EUGENE(AP) — Oregon State Police say a Springfield man arrested for attempted murder after allegedly shooting at Lane County sheriff’s deputies didn’t appear in court and is sought.

Neither Nathan Miles Dix, 31, nor his girlfriend, sought on lesser charges, has been seen since Dec. 24.

Dix was arrested Nov. 17 after being indicted for attempted murder and weapons charges. He was freed on bail Dec. 23 and had a Dec. 29 court date.

Police said Dix fired at two deputies who were called regarding a suicidal man armed with a shotgun.

The deputies returned fire, wounding Dix.

Dix was last seen Dec. 24 with Annie Jo Welch, also 31.

Police found a car registered to Welch south of Yachats on Dec. 30.

Wow, this is not suprising!! Why was this guy even given a bail after committing such horrible crimes - attempting to murder two law enforcement officers. Wow!!

I bet when he is finally located, it won't be pretty. It's obvious - trying to kill two people - he is capable of doing just about anything.

Pictures of people that are missing, or wanted would be a help. Since a lot of people "escape" to the coast it would help if we knew what the persons look like, and maybe be recognized.

Appears to me that Lane County is sounding like Coos County! Come on now, this guy actually shot at deputies and was indicted for attempted murder and they actually set bail for him!! How stupid is that? Did they really for one minute think this guy was going to show for court? Right now he and his gal pal are soaking up the sun in Cabo!!
