The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Thursday that an arrest had been made in an alleged hit-and-run collision that occurred in rural Rogue River on Sunday.

Jason Allan Baker, 40, of Rogue River was arrested Tuesday on felony charges after law enforcement said he made a false stolen vehicle report connected with the alleged hit-and-run incident. Baker was driving an older red Ford Ranger pickup truck when he allegedly struck a woman in the 700 block of Queens Branch Road, the sheriff’s office said in a news release that included a picture of the vehicle.

Sources told the Rogue Valley Times the women is Cindy Vaughn of Rogue River.

Vaughn, who was not identified by the sheriff’s office but is named in court records, was with two other women and two horses, attempting to walk to the property on which the horses were being kept after their horse trailer broke down, the sources said. Vaughn was attempting to gain control of one of the horses when Baker crashed into her, according to the release. The crash also sent two other women into a nearby ditch, citizens told the Times.

According to the sheriff’s office, witnesses said Baker’s vehicle never stopped and fled the scene at a high rate of speed. The two horses spooked and disappeared for an extended period of time, sources told the Times.

Friends of Vaughn said more than 30 neighbors and social media users — who saw reports of the alleged hit-and-run on the Jackson County Scanner Facebook page — responded to help recover the horses. Vaughn was transported to an area hospital with major injuries — including a broken back — but is in stable condition, according to the release and Times interviews. JSCO noted that the horse with Vaughn was not injured.

Baker is lodged in the Jackson County Jail on charges of second-degree felony assault, felony aggravated driving while suspended, felony failure to perform duties of driver to an injured person, reckless driving, recklessly endangering another person and tampering with evidence, records show. Bail has been set at $100,000, with Baker set for arraignment at 1:45 p.m. Friday.

According to the sheriff’s office, witness statements at the scene of the accident and other evidence were connected to Baker’s stolen vehicle report. JCSO and Rogue River police determined the vehicle was not stolen and that Baker initiated a false report, the release said.

Court records show Baker has charges dating back over the past two decades, including multiple criminal counts for driving while suspended and at least one charge of driving under the influence of intoxicants.

Rogue River resident Chelsa Sartain said the entirety of the incident — from the crash and Vaughn’s injuries to the more than two-dozen community members who turned out to help recover the horses — was overwhelming.

Sartain told the Times that Baker is a regular sight on nearby roads. “He speeds all over the roads,” she claimed. “We see him all the time. He was seen peeling out from the Wimer store minutes before the crash.

“Then he went straight home and posted on Facebook that his truck was stolen, four hours before he reported it to police,” Sartain said, citing posts she said she had read.

Vaughn, Sartain noted, has a long recovery ahead. She remained hospitalized Thursday and will require a hospital bed, wheelchair and other changes to her residence to be able to return home to recover.

“She is doing better than she was, and they’re not talking surgery, at least now, but she’s pretty messed up,” Sartain said.

“We’ve been trying to track down a hospital bed and wheelchair for her to be able to come home. She broke her back, her cheek, her pelvis. … She definitely has a very long hard road ahead of her.”

Sartain said she would post updates to Vaughn’s recovery on social media.
