Eugene, Ore. – In response to the disorderly party incidents in the west University area on April 23 and again on May 7, Eugene Police staffed a heavy patrol presence over the weekend with emphasis on the west University area. The patrols enforced all levels of infractions, moving beyond the initial education-first approach due to the unruly and dangerous behavior that has been occurring. Overtime patrols were staffed Friday and Saturday nights.

At 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 14, eight patrol officers responded to a large party at 1915 Hilyard St. that became an Unruly Gathering, following earlier noise complaints made by area residents. During this event, approximately 100 people had gathered at the residence. While officers were contacting tenants of the home hosting the party, police received varying levels of cooperation from them and party-goers. During this time, three glass bottles were thrown over the fence at officers from the large group in the backyard of the home. One tenant was lodged at the Lane County Jail and six others were issued citations in lieu of custody for related offenses. Once again, some parents were present and partaking in the festivities at the residence.

Officers issued (25) violation citations for Minor in Possession of Alcohol; (1) violation citation for Urinating in Public; and (4) violation citations for Unruly Gathering. Additional citations are still pending from events throughout the weekend.
The social host, or Ordinance on Unruly Gatherings, holds individuals criminally responsible for hosting, organizing and allowing an unruly event or social gathering. The Eugene Municipal Court has assigned a base fine of $375 for criminal violations of this ordinance. Additionally, property owners where the event is hosted may also be penalized if there are multiple violations of this ordinance. Both hosts and property owners may be civilly liable for police, fire and public works response costs that fall under this ordinance, at an estimated cost of $800 per incident.
Property owners where tenants were issued citations under this ordinance will receive letters in the coming days notifying them of activity at their property, as well as their potential obligation for subsequent events. For more information: SOCIAL HOST
