The van was last seen heading up Caves Hwy. at 5:24 p.m., but attempts to locate the vehicle failed. *It was difficult to determine if yelling and background noises from a 911-call were a disturbance or some type of sports activity.

Redwood Hwy. was yelling and being disorderly at 5:55 p.m. Five people were blocking customers from coming into the store.

Saturday, April 9 Outside the Valley *A man with a sword was trying to gather his belongings from the 24500 block of Redwood Hwy., but he felt threatened by his ex-roommate’s brother who had a baseball bat.

Lister Street at 11:52 a.m. The driver side window had been broken with a rock. *At 12:42 p.m. a shady person on Shadowbrook Drive violated a restraining order. Page A-9 *Two atypical customers ventured into Diggin Livin and stuffed their pockets with rolling papers and a RYOT square (roll your own tobacco leaf plug grinder). The alert cashier confronted the bicycle bandits, and obtained video footage of the merchandise being pocketed. One of the burglars answers to “Beaver” and has an extremely large stretched-out left earlobe. *At 1:38 p.m., there was a trespasser who had cut a hole in a fence and started a fire on private property in the 18200 block of Redwood Hwy. Marcus Allen Yeoman, 35, was charged with second-degree trespass and cited to appear on May 9. *A woman with blond hair may have been grandma-age, but she didn’t act like a grandmother by pulling a knife on a kid at the skate park at Jubilee Park. The boy who phoned 911 then stated that the large knife was in her pocket, but he doesn’t think she would have stabbed him. When law enforcement contacted others at the skate park, they did not see anything like this happen. *Some poor guy on Deer Creek Road found himself in an awkward situation, with scratches on his neck and back to prove it. He and his girlfriend started fighting, and her visiting sister became angry and hit him with a rock while his back was turned. Since the sister is a guest of his girlfriend, he cannot force her to leave. He was advised of his options. (Don’t fight with your girlfriend?) *Occupants of a blue Mini- Cooper were taking photos of a truck and house in the 400 block of Madrona Drive at 3:03 p.m. When asked what they were doing, the driver rolled up her window, shrugged her shoulders and drove away. *There was a possible restraining order violation on Warren Road regarding custody following a relationship break-up. There was no evidence of a crime, however, and the complaint was filed by a third party not affiliated with the mutual restraining orders. *A Taurus PT-709 semi- automatic valued at $400 was stolen from a car on Green Valley Drive either April 6 or 7. The woman suspects that it is the jerk that she is living with who took it, because he had stolen a gun from her last year too. Plus they had a verbal and physical argument that morning. (Which could explain why he took her gun.) *A bald, skinny, younger guy in dirty clothes was spotted at Oregon Discount Gas in a gray 1982 GMC Sierra which had been reported stolen from Home Depot in Klamath Falls. He was last seen headed down Lone Mountain Road at 5:19 p.m. A photo of the thief was given to law enforcement. *Someone on S. Junction Avenue had nothing better to do with their time than to prank call 911 four times just to curse at the call-taker. *At 5:55 p.m., some thin fellow in a dark T-shirt and baseball cap was in a smoking shed in the 24300 block of Redwood Hwy.
