2 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 2017 OBITUARY MCGUIRE—Robert V. “Bob” McGuire, 82, of Florence, passed away Aug. 7, 2017. At his request, private cre- mational rites were held through Burns’s Riverside Chapel Florence Funeral Home. Florence man sentenced to 10 years for child porn B Y N ED H ICKSON Siuslaw News Florence resident Brian Lee Yoakum, 37, was arrested by Florence Police in May for suspicion of col- lecting child pornography and encouraging child sexual abuse. An investiga- tion was launched in January follow- ing several tips from people familiar with Yoakum who expressed suspi- B ri a n Le e cions that Yoakum had obtained and collected child pornography on his com- puter, according to Lane County Prosecutor Bob Lane. Yoakum had received pro- bation in 2010 on a similar charge after child pornography was found on a laptop that Yoakum had brought in for repairs. He received two years of probation after pleading guilty and was required to reg- ister as a sexual offender as well as attend treatment. Public defender Robert Kaiser, who represented Yoakum on the most recent charges, said that the 37-year- old had attended some of the required treatment program sessions but had stopped going due to the hardship of travel- ing between Florence and Eugene. Kaiser also suggested that a State, county police respond to dual calls in Mapleton Lane County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police and other emergency agen- cies responded to two calls in Mapleton on Thursday, Aug. 10, once to arrest a person on a warrant and the other in response to a suicide by gun on Highway 36. Investigations are ongoing at this point. COURTS Florence Municipal Court July 25 Joshua Michael Brown pleaded guilty to one count of theft and one count of possession of methampheta- mine.

The inves- tigation also turned up a binder full of images of child sexual abuse that had been printed and collected.
