DPS
continued from page 1
As a result of the accident, Saylor
has placed the involved officer —
who she said has no record of previ
ous disciplinary action in his three
years with the department — on ad
ministrative leave, paid unless she un
covers evidence of wrongdoing on
the officer's part. She said that this is
the standard action when a motor ve
hicle accident occurs between an of
ficer and a community member.
Saylor estimated that the investiga
tion to 'evaluate how reasonable the
officer's actions were" will take no
longer than two weeks.
"It's a very serious matter with us that
an employee ended up having contact,
or having an accident with a community
member" she said, adding that whenev
er it happens, DPS always conducts an
investigation to determine fault
If Saylor's investigation shows the of
ficer intentionally hit the biker or gross
ly violated DPS policy, it could result in
dismissal. She said the only time an of
ficer would be allowed to use their ve
hicle to hit a sub ject is if it is to "provide
protection for themselves."
The original 911 call to EPD came in
at 3:59 a m. from DPS, reporting that
there was a bicycle accident Glenn Pot
ter, a public information officer with
the Eugene Fire Department said a fire
engine was sent to check on the sub
ject. Fire department personnel
checked him, but Saylor said the man
refused transportation to the hospital.
According to police records, a "bi
cyclist ran into a DPS vehicle," but no
officers responded.
At 4:07 a m. a second 911 call
came through requesting police as
sistance. The police responded with
two units, EPD Public Information
Specialist Kerry Delf said. After offi
cers arrived, the man was prohibit
ed from returning to campus.
Saylor said she plans to rescind the
trespassing order until she can con
sult with the officer to determine
whether there was any basis for ban
ning the subject from campus.
Senior multimedia design major
Chris Birke, who was on his way
home, said he witnessed the incident.
Birke, noting that it was extremely
dark at the time said he was about 25
feet away, on a walkway between Co
lumbia and Pacific halls. He said he
saw the vehicle make a sharp right turn
and slam into the suspect throwing
him off the bike and into rocks in a
nearby flower bed. Birke estimated the
vehicle was traveling 10-15 mph.
"He just gets smacked by a DPS
truck,' Birke said. 'It sounded like a car
door slamming. He flew about two or
three feet and landed in the rocks.
There's blood on his face The woman is
handcuffing him; he was really dazed."
Birke said the subject had blood
streaming from his nose and a bruise
on his face. Birke added that he was
n't sure whether the officer intended
to hit the man, whom Birke said ap
peared to be in his early 20s.
"Honestly, I think it was an acci
dent," he said. "But (DPS) set the
stage for an accident."
Officers didn't notice Birke until
sometime after the collision, at which
point he said he was detained, ques
tioned and released. Birke said he was
told by an officer at the scene there
was a second subject involved.
When Birke went to the DPS office
later that morning to "make a report,"
he said he was again questioned. Birke
said he was told by an officer, believed
to be Brian Frances, that the second
subject returned to the scene and was
arrested for theft.
When asked about a second sub
ject, Saylor said, "It's all stuff that's
under investigation" and that she
couldn't comment.
The DPS media log confirmed
only that officers were investigating a
single suspicious subject at the time
of the collision.
Saylor said the last time such a col
lision occurred was in tire 1980s,
when a bicyclist rode into the back of
a parked DPS vehicle on East 13th Av
enue in front of Johnson Hall.
