On 5 April 2020 at approximately 0545 hours local time, the Eugene Police and Fire Departments responded to reports of multiple moving trucks on fire at a storage center.

While in a vehicle, the male suspect lit and threw a large “mortar style” pyrotechnic device at the woman, who ran for cover while the device functioned. Sparks from the detonation landed near the trucks, where another man was secretly siphoning gas. The sparks ignited some of the gas and set four of the trucks and the gas thief on fire.

The gas thief, who was seen with his pants and sleeves on fire, was not found.
