Lane Co. Sheriff's Office

LCSO Case #21-4121

On 07/23/21 the Lane County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of N. Morningstar Rd. and Enterprise Rd. in Pleasant Hill after receiving reports that shots had been fired.  A silver Volkswagen Golf and a 2001 Silver Mitsubishi car were observed fleeing the area moments later. 

On 07/31/21 at around 8:30am a Trooper with the Oregon State Police spotted a vehicle matching the  description of the Mitsubishi and attempted to initiate a traffic stop.  The Mitsubishi backed into the Trooper’s vehicle then fled at a high rate of speed.  Troopers and Deputies pursued the vehicle and spike strips were successfully deployed as the vehicle was driving on Interstate 5.  The vehicle eventually came to a stop and the occupants were taken into custody. 

During the chase the occupants of the Mitsubishi discarded a firearm out the window.  This firearm was recovered shortly thereafter.  Also at one point the vehicle struck the front end of a Lane County Sheriff’s patrol vehicle. 

No one reported injuries during today’s incident.

39 year old Jennifer Lynn  Robertson was identified as the driver of the Mitsubishi.  She faces charges from both today’s and last week’s incidents including:  Criminal Conspiracy, Hit and Run, Reckless Endangering, Reckless Driving, Attempt to Elude, Escape in the 3rd Degree, interfering with Police, Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Attempted Assault in the 1st Degree.  She will be lodged at the Lane County Jail.

38 year old Jesse Johnson was identified as the passenger of the Mitsubishi today.  He will be lodged at the Lane County Jail on charges related to both today’s and last week’s incidents including:  Reckless Endangering, Interfering with Police, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Criminal Conspiracy, Menacing, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Attempted Assault in the 1st Degree and Offensive Littering.    

Regarding the original shots fired incident, the Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to speak with the occupant or occupants of a silver Volkswagen Golf that was in the area of N. Morningstar Rd. and Enterprise Rd. on 07/23/21 at around 8:30pm.  We are hoping to make contact with a person by the name of ‘Ryder’ or ‘Dillon’ and any additional witnesses that may have information about the shooting.
