K-9 Nix Tracks Down Wanted Man

On Tuesday, November 18, 2025, the Lincoln City Police Department was made aware of a male in Lincoln City with active warrants for his arrest, including a felony weapons offense. LCPD Officers located the male, 32-year-old Lincoln City resident Selvin Fajardo Landa, driving near SW Harbor Ave and SW Bard Rd.

Officers tried to stop Fajardo Landa, but he attempted to escape by driving away from the officers at a high rate of speed. Fajardo Landa eventually stopped his car and fled on foot into the Agnes Creek Open Space. K9 Nix and her police handler pursued Fajardo Landa on foot until he surrendered. Fajardo Landa was arrested and lodged at the Lincoln County Jail on his warrants, as well as additional charges of Reckless Driving, Reckless Endangering, and two counts of Fleeing or Attempting to Elude Police.

No one involved was injured. Lincoln City police would like to express our gratitude to the citizens of Lincoln City for their ongoing support of our K9 Program. Theyhave experienced many peaceful surrenders based on the presence of our K9 partners, and are pleased to support our city and neighboring agencies with their hard work.
