I Broken bottles — in this case, a fifth of Hana Bay Rum and a 40-ounce Pabst Blue Ribbon — are all that remain of Friday night’s riot on
Patterson Street between 16th and 17th Avenues. Eugene Police stepped up patrols over the weekend to preempt unruly partiers.
Riot
I continued from page 1
everybody ran out to the middle of
■ the street,” said Alicia Spitzer, a ffesh
■ man at Lane Community College.
Spitzer said people had been
drinking heavily at a party in a
nearby apartment building.
“Every single room was open,
and there were kegs in every other
room,” she said.
Rioters uprooted street signs,
lighted bonfires and hurled insults
and bottles at police until officers
fired tear gas into the crowd, ac
cording to police reports.
“Many officers, myself included,
were hit with bottles,” Eugene Po
lice Department Lt. Ron Roberts
said early Saturday morning.
After the tear gas dissipated,
more than 100 people returned to
the scene, gathered at street corners
and on balconies and continued to
jeer police and throw debris until 2
a.m., when police regained control
of the area.
By about 1:30 a.m., at least 40 of
ficers from Eugene, Springfield,
Coburg and state police agencies
were walking through the area
telling people to leave the streets or
risk arrest. Crushed cans and bro
ken glass crunched beneath their
boots as smoke from a fire drifted
south along Patterson Street.
A jet of water flowed into the
street from a broken water facet,
and broken strands of police
crime-scene tape lay scattered
throughout the area.
Police report that seven officers
were injured, though none were
hospitalized, three patrol cars sus
tained broken windows and 11
student-age people were arrested
and charged with riot-related of
fenses. The student directory lists
six of the 11 people arrested as
University students.
Despite the violence, the mood
among many of the student-age
people in the area seemed almost
jubilant. At about 1 a.m., dozens of
people shouted support for their fa
vorite sports teams and derided
their least favorite, chanting “Go
Ducks” and “Fuck the Lakers.”
Several people posed for photo
graphs with an advancing cordon
of riot police in the background.
Friday’s melee was the first since
the 1997 and 1998 Halloween riots,
which spurred the EPD’s zero-toler
a,n.ce policy against alcohol viola
The following people were arrested Friday night
on charges relating to the riot:
Matthew Charles Baum, 19, of Eugene, charged with disorderly conduct and
noise disturbance
Justin Reilly Cooley, 21, hometown unknown, charged with disorderly conduct
criminal mischief and interfering with a police officer
Rocky Levi Ouffey, 19, of Eugene, charged with disorderly conduct
Daniel Lawrence Faecinetti, 19, of Eugene, charged with disorderly conduct
Megan Michael Glenn, 18, hometown unknown, charged with disorderly
conduct and interfering with a police officer
Andrew William Jordan, 22, of Eugene, charged with disorderly conduct and
interfering with a police officer
Brady Patrick Lane, 21, of Eugene, charged with riot and disorderly conduct
Cameron Lee Levin, 19, hometown unknown, charged with harassment and
disorderly conduct
Cody Jacob Lincoln, 21, of Oakridge, charged with disorderly conduct and
interfering with a police officer
Travis Ryan Murphy, 23, of Eugene, charged with disorderly conduct
Bradley Lance Sparks, 19, of Springfield, charged with riot, theft and disorderly
conduct
tions and the creation of a Party Pa
trol, a team of officers working
overtime during weekends to bust
parties and write alcohol citations.
Since then, budget restraints
ended the party patrol, and police
scaled back patrols in the Universi
ty area.
“It’s really unfortunate that this is
where we are after having three
successful seasons,” Roberts said
when the riot had ended.
EPD officer Pete Aguilar, who is
assigned to the University area,
said he was uncertain if the riot
will compel police to revise party
enforcement policies. Police
heavily patrolled the neighbor
hoods surrounding the Universi
ty on Saturday in anticipation of
another riot, but the night was rel
atively uneventful.
“This may have just been a fluke,
a set of circumstances that hap
pened at one time,” Aguilar said.
A handful of people at the riot
disagreed and said the melee was a
symptom of frustration with police.
“They just wanted to take over
our party,” Bradley Sparks, a Lane
Community College freshman,
said while his nose ran and eyes
watered from exposure to tear gas.
He was later arrested and charged
with rioting, theft and disorderly
conduct.
At the sidelines of the riot, area
residents watched in disbelief as
their neighborhood transformed
into a battleground,.. . , .
Kate Cody, a University junior
who watched much of the riot from
her friend’s porch, said organizers
of the party in the apartment build
ing notified neighbors of the up
coming gathering.
“I’d heard about this party for a
while,” she said. “Who would of
thought it could turn out like this?”
Daniel Cathey, a 28-year-old
Symantec employee who lives
near the scene of the riot, stood by
parked cars in his driveway with
a broomstick in his hands while
mobs of people roamed the street
and police continued to pour into
the area.
His roommate, Ted Greenlee, a
38-year-old Symantec employee,
also watched the riot from his
driveway and said he was stand
ing outside “protecting (their)
property from idiots.”
Further north on Patterson
Street, Catherine Faber, 38, was sur
prised by the riot while she walked
from her nearby house to visit a
friend at Sacred Heart Medical Cen
ter. She pulled a downed street sign
from the middle of the an intersec
tion to the sidewalk as she walked.
“I think they’re idiots,” she said
while angry people, still coughing
from tear gas exposure, walked
around her. “I think they’ve tem
porarily gotten the idea that
they’re invincible.”
