UPDATE:
an Alert Library security guard, who had been provided hardcopy photos earlier in the day, spotted Benjamin Jaramillo Hernandez, age 69, in the café area of the Eugene Library. Downtown officers descended upon
the café and took Hernandez into
custody without incident. He was wanted in Marion County for Larceny, and is
being charged with Intimidation in the Second Degree, Criminal Mischief in the Second
Degree, and two counts of Criminal Trespass in the Second Degree. EPD
extends its thanks to the Library's security staff, local media, and the public who had eyes on this. We are grateful for those who help us look for outstanding suspects.
