SALEM, Ore. -- On June 7, 2026, officers arrested Jeffrey Boyer, 64, of Salem, following a domestic 
disturbance investigation at 1985 Oxford Street SE. Boyer was wanted for a prior incident involving 
strangulation that had been reported just hours earlier.

At approximately 6:24 a.m., officers responded to the residence and contacted Boyer, taking him into 
custody without incident. During the investigation, safety concerns were noted regarding several firearms at 
the location.

While officers investigated, multiple un-serialized rifles, short-barreled rifles, and an un-serialized suppressor
were located.

Boyer was lodged at Marion County Correctional Facility including Domestic Strangulation and multiple 
firearms related charges including Unlawful Manufacture of a Firearm.

The investigation is ongoing, and further inquiries should be directed to the Marion County District Attorney's 
Office.
