made any sense in Mr. Jenkins altered state of mind. Mr. Jenkins was transported to the Coos County Jail. Once at the Coos County Jail, Mr. Jenkins refused to cooperate with jail staff. He refused to answer their booking questions and repeatedly failed to keep his hands on the counter and to follow other instructions from staff. He also refused to remove his coat and sweatshirt for the booking process. Deputies assisted him in removing these items after which point he was placed in a holding cell. Based on the investigation Mr. Jenkins was charged with violating ORS 166.025 Disorderly Conduct II by engaging in threatening behavior, by obstructing vehicular traffic on a public roadway, and by creating a hazardous condition for other persons traveling through the area.
