41-year-old man arrested on multiple charges in connection with vehicle break-ins in Eugene

Eugene, OR – On March 6, at 10:15 a.m., a Eugene Police officer observed a white pickup truck with U-Haul labels in the 900 block of Franklin Boulevard.
The truck caught the officer’s attention because it matched the description of a vehicle linked to a series of recent vehicle break-ins, as flagged by a Community Service Officer in an email to staff.
One of the break-ins had been reported on March 4 by a family member visiting a relative at a hospice facility, whose vehicle windows had been smashed and showed pry marks on the door.
The officer initiated a traffic stop on the truck and contacted the driver, 41-year-old Cody Lee Lewis. It was revealed that Lewis was driving with a suspended license.
Through further investigation, the officer identified Lewis as the suspect in two separate vehicle break-ins, as well as a third unreported case in Springfield. The officer also discovered that Lewis was in possession of a firearm, methamphetamine, and burglary tools.
Lewis was arrested on multiple charges, including Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Driving While Suspended Misdemeanor, Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine, Tampering with Evidence, Possession of Burglar Tools, and Criminal Mischief in the Second Degree.
