Warrant Arrest
Location 20, Mile post 3 3 EB, LINCOLN OR USA
Narrative Summary
On 11/28/2020 at approximately 5:31 PM, I was in uniform driving a marked patrol car traveling eastbound on US-20 near milepost 3. This is a public roadway in the county of Lincoln, Oregon. I observed a dark gray SUV crossing over the fog line and center line while traveling east on US-20. I stopped the vehicle near milepost 3.5 and contacted the driver. He told me he was unfamiliar with the area and it was foggy. When I observed him crossing over both lines, there was minimum fog in the area. He told me he didn’t have an Oregon driver’s license but he did provide me with a California driver’s license. When I checked his credentials through LEDS/DMV, I found he was suspended violation level in Oregon, and he had an active warrant for his arrest out of Philomath for contempt of court. NCC called and confirmed the warrant was still active. He was cited and released. The warrant number is 20-W139.
