Winston Police Arrest 19-Year-Old in Connection With Alleged Drive-By Shooting
A 19-year-old Wilbur man has been arrested following a Winston Police investigation into an alleged drive-by shooting reported in January. Officers executed search warrants, seized a firearm, and lodged the suspect in the Douglas County Jail on multiple charges.
WINSTON, Ore. — Winston police have arrested a 19-year-old Douglas County man following an investigation into an alleged drive-by shooting reported last month in Winston.
According to the Winston Police Department, officers responded to reports of shots fired in the 330 block of Southeast Darrell Street on January 17. The incident prompted an investigation that ultimately identified Trevor Bradley Villarreal, 19, of Wilbur, as a suspect.
Police said investigators executed search warrants on January 25 involving Villarreal’s vehicle and cellphone. During the search, officers seized a firearm and took Villarreal into custody.
Villarreal was arrested and transported to the Douglas County Jail, where he was lodged on multiple charges. Court records indicate he is facing counts that include unlawful use of a weapon and second-degree criminal mischief.
In addition to the charges related to the January incident, Villarreal is also accused of providing false information to a peace officer. That charge stems from an unrelated outstanding warrant dating back to September 2024, according to Douglas County Circuit Court records.
The case remains under investigation. Winston police were assisted during the investigation by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Douglas County Interagency Narcotics Team.
Anyone with additional information related to the incident is encouraged to contact the Winston Police Department.
