Deputies with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office have made an arrest in connection with a crash that claimed the lives of three victims on August 16th.

Lieutenant Brad O’Dell said on Thursday, detectives arrested 21-year old Roseburg resident Uriah James Carleton in connection with the deaths. O’Dell said an investigation led detectives to believe that Carleton was intoxicated at the time of the crash which killed Myrtle Creek residents Janeva Hodgson, age 20, and her brother 18-year old Caleb Hodgson, along with 16-year old Kiya Speckman of Riddle. That wreck happened in the 18000 block of Cow Creek Road near Riddle.

Carleton was taken into custody without incident. He was charged with three counts of manslaughter in the second-degree, for driving under the influence of intoxicants and for a probation violation. Carleton was detained without bail.

O’Dell said detectives have continued investigating the incident since it occurred a month ago. Anyone with information can call DCSO at 440-4458.
