A Eugene man was victimized twice Tuesday, according to Eugene police — first by having his vehicle stolen, and then by getting struck by it.

The victim's Toyota 4x4 pickup truck had been reported stolen to Eugene police earlier Tuesday.

But about 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, the 35-year-old victim spotted the truck near West 11th Avenue and Lawrence Street, police said. So he followed the vehicle to Lincoln Street, where it stopped.

The victim got out of the vehicle he was driving with a small baseball bat to confront the man driving his stolen pickup truck, police said.

After a verbal dispute, however, the suspect jumped back into the pickup truck, put it into reverse and crashed into a parked Toyota Camry as he dragged the victim with him, police said.

The victim sustained minor injuries, and the suspect then "recklessly" fled, eventually crashing the pickup truck in a backyard on Broadview Street and fleeing on foot, police said.

Eugene police arrived on scene and found the suspect, a 29-year-old Veneta man, on the bike path. He allegedly put his hands in his pockets and claimed to have a gun, asking officers to shoot him. Police said he then began to flee, but once the officer threatened to use a Taser on him, the man surrendered.

He was arrested on suspicion of unlawful use of a motor vehicle, two counts of hit and run, two counts of criminal mischief, interfering with a police officer, reckless driving, reckless endangering, fourth-degree assault and driving while suspended. He was booked into the Lane County Jail. Formal charges have not yet been filed, and the newspaper is withholding his name until that time.
