On April 25th, 2024, Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the report of an assault that had just occurred at an adult foster care facility in the 90700blk of Prairie Rd. in Eugene. Deputies learned that a resident, 46-year-old Levi Nelson, was being violent with other residents and had intentionally struck another resident in the face. Upon arrival, deputies attempted to speak with Nelson at which time he tried to grab one of the deputy’s tasers from her duty belt. The deputy took hold of his arm at which time he pulled away and then began striking her in the head/neck area with a closed fist. Nelson grabbed hold of another deputy’s holstered firearm as they struggled to get him under control. Deputies were able to eventually overpower Nelson and get him into custody without any serious injuries being sustained by any of the involved parties. Nelson was transported and lodged at the Lane County Jail on charges including Physical Harassment and two counts of Assault on a Public Safety Officer.
