In Brief
Police: Suspect observed making unwanted contact
SPRINGFIELD – Police officials are seeking the community’s help in identifying and/or locating a suspect. According to a report by detective Terry Murray, on Dec. 30, 2023, an unknown man was accompanied with a female child estimated between the ages of 3 and 5 years old at the Splash! swim center. The suspect approached an adult female in the swimming pool and subjected her to unwanted sexual contact. The man was observed leaving as police were arriving, but he had been identified on video surveillance. Contact SPD at 541-726-3714 or [email protected].
■ Bogus 911 calls lead to arrest : Unwarranted 911 calls began coming into the SPD on Feb. 25 from a man living on the 300 block of E Street. The suspect, whose name was not identified in the police report, failed to articulate an emergency and was advised to stop misusing the emergency system. The suspect continued making calls to 911, and when police arrived at the scene, the suspect refused to answer the door, and continued to make the calls. In a 36-hour period the suspect made more than 25 calls to 911. The next day, officers placed the suspect under arrest. The suspect was taken into custody without incident.
■ Assault suspect caught: A days-long investigation led SPD to arrest a man suspected of harassment at the Lane Transit Station at 355 S. A St. Feb. 13. According to a report by Sgt. Justin Meyers, the investigation revealed probable cause to arrest James Dwight Peters, 38, of Springfield, for felony-level Assault IV and Strangulation. Police on Feb. 19 found Peters in the 4600 block of Franklin Blvd. Officers from the department’s K9 team, drone team, and SWAT assisted in the apprehension due to safety concerns and reports that Peters was in possession of a firearm. Peters was taken into custody without incident and was lodged at the Lane County Jail.
