She stated she overreacted, had taken her meds and everything was fine. * There was no apparent rea- son for the alarm at IV Build- ing Supply just before 11 p.m. * A 26 year-old man only had $6, but pumped $42 worth of fuel at the CJ 76 Station & Car Wash. He was given a ride to his house to get his check- book, but then opted to leave his vehicle at the gas station and pay for the gas the next day. He was warned he would be charged with theft if he re- trieved his truck before paying for the gas, and the employee on duty that night was conve- niently due back on shift in the morning. Saturday, March 26 * Back-up was called for a 40 year-old man with back pain who was crawling around his house on S. Old Stage Road. The man was highly intoxi- cated and very uncooperative, as was a woman who later ar- rived on scene. * Wayne Page, 58, from Ari- zona, was advised of the or- dinance regarding camping in Jubilee Park. * Ongoing civil issues with other tenants in the 100 block of Norman Road made it dif- ficult for a woman to retrieve her personal belongings. It didn’t make it any easier when the tenants then blocked the exit with their vehicles, pre- venting her from leaving. * Day use fees at the south side of Lake Selmac were being en- forced at 7:30 p.m. * There was a chase with a red or orange dirt bike with no tail- light traveling at 70 mph from Draper Valley Road to Squaw Mountain, then towards Illi- nois River Road. The bike got away… this time. Sunday, March 27 * Terry James McCarthy, 25, and Timothy Ray Holder, 29, drove a Toyota pickup truck into the mountains off Deer Creek to check out their gold mine at around 2 or 3 p.m., but had not returned as of mid- night.

The man was described as being around 45 years old, 5’2” tall, with a large tattoo on his upper arm that says “Puerto Rican Pride.” There were no warrant hits on the man. * A driver on Redwood Hwy. heading towards Selma said that someone threw a snowball at his 1998 Nissan Frontier, breaking the windshield and rear view mirror. The evidence, though, melted at the scene. * Paul Cleveland Cooper, 43, was transported to the Jose- phine County Jail for two war- rants for failure to comply with terms of probation involving meth and unlawful possession of a firearm. * A protective grandmother on Dick George Road phoned law enforcement when her pregnant granddaughter’s boyfriend was rough housing. Grandma also stepped in front of her granddaughter’s car so the boyfriend wouldn’t take it. Never mess with a Grannie or her babies! * Two months ago, someone named Jeremy cut down a tree on property in the 8800 block of Deer Creek Road, but the tree that was supposed to have been cut was on the neighbor’s property. Saw one tree, you saw them all. * Matthew Albert Rosenberry, 30, was arrested on a warrant for second-degree assault af- ter an altercation in the 8500 block of Deer Creek Road. * Possible suspect informa- tion was given to a county dis- patcher regarding a chainsaw stolen from the 17000 block of Redwood Hwy. The saw, an orange Husqvarna model 257 with a 24 inch blade, was taken during a party thrown while a son’s parents were out of town. Tuesday, March 29 * The man who reported hear- ing a muffled gun shot near Shadowbrook Drive after midnight said something just “doesn’t feel right” about the sound he heard, especially af- ter hearing raised voices an hour earlier. * Several drivers were cited for failing to signal to turn and/or failing to observe a traf- fic control device (a.k.a. stop sign) at W. Lister Street and S. Hussey Ave. Other drivers were warned for speeding in the same area. * An abandoned vehicle was parked along Finch Road and a man was concerned that the rusty red pickup truck with bags in the bed might have a dead or injured person in it. The suspicious vehicle was gone when deputies arrived. * A motorcyclist nearly hit a horse in the middle of Reeves Creek Road. Apparently the blue hay bale rope wrapped around the horse wasn’t suffi- cient to keep it tied down. * Vandals destroyed the park kiosk and a handicap park- ing sign, and stole two picnic tables and two benches from the hiking and equestrian trail at 3000 Westside Road. Esti- mated damages total approxi- mately $1,500. * The horse was back in the middle of Reeves Creek again, but this time the owner was located. Raymond John Beair- sto, 53, was uncooperative and argumentative when he was warned for failure to care for an animal and failure to main- tain the pen that the animal is kept in. There was an electric fence on the site that may not have been working properly. * Two vehicles were doing wheelies on vacant lots on East Fork Circle and a neighbor re- ported a “convention” of rac- ing vehicles at that location. * A man on Caves Hwy. called 911 four times wanting the number to the sheriff’s office, then called back wanting the phone number for Hospice. Buddy, dial 411, not 911. Wednesday, March 30 * A truck driver requested a welfare check on his wife because they speak on the phone every night and there was no answer, so he was concerned she may have been injured while out walking the dogs on BLM land. Wifey was fine, and quickly con- tacted her worried husband. Out-of-Compliance Sex Offenders The following out-of-compliance sex offenders were unable to be located at their registered addresses.

Watkins St., CJ him to not be back early for a good night’s sleep” so they called the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office. The phone company attempted to ping the phone, but the device was powered off. New snow on the roadway was covering tracks from the vehicle, and the PA didn’t work to call the sub- jects. Finally at 3:42 a.m. the two men were located, dropped off at their hotel and given the number of Fairgrounds Tow- ing so they could retrieve their vehicle from the wet ground near their mine. * A man in the 700 block of Caves Hwy phoned 911 be- cause he needed wood and said the paramedics would come and help him. It turned out that the night before the man had locked himself out of his house. When the med- ics assisted him, they told him to come to the fire station if something like that happened again, so he figured wood de- livery was just part of their services rendered. * This time the alarm at I.V. Building Supply was caused by an animal in the plywood building.
