In a startling incident that underscores the dangers of impaired driving, a DUII driver crashed into Lock & Key Adventurer’s Guild in Lincoln City, causing significant damage to the property. The event unfolded after Lincoln City Police Officers were called to Chinook Winds Casino due to a dispute, only to be alerted to a related crash nearby.
On Sunday, April 7, 2024, at around 2:00 AM, Lincoln City Police were initially called to address a physical altercation at Chinook Winds Casino. Shortly after, they were notified of a red pickup truck that had collided with the Lock & Key Adventurer’s Guild on NE Highway 101, then fleeing the scene. The vehicle, showing front-end damage, was located near NE 31st St. and NE Holmes Rd. The driver, identified as 27-year-old Shailin Moses, and her passenger, 24-year-old Mary Sanders, were found intoxicated and were arrested.
Moses faced charges of Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants (DUII), Reckless Driving, Failure to Perform the Duties of a Driver when Property is Damaged, and Child Neglect in the Second Degree. Sanders was also arrested for Child Neglect in the Second Degree. Both were lodged in Lincoln County Jail.
This incident highlights multiple Oregon legal issues including the serious repercussions of DUII and the responsibilities drivers hold towards public and private property. Additionally, it brings to light the severe consequences of child neglect, a serious offense when guardians fail to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children under their care.
Those involved in similar incidents might face significant legal challenges, including DUII charges or claims for negligence. Moreover, property owners affected by such incidents could seek claims under premises liability for the damages incurred.
