Eugene woman pleaded guilty to felony gun possession, sentenced to 16 months

An Eugene woman pleaded guilty to felony gun possession and a judge imposed a 16-month prison sentence on Feb. 19, 2026. The plea and sentence resolved charges that grew out of an extended investigation by the Eugene Police Department’s Street Crimes Unit into alleged fentanyl distribution.

Eugene Police Department investigators handled the extended Street Crimes Unit probe that led to the weapons charge. Prosecutors identified the gun possession count as part of a broader enforcement effort tied to alleged fentanyl distribution within the city, and the guilty plea narrowed the case to the felony weapons offense for sentencing purposes.

The 16-month sentence was handed down in Lane County court on Feb. 19, 2026. Court proceedings on that date addressed the woman’s admission of guilt to felony gun possession; the judge set the term that will govern the defendant’s confinement and potential supervision following release.

Local law enforcement has increasingly used Street Crimes Unit investigations to pursue a mix of narcotics and weapons offenses, and this case illustrates that pattern in Eugene. The investigation that produced the gun charge was described by authorities as extended in scope, ultimately resulting in the felony plea rather than separate convictions on drug distribution counts.

With the guilty plea and 16-month sentence entered on Feb. 19, 2026, the case moves from investigative work to a penal outcome that will be reflected in Lane County’s criminal docket and in public safety reporting for Eugene. The Street Crimes Unit’s role in connecting alleged fentanyl activity to a felony gun possession prosecution will remain part of the record for prosecutors and police as they continue similar investigations.
