Subject had a stolen handgun and Meth when he was arrested
Eugene, OR - Combined efforts of the U.S. Marshals Service,
Lane County Parole & Probation (LCP&P), the Eugene Police Department
(EPD), and the Springfield Police Department led to the arrest of Edward
Collicott Thursday afternoon in Springfield, Oregon. Collicott was wanted by
LCP&P on a violation of parole absconder warrant. Collicott was released
from the Oregon Department of Corrections on 9/2/2015 after serving a sentence
for (1) felon in possession of a firearm, (2) eluding police, and (3) theft.
Collicott failed to report to LCP&P upon his release from prison.
LCP&P, EPD, and the U.S. Marshals began working together
to locate Collicott who is known to law enforcement to carry firearms and
resist arrest. Thursday morning, U.S. Marshals initiated surveillance at
multiple locations in Springfield and obtained information that led U.S.
Marshals to the 5700 block of Main Street in Springfield. U.S. Marshals later
spotted a man who resembled Collicott drive into the area and walk into a bar.
Upon confirming the man was Collicott, U.S. Marshals confronted Collicott and
placed him under arrest on his outstanding warrant.
During the arrest, U.S. Marshals located a handgun tucked in
Collicott’s waistband and two folding knives and a baggie of meth in
Collicott’s pockets. Collicott’s handgun was later determined to be stolen. SPD
booked Collicott into the Lane County Jail on his outstanding parole warrant as
well as on new charges for (1) carrying a concealed firearm, (2) two counts of
felon in possession of a weapon, (3) possession of methamphetamine, and (4)
theft by receiving. Additionally, Collicott was booked on an outstanding SPD
warrant for driving while license suspended or revoked.
