Trucks Village 3225 Kinsrow Avenue, Eugene, OR • 485-7200 Office Hours Monday-Friday 8-5 Saturday 9-1 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.
