Eugene, Ore. – On March 28, SHELLY LEE HART, age 51, was contacted by Eugene Police Street Crimes Unit. SCU executed a search warrant at her residence in the 1700 block of Grove Street for weapons, drugs, and stolen property.
There had been a prior search warrant at the same location for similar crimes in February 2022 and police received tips activity there had resumed. Several unreported overdoses had occurred at the location, creating a more exigent need to stop the narcotics distribution at the house.
During the search warrant on March 28, SCU seized approximately 20 grams or more of fentanyl, 10 grams or more of methamphetamine, five grams or more of cocaine, packaging material, two firearms (one stolen), and stolen property from Jerry’s Home Improvement was recovered and seized.

The listed charges have been referred to the Lane County District Attorney’s Office for Hart’s prosecution. Additional charges of Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Elude by Foot, and Escape in the Third Degree will be referred for two other individuals under investigation at the residence. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office responded and took possession of property recovered in one of their cases (from Jerry’s Home Improvement) and issued Hart a Citation in Lieu of Custody for Theft in the Second Degree under their related case number.
