Eugene Police resumed arrests for drug possession after Measure 110 decriminalization, citing increased crime.
The Eugene Police Department in Oregon has resumed issuing citations and making arrests for drug possession as of September 1, following the implementation of Measure 110, which previously decriminalized small amounts of drugs. The department reports an increase in open drug use and crime since the measure's passage. Until Lane County's deflection program starts on October 1, individuals arrested for hard drug possession will be required to undergo court-mandated treatment.
