Drunk Driving Arrests Douglas Co., May 23

Deputies arrested five individuals over the weekend for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants. The Sheriff’s Office is committed to finding those individuals who drivers who are impaired and should not be on the roadway. In addition to our commitment, there are currently increased DUII Patrols to combat impaired driving, thanks to a grant provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and administered by the Oregon Department of Transportation. The safety of our community and the other motorists on the road are of the utmost importance. Arrested for DUII 5/19/2017 at 5pm through 05/21/2017 at 11:59 pm.  Donn Leonard Spellman; 54 years old of Yoncalla, OR. Joseph Paul Vick; 35 years old of Roseburg, OR; Timo Jussi Hirvonen; 42 years old of Myrtle Creek, OR; Scott Lee Fergason; 44 years old of McMinnville, OR; Noah Christopher Banks; 36 years old of Roseburg, OR.  As the warmer weather increases, so do recreational and outdoor activities. The Sheriff’s Office encourages people to act responsibly. Help us to decrease the fatality and DUII rate in Douglas County this year. Avoid going to jail by calling a cab, a friend or family member to drive if you have been drinking or are otherwise under the influence of intoxicants.  Remember: “Drive sober or get pulled over”.
