CCSO: On March 6, 2025, around 10:50 PM, Sgt. Boswell was driving east on Southwest Blvd near W Lockhart Ave in Coos Bay when he spotted a white Chevrolet Blazer speeding west. The vehicle, well over the 30 MPH limit, swerved to avoid a guardrail. Sgt. Boswell flipped on his emergency lights and turned to pursue. The Blazer sped up, ignoring the lights, and crossed the center line near Minnesota Ave before pulling into the Englewood Market parking lot. Sgt. Boswell approached the driver, Matthew Daniel Sharbono (44), noting bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and the smell of alcohol. Matthew was evasive and fidgety during the stop. Deputy Starr arrived as backup and spotted Matthew trying to hide a handgun. With help from a Coos Bay PD officer, Matthew was arrested for unlawful possession of a firearm. He admitted to drinking at the Blue Moon bar earlier that night. Sgt. Boswell took Matthew to Coos County Jail ⛓️. When asked to cooperate with a DUII investigation and provide a breath sample, Matthew refused. Sgt. Boswell obtained a search warrant for a blood sample, which was executed at the hospital. Matthew was then returned to jail where he was booked and released.
