Officers responded at 6:10 p.m. to the area of 2001 N.E. F St. behind Wal-Mart regarding a suspicious device found on the street. “The device looked like an explosive,” said GPDPS, “and was described as two cylindri- cal objects held together with electrical tape, and having what appeared to be a fuse.” Officers blocked N.E.

Meth house raided on Old Stage Road Heavily armed lawmen battered down the front door to a Cave Junction house used as a methamphetamine lab and served a search war- rant Wednesday, April 13. Gregory Wayne Sam- pley, 52, was arrested at 321 S. Old Stage Road, said Jo- sephine Interagency Narcotics Team (JOINT). Sampley was charged under two warrants charging failure to appear (FTA) on a charge of second-degree possession of a controlled substance; and FTA on charges of being a felon in possession of a weapon. Officers still are search- ing for William A. Sampley, 57, of the same address. The residence, said JOINT, which is not owned by the Sampleys, has been identified as a metham- phetamine manufacturing site. As such, occupancy is prohibited until certified for it by the Oregon Dept. of Health Services, JOINT reported. During the search war- rant service, detectives found volatile precursor chemicals used to make meth when combined with pseudoephedrine. In addi- tion, said JOINT, these GP home invasion reported Two armed men, one with short orange hair, are sought in connection with a home invasion incident in rural Grants Pass, said Det. Sgt. Ken Selig of Josephine County Sheriff’s Office. The incident on Leonard Road was reported at 5 a.m. Sunday, April 17. When deputies arrived, the occupants had fled, and lawmen found evidence of ransacking, a violent struggle including gunfire, and injury. The suspects, said Selig, had demanded drugs and money. The occupants, whose names are being kept confi- dential, suffered minimal injuries, he said. No vehicle was seen. One suspect is described as a white male, 5-9 to 6-0, with short orange hair, wearing all black clothing. The other suspect is de- scribed as an Hispanic male, 5-6 to 5-8, with a stocky build and wearing all red clothing. chemicals produce phosphine gas, “which is extremely hazardous and which can kill within min- utes when breathed.” JOINT added that the chemical compounds are extremely flammable and have been known to cause extremely hot fires. Detectives also found evidence of past manufac- turing of meth, and sales of it. They found hand-written recipes for producing meth, and a small quantity of proc- essed meth, JOINT said. Investigation is continu- ing, according to Det. Sgt. Ken Selig. Remember that nobody will ever get ahead of you as long as he is kicking you in the seat of the pants.
