Arrest Made in Assault Case: Eugene Police Crack the Case with Help from Springfield Officers
In a recent development, Eugene Police Department (EPD) has successfully made an arrest in a case that dates back to last year, with valuable assistance from officers of the Springfield Police Department. This breakthrough has led to the apprehension of Zeke Richard Schmidt, a 48-year-old individual who now faces serious charges of first-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon. The incident in question occurred in June 2023, when authorities responded to a distress call on East 2nd Avenue and Mill Street.
According to EPD officials, the victim, a 46-year-old man, was discovered outside his RV with injuries sustained from being struck by an object. Prompt medical attention was provided, and he was swiftly transported to a local hospital for treatment. At the time, the perpetrator had managed to evade capture, despite an extensive search conducted by detectives and K9 units.
However, the relentless efforts of law enforcement did not go in vain. Schmidt was eventually identified as the prime suspect in this case, albeit after a significant passage of time. It was not until the early morning hours of February 10th that Eugene police successfully located him. A Springfield police officer spotted Schmidt while he was walking along the intersecting roads of Pheasant Boulevard and Oakdale Avenue. Without hesitation, the officer contacted the Eugene police, promptly leading to the arrest of the suspect.
First-Degree Assault: A Severe Measure 11 Offense
Upon further investigation, it was revealed that first-degree assault is a Measure 11 offense, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of seven-and-a-half years if convicted. This highlights the gravity of the charges faced by Zeke Richard Schmidt. The EPD and Springfield Police Department have efficiently collaborated to ensure that justice is served in this case, providing a sense of closure to the victim and their loved ones.
The successful resolution of this investigation showcases the dedication and professionalism of our law enforcement agencies, who tirelessly work day and night to ensure the safety and well-being of our community.
