Extensive search leads to arrest of two brothers on River Road for multiple charges

Published

on

Eugene, OR – According to the police officials, at 4:07 p.m. on July 20, an officer spotted 36-year-old Kenneth Russell, who had a felony warrant, near Domino’s at Corliss Lane and River Road. When approached, Kenneth challenged the officer and continued to walk away.

His brother, 34-year-old Levi Russell, interfered with the officer’s actions, keeping his right hand concealed in his pocket and yelling at the officer. Kenneth continued walking away while being verbally argumentative, and Levi refused commands to stay away from the officer.

The officer resorted to using OC spray, which affected both brothers. However, Levi continued to yell at the officer, diverting attention from Kenneth.

At one point, Levi concealed himself behind a brick wall, threw his backpack to the ground, opened it, and began digging through it while threatening the officer.

The officer challenged him with a taser, and Levi eventually fled. The officer and an assisting officer then took Kenneth into custody.

Levi managed to get a ride and hid in the car he was transported in. Police conducted a lengthy and extensive search, which included both drone and K9 deployments. After over an hour of searching, around 5:35 p.m., Levi emerged near an officer and an LCSO K9. He attempted to flee again but ran into a moving vehicle on Division Avenue, fell to the ground, and was apprehended by the assisting LCSO K9.

He was treated on the scene for a dog bite and transported to a local hospital for evaluation. He was then taken to jail on charges including Violation of Restraining Order, Escape in the Third Degree, Interfering, and Menacing. A machete was found in his backpack.

Kenneth Raymond Russell was lodged on charges of Burglary in the Second Degree.
