At 6:35 p . m . , on December 29 , an officer was dispatched to 1500 Coburg Road to check the welfare of a man , later identified as Christopher James Koehn , age 39 , of Eugene . Koehn is reported to have asked a driver for a ride and when the driver declined , kicked the vehicle . Additionally , another call came in regarding a man threatening to fight and shoot people at Ta Ra Rin , at 1580 Coburg Road . He was reported to have started focusing on a family in the restaurant with small children and then aggressed towards them . No weapons had been observed . The officer was flagged down by the employees .
When the officer attempted to stop Koehn , the man refused to take his hands out of his pockets , closed the gap between himself and the officer , and refused commands to get on the ground . Due to the earlier threats to shoot , the officer did not know if Koehn was armed . Koehn refused the officer’s commands and stepped toward him , lowering his hands . The officer deployed his taser , which didn’t have an effect , then took Koehn to the ground . Koehn resisted the officer’s efforts , but the officer was able to get control of him . Other arrived officers assisted in taking Koehn into custody . He was lodged at Lane County Jail for Menacing , Resisting Arrest , and Open Container .
