Page 13 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, October 3, 2007 Stabbing death heads various incidents in city of GP A stabbing death, a bank holdup, and a case of multiple assaults and criminal mischief have kept officers of the Grants Pass Dept. of Pub- lic Safety (GPDPS) busy recently. Described as a tran- sient, the body of Wayne Alex Brueggeman, 25, was found behind the main post office on Mon- day morning, Sept. 24. An autopsy determined that he died of multiple stab wounds. GPDPS officers, with the help of Josephine County Sheriff’s Office and Oregon State Police, arrested a suspect on Thursday, Sept. 27. He is identified as Bridge Street resident Donovan David Dawson, 21. Charged with murder and fourth-degree assault, Dawson is in county jail. On Saturday, Sept. 29, GPDPS officers re- sponded at 2:35 p.m. to Wells Fargo Bank on Sixth Street. The suspect demanded cash from a teller while threatening with an undisclosed weapon, said GPDPS. He left with cash. He is described as a white male adult 45 to 50 years old, weighing around 180 pounds. He has gray hair. On Monday, Sept. 24, officers and American Medical Response went to 210 Rogue River Ave. following a report of as- sault. Subsequently, Allen Douglas Von Nevin Jr., 28, was charged with sec- ond-degree assault, and jailed. The victim was iden- tified as Jeffrey Dickerson, 40. He suf- fered head trauma, while the suspect suffered a broken hand, said GPDPS. Officers on Sunday, Sept. 23, arrested Kristo- pher S. Johnson, 41. He was charged with two counts of second-degree burglary, first-degree theft, and second-degree criminal trespass. The suspect was found at a tire store on Union Avenue after a burglar alarm sounded. Other similar crimes might be solved with his arrest, officers said. Four victims were reported on Sept. 18, and officers are seeking the suspect vehicle in the cases of assault and criminal mischief. The cases involve two men in a pickup truck, who in one instance threw an AA battery at a couple and their baby. The 1-year-old infant suf- fered a bruise with swell- ing behind his left ear. The geniuses in the pickup also threw items at three adults, causing minor injuries. And they shattered a rear window on a vehicle owned by one victim, and caused a bicyclist to crash.
