The CBPD arrested Mr. Lesher on probable cause from the FPD, which charged unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, aggravated theft I, theft by deception, forgery I, and identity theft. CBPD officers found and recovered some of the stolen property from the FPD case. The Oregon State Police (OSP) transported Mr. Lesher to Reedsport and into the custody of the FPD.

The criminal cases that resulted from Mr. Lesher’s arrest remain under investigation in partnership with surrounding law enforcement agencies. The CBPD appreciates the aid and cooperation from the Florence Police Department, the Oregon State Police, and the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indian Tribal Police.
