Logan Kitzhaber, 19, son of former Gov. John Kitzhaber, was arrested Wednesday afternoon and booked at the Multnomah County Jail.

Jail records show Kitzhaber is being held on $150,000 bail on charges of DUII, reckless driving, criminal mischief and two counts each of third-degree assault, fourth-degree assault and recklessly endangering another person.

Court records show the charges stem from a July rollover crash involving Kitzhaber. He had side-swiped a motor home as he was pulling onto U.S. 101 near Devils Lake Road in Lincoln County, police said at the time.

He told a paramedic at the time that he had drank a beer before getting in his car to drive to Lincoln City. He was flown by medical helicopter to Oregon Health and Science University where Oregon State Police troopers collected his blood and urine for toxicology tests.

Court records show Kitzhaber also told authorities that he smoked marijuana the night before the crash.

Toxicology results were completed in September, but the Lincoln County District Attorney's office declined to release the findings, citing a the pending investigation. Officials at the Lincoln County DA's office did not return requests for comment.

The occupants of the motor home hit by Kitzhaber — Port Angeles, Wash., residents Stanley Lyckman, 67, and Martha Lyckman, 63 — were taken to the hospital and released. Court records show they have not filed civil charges.
