SAR, Lane Co.
On April 19th around noon, Lane County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue and Marine Patrol deputies were dispatched to a report of a 59-year-old male in the water at Lookout Point Lake. The male had fallen out of his kayak but was wearing a lifejacket. He was unable to get back in the boat, however, and had been in the water for over 15 minutes. Deputies were able to get the male and his kayaking partner to shore. The male was transported to the hospital to be evaluated for hypothermia. This call could have turned out tragically had the boaters not been wearing life jackets. Our many lakes and rivers are still frigid from snow melt and cold spring nights. It can take only minutes for even a strong swimmer submerged in the water to lose the ability to swim or even call for help. Enjoy Lane County’s waterways, but please, ALWAYS wear a life jacket!
Armed Suspect Update, Lane Co.
04/21/24 Update: Late in the evening of April 21st, Sheriff’s deputies and a K9, Oregon State Police, and a Springfield Police K9 responded to a reported sighting of Dimmick at Terwilliger Hot Springs. He was reportedly still armed with a sword and was asking for a ride to town. He was not located, and it is unknown if he was given a ride before law enforcement arrived. Anyone who encounters Dimmick is asked to contact the Lane County Sheriff’s Office at 541-682-4150 option 1. Thanks to the Oregon State Police and Springfield Police K9 for their assistance. Original release – At about 11 a.m. on April 20th, deputies and Oregon State Police troopers responded to the area of Terwilliger Hot Springs for a report of a disorderly subject swinging a sword around and inhaling nitrous oxide. The subject left prior to their arrival, but was then observed driving back toward the hot springs. A deputy attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle. The driver attempted to elude the deputy up gravel Forest Service roads to the south. They were able to identify the driver as Andrew Hamilton Dimmick, 33, of Crawfordsville, and determined he had several warrants for his arrest. Eventually the vehicle stopped due to downed trees blocking the road, and Dimmick fled on foot. A Sheriff’s K9 and two Eugene Police K9s responded and began searching the area along with a drone. After several hours of searching in difficult terrain, they were unable to locate Dimmick. Dimmick is described as 6’4” tall, 175 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a green hoodie and blue shorts, and may still be armed with a sword. If you observe a matching subject or have more information on this case, please contact the Lane County Sheriff’s Office at 541-682-4150 option 1. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Oregon State Police and Eugene Police K9s for their assistance on this call.
