GLENWOOD – On Dec. 18 at 1 a.m., the LCSO received a report of people stealing gas from a business in Glenwood. Deputies responded and observed Kevin Raye Fanning, 59, and Kristina Michelle Cole, 45, both of Eugene, siphoning gas from a company vehicle. Cole initially provided a false name; however, deputies identified them and determined they both had warrants for their arrest. During a search of the car belonging to Fanning, a felon, deputies located a firearm.
Cole was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail for several offenses, including Criminal Trespass in the 2nd Degree, Theft in the 3rd Degree, and Giving False Information to a Peace Officer. She was also wanted on a Marion County Circuit Court warrant for Theft in the 2nd Degree and a Lane County probation warrant for Possession of Methamphetamine.
Fanning was also arrested and placed in the Lane County Jail on charges of Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Theft in the 3rd Degree. He had outstanding warrants from the Eugene Municipal Court for failing to appear on charges of Giving False Information to a Peace Officer, Trespass in the 1st Degree, and Failure to Report as a Sex Offender.
Due to limited staffing, several deputies worked overtime.
