Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, May 21, 2014 Page A-7 Tales from the Rural Patrol (Editor’s Note: Factual information for ‘Blotter’ is provided by official law enforcement agencies. All persons listed are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Charges can be amended or dismissed.) *** Monday, May 12 *Some upstanding citizen saw what he called “a male juvenile driving recklessly” in Jubilee Park at 8:15 a.m., and two hours later a deputy contacted the youth, “who was warned regarding his driving behavior.” *At 11:14 a.m. a resident in the 200 block of E. River Street stated that on Friday night, May 9, a thief took his trailer made from the green-and-red bed of a ‘65 Chevy pickup truck. The resident added that a white toolbox is mounted in the bed. *Someone was cited on a parking vio- lation charge in the 100 block of E. River Street. *Still on River Street, except now on the west side, a woman said that she loaned her boyfriend her car last week and now he won’t return it. It could be a case of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. *The death of a deer at Rockydale Road and Enchanted Way apparently was caused when it was struck by a truck from Illinois Val- ley Fire District (IVFD). *“Nuisance dog” and “no dog license in the city limits of CJ” were charged on a citation issued to a man, who was not publicly identi- fied, at Redwood Hwy. and Lister Street. Outside the Valley *Of 13 calls logged, one was about a man who claimed that some dude near the Merlin Landfill was carrying a rifle wrapped in a sweatshirt, and there was a complaint from a Johnson Drive resident about someone egging his house and yelling at him so much that he has to wear ear protection. Tuesday, May 13 *On Pinewood Way a property caretaker held a couple at gunpoint because they were taking down a fence. They fled. *Someone in Kerby said that someone else came to their house looking for a stolen vehicle. One with two flat tires was near her place, but she said that she didn’t know if it was the one the person at the door was seek- ing. *A “stripped-out” Jeep was reported at Illinois River Forks State Park. Later a woman on Airport Drive stated that her Jeep had been stolen. It seemed as though it was the same ve- hicle. *Four days ago, said a woman in Selma, a man left a brand-new Porsche 914 on her prop- erty. He told her it had some problem. Turns out that the problem (not likely the one he was referring to) is that the car was reported stolen in Grants Pass. *Three people and minor injuries were reported in a two-vehicle collision at S. Red- wood Hwy. and E. Watkins Street that caused temporary lane blockage. All the people de- clined medical aid. IVFD and American Medi- cal Response (AMR) rolled to the scene. Outside the Valley *Fifteen calls were listed. Wednesday, May 14 *Shortly before 12:30 p.m. a woman at Jubilee Park wanted an ambulance. She had been checked earlier in the day, but wouldn’t stay in the same place. She ended up being cited for having alcohol in the park, and a man was warned about having a dog at large in the park. The woman “made travel arrangements with AMR.” *JCSO termed as “harassment” a situa- tion described by a woman in the 5000 block of Caves Hwy. She said that around May 6 someone vandalized her vehicle at the location and scratched “Bitch” into the driver’s door. On May 8 she continued, she received a letter signed by “Fawn Journeyhawk” warning her to “sleep lightly and watch your back.” The caller is worried about the safety of her family. *Someone on S. Old Stage Road was warned at 1:47 p.m. about playing music too loudly. *The woman who wanted an ambulance in Jubilee Park was with a man at the Josephine County Bldg. in Downtown CJ, still want- ing an ambulance, as she wasn’t transported earlier due to not being cooperative. She and the man were intoxicated. She was cited on a charge of obstructing the entrance to a county building and misuse of 911. I.V. GUNS & AMMO 541-592-3349 WHERE’S THE ALARM? Outside the Valley *The logs list 13 calls. Thursday, May 15 *A deputy apparently made a friendly visit to Station 1 of IVFD shortly prior to 8 a.m. *Shortly after 8 a.m. a deputy stopped to chat with a man wearing gray shorts, yellow shirt and a blue beanie at S. Redwood Hwy. and Hamilton Lane after he threw a rock at a passing car. The nattily dressed dude was bel- ligerent and denied tossing said rock. It “was possibly intended for the patrol vehicle,” the officer noted. *Two men on S. Old Stage Road ap- peared headed to violence, and a neighbor stated that one said he was going to kill some- one. It turned out to be an eviction attempt. No one was killed. *Folks on Pine Cone Drive related that their son had again run away from home. He had been charged with possession of meth three weeks earlier, and was supposed to stay home under house arrest until his court date. *On N. Caves Avenue a woman wanted a guarantee that if she goes “on track” at a detox center that she wouldn’t be kicked out the next day. She was advised of her options. *It seems that a man who broke up with a woman on Airport Drive texted that he was going to commit suicide. A deputy and AMR were headed to the man’s address, but had to respond instead to a rollover motor vehicle ac- cident on Redwood Hwy. in Kerby. Not much later it was found that the former boyfriend was OK and not a danger to himself. *Following a rollover crash at Redwood Hwy. and Kerby Mainline the driver declined medical attention. OSP was notified and re- sponded with JCSO. It was noted that a util- ity pole was involved, but that the lines were secure. *At a CJ business a woman with tattoos and a dog phoned 911 and said that she was going to kill herself. Subsequently she was warned about misuse of 911 and taken to her daughter’s house. *An unruly student was reported at Lorna Byrne Middle School, but apparently a need for law enforcement was not necessary and the situation was termed “Code 4” (no further help needed). Outside the Valley *Another 13 calls were received with one being fairly major. As reported by JCSO, pa- trol officers responded to Hidden Valley High School due to a report that a former student was there with a knife. A current student said that the boy “intended to use the knife to harm someone.” School staff initiated a lockdown even after the youth left; deputies located the suspect and arrested him. JCSO said that he “has been lodged through the Juvenile Justice program on a Class C felony charge of posses- sion of a dangerous weapon in a public build- ing.” Friday, May 16 *There was a complaint from a Down- town Cave Junction business that the night be- fore a truly obnoxious and probably demented person “dumped a bag of dead cats at the es- tablishment.” Animal Control was notified. *In CJ a deputy met with a man who said that he can’t find his child and that he last saw him three days ago. For some reason the father said that “he doesn’t believe his son is staying in the bathroom at Jubilee Park.” *An unconscious transient was reported at E. Watkins Street and S. Caves Avenue “in the street and on the sidewalk.” He had a beer can. Real helpful people honked their car horns at him and others kicked him, “but he wasn’t moving.” The poor fellow was gone at the ar- rival of a deputy, who was told that the guy got on his bike and rode away. (Who wouldn’t with all that noise and the kicking too). *A bit later a deputy said that in Jubilee Park he might have seen the man in the above incident. *Two men were warned about loitering around the Josephine County Bldg. in CJ. *Following a call that a father with four children in O’Brien had pointed “a real gun” at himself the night before, the Dept. of Hu- man Services stated that it was not available to respond for about a week. *In the 25000 block of Redwood Hwy. a man “with erratic behavior” was observed. He agreed to be taken to a hospital. Outside the Valley *Sixteen calls were received on a wide range of complaints.
