NARRATIVE OF INCIDENT:
On October 26, 2024 at 0025hrs, Springfield Police Department Officers were dispatched to the 1600 Block of Water Street in Springfield in response to a shots fired call in the area. Witnesses described a red Dodge Ram that drove down the street before the passenger yelled and fired several shots out of the window into the air. Officers were able to locate multiple shells on the road in the area described by witnesses.
Springfield Police Department officers advised over the radio of the vehicle description. A short time later, Eugene Police Department officers positively identified the vehicle in Eugene. When EPD officers attempted a stop, the vehicle failed to yield and began a pursuit. The vehicle was relocated on I5 southbound, where units from Lane County Sheriff’s Office joined the pursuit. An Oregon State Police Trooper responding to an unrelated crash was able to successfully spike the suspect vehicle’s tires, before it exited into Cottage Grove where CGPD officers were ready to assist.
The vehicle crashed on Sears Road in Cottage Grove, where the driver (Randolph) was taken into custody without incident. The passenger (Bivens) fled the crash on foot but was captured shortly after. During a search of the vehicle, SPD officers located a firearm matching the caliber of the shell casings found at the original scene. Additionally, the vehicle was found to be stolen and a stolen motorcycle was tarped and in the bed of the vehicle.
Bivens and Randolph were booked on the charges below and transported to Lane County Jail.
