Walter Carlson, who went missing around noon on Nov. 25, has been found.

According to a Nov. 26 press release from the EPD, “He was found in a locked closet at the Southtowne facility. He is alive and healthy.”

An extensive search was conducted by the EPD and citizens until 3 a.m. According to the press release, “There were many people who searched.”

It felt as though all of Eugene was lined up along 14th Avenue on Saturday when a large plume of smoke from the Campus Twins apartment building attracted the attention of citizens and emergency responders alike.

The apartment’s residents have been displaced without assurance of a place to live. Von Klein Property Management, the company that manages the complex, paid for two nights at the Campus Inn for 21 tenants without somewhere to stay.

“[Von Klein] said that they will only pay for one more night, and they want to help,” resident Haley Hash said.

But the rental company isn’t obligated to do much more, Hash said. However, Von Klein is exploring availability in other units it manages and in campus residence halls as a solution, according to assistant property manager Lacey Epley-Watson.

“We’re still helping them as much as we can. All those (alternative units) are different prices and locations so we’re going to have to work out something with the other properties,” she said.

Epley-Watson is meeting with tenants Monday to see how Von Klein can help. She also said many of the residents do not have renters insurance, complicating replacing valuables or finding a new apartment.

According to Grace Bronchella, a receptionist at the Campus Inn, two of the 21 residents who had a room have extended their stay with their own money.

Residents were let into the Campus Twins building at around 11 a.m. on Sunday to pick up any necessary possessions.

Although the fire seems to have been contained to one apartment, much of the rest of the building has smoke damage.

“The ceilings are black and the walls are black. We can’t live there,” resident Lucas Thompson said.

Many of the residents are still reeling from the event.

“It’s just now starting to sink in. It’s confusing and inconvenient,” Hash said.

“This couldn’t have happened at a worse time,” Thompson said Saturday shortly after the building had been evacuated. “I mean it’s bad that your apartment burns down, but it’s, like, almost finals week and there’s a whole lot of crap that did not need to happen right now.”

The fire started around 4 p.m. in apartment 2A. Within minutes, several emergency response units were on the scene and had blocked off Alder and Hilyard streets.

Apartment resident John Queant was the first to discover the fire. He kicked down the door to the apartment and saw the fire in the corner.

“I saw the fire and it looked like a little almost like campfire in the corner of the room,” Queant said. “It was right on the wall.”

Von Klein officials have confirmed the fire at the Campus Twins apartments Saturday afternoon was an electrical fire started by an overloaded outlet.

“The fire started in one of the apartments due to a mini fridge. The outlet was overwhelmed,” said Lacey Epley-Watson, Von Klein assistant property manager.

The resulting damaged is estimated to cost between $800,000 and $1 million to the building and it’s contents, according to The Register-Guard.

At approximately 4 p.m., a fire broke out in apartment 2A at the apartment complex, located at 735 E. 14th Ave. between Hilyard and Alder streets. Patterson was closed between 13th and 15th avenues for approximately 25 minutes.

Around 6 p.m., most emergency response had left the scene. Von Klein Property Management paid for two nights at the Campus Inn for residents without somewhere to stay.

The EPD has arrested two suspects in connection with an armed home invasion in the 700 block of 17th Ave.

Demetrius Earl Hillman and Conor Thurston Williams were tracked by the EPD with a tracking app installed on a stolen cellphone, according to a Nov. 24 press release.

Suspects were observed by police driving a Dodge Stratus, which they abandoned when the vehicle drove on the EmX bus lane and became stuck.

An EPD K-9 team found both suspects near Garden Avenue. Hillman resisted and fought with a police dog before being taken into custody. He was admitted to a hospital shortly after.

According to the release, Williams was charged with first-degree robbery, interfering with police, unlawful use of a weapon and menacing, while charges for Hillman are pending as of 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 24.

Some students are experiencing holds on their registration due to failure to complete the mandatory AlcoholEDU program.

Holds will be lifted up to three days after completing the program.

According to Jennifer Summers, director of substance abuse prevention and student success, although the program has had the highest completion rate in the three years of the UO adopting the program, there are still students who did not complete it.

“The goal is to reduce the negative effects of alcohol abuse and misuse. This year 95 percent of (required) students completed AlcoholEDU,” Summers said.

The program is required to be completed by all new students, freshman or transfers, under age 21.

Students are told that if they do not complete the program they will receive a hold, although in 2011, the first year for AlcoholEDU at UO, there were no such ramifications.

The registrar’s office is directing all questions and concerns to the AlcoholEDU webpage.

Oregon’s population increase is on par with a moderate economic climate, according to the initial estimates from a study by Portland State University’s Population Research Center (PRC).

According to the release, “average annual population growth of the 2000s was 41,000; during the 1980s, which were economically more challenging times, the average annual increase was around 21,000, and in the more prosperous times of the 1990s, it was around 58,000 per year.”

Thomas Matthew Jonas was arrested by the UOPD on Nov. 3 after being accused of sexually harassing three UO students. He has been charged with harassment and second-degree trespass.

From the UOPD’s press release:

“Three women reported to UOPD that a man matching Jonas’s description physically harassed them at the university’s Knight Library on Oct. 1, 24 and 31. The women reported that the man claimed to be a massage or sports medicine student from Portland, and then touched their feet in a disturbing and sexual way. In the latter two cases, the women said that he initially ignored their demands for him to stop touching them, and that he appeared to be aroused during the encounters.”

The UOPD believes Jonas may have been involved in similar incidents and anyone with any information can contact the UOPD at 541-346-2919.
