The Lane County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect in an illegal dumping incident that occurred near Big Fall Creek Rd. Milepost 3 earlier this summer. The suspect is described as a medium build white male adult with gray balding hair. He had a gray beard at the time of the incident. The suspect is associated with a dark gray or black four door Toyota Tacoma pickup with oversized wheels and tires. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office has already received over 100 separate reports of illegal dumping in 2021. Not only does illegal dumping create unsafe and hazardous conditions, it damages our beautiful landscape and costs Lane County taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars every year. Anyone with information about the suspect or his whereabouts is asked to contact Deputy Todd Olson with the Lane County Sheriff’s Office at 541-682-4141 opt. 1. *UPDATE* 09/28/21 / 1154 – Thanks to the outpouring of tips from the community, the suspect in this case has been identified and charged with Illegal Dumping. The suspect and his vehicle are no longer to be considered of interest. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the community for its involvement in identifying the suspect.
