Monday, April 11
*The only sound heard from
a 911 call at 10:47 a.m. was the
beeping of a check-stand in the 200
block of W. Watkins Street.
*A gold 280 ZX Datsun with
no license plates was towed from
Dick George Road a few weeks
ago. The status of the Datsun was
unknown as to whether it was stolen
or not.
*A homeowner in the 37400
block of Redwood Hwy. complained
of unexpected company when
trespassers cut the lock and damaged
the gate on undeveloped wooded
property adjacent to her home. A
white truck pulling a single-axle
trailer, followed by a woman driving
a dark car, just ignored the “No
Trespassing” and “Private Property”
signs.
*Illinois Valley Fire District
(IVFD) responded to a possible
structure fire in the 37400 block of
Redwood Hwy. at 11:31 p.m. The
fire was a legally permitted open
burn with legal burning materials.
*Back on Jan. 29, a dim-wit
used his brother’s name to get out
of trouble during a traffic stop. The
charges started out being failure to
carry proof of insurance, operating
without a license and without
required lights. His brilliant plan
backfired - add current charges of
providing false information to a
police officer.
*Kids on S. Old Stage Road
were playing around with the phone,
making prank 911 calls at 12:11 p.m.
and 12:46 p.m. A laughing little boy
said “brother broke his arm” during
one of the calls.
*Information of some kind
was obtained at 1:01 p.m. in the 300
block of Fir Drive, and at 3:46 p.m.
in the 100 block of S. Kerby Avenue.
Outside the Valley
* 20 calls logged.
the tires of his red Mini-Cooper
or Fiat with a black top and black
matte-finish rims. He smoked out a
parking lot and left 200-foot burn-
out marks near the 400-block of S.
Redwood Hwy. at 11:37 a.m.
*At 12:22 p.m. in the 200-
block of S. Redwood Hwy., Cari
Lee Genevera, 28, was detained at
Josephine County Jail on a warrant
charging failure to appear for
unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
*Facts were uncovered at
Diggin Livin at 12:04 p.m. in the
100 block of S. Redwood Hwy.
*A Dudley-Do-Right reported
a garbage can in the middle of the
roadway in front of the museum in
the 24100 block of Redwood Hwy.
at 12:59 p.m. (OK, why didn’t they
just move the can out of the road?
Why phone 911?)
*Kaleb J. Bartee, 45, was
detained on three “do not cite and
release” warrants in Jubilee Park at
2:22 p.m. The warrants were due
to his failure to appear on charges
including disorderly conduct,
second-degree criminal trespass and
third-degree escape.
*An explorer wearing blue
jeans and a camo sweater was lost
in the woods in Selma at 3:28 p.m.
The camo apparently didn’t work,
because she was located in the 1700
block of Draper Valley Road and
given a ride back to Hwy. 199.
*Law enforcement caught up
with that red Mini-Cooper at 4:04
p.m. in the 20000 block of Redwood
Hwy. Trenton Yost, 21, was cited
into circuit court for his reckless
driving.
*An extremely intoxicated
woman drove a dark purple Nissan
SUV into a fence in the parking lot at
Jubilee Park. The belligerent person
was arguing with another parent and
Little League coach at 5:13 p.m. She
was eventually located in a driveway
at 440 S. Junction Avenue, but her
enabling friend stated that she was
the driver, not her inebriated buddy,
so law enforcement officers were
unable to prove that the intoxicated
woman was behind the wheel while
it was moving.
Outside the Valley
*19 situations noted.
Tuesday, April 12
*Community Oriented Policing
Services were provided at the Illinois
Valley High School (IVHS) at 11:14
a.m.
*A young hot-rodder wearing
his hat on backwards was screeching
Wednesday, April 13
*The 911 phone call was just
a pocket dial at high noon from S.
Redwood Hwy.
*Some joker stole a Sony
Playstation 3 and five games from
the 24500 block of Redwood Hwy.
The stolen items were valued at
$399, and the theft occurred between
10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

Loop at Caves Hwy. at 6:33 p.m.

Thursday, April 14
*A slender redhead with a
beard and mustache was layering
stolen clothes under his grey
sweatshirt in a store in the 200 block
of S. Redwood Hwy. at 12:29 p.m.
The manager requested that the local
transient be trespassed from the
property because this is an ongoing
issue.
*Divorce is difficult, but that
is no reason for an estranged wife
to steal a box of DVDs from the
children of her ex in the 24500 block
of Redwood Hwy. The fuming father
was advised that married couples
cannot be prosecuted for stealing
from one another as this is a civil
issue. The persistent dad maintains
that since the children aren’t hers,
then Cruella has stolen the DVDs
from the children, not him.
Outside the Valley
*11 recorded incidents.
Friday, April 15
*More details are needed for
a stolen vehicle signature form
regarding a two-toned, teal green
and grey vehicle that was reported
missing at 3:19 p.m. from the Cave
Junction substation. The form was
filled out incorrectly.
*The intended recipients of
restraining orders were not located
at 5:14 p.m. in the 300 block of

p.m. in the 7900 block of Deer Creek
Road.
*Everything was fine during an
area check at Eight Dollar Mountain
at 6:15 p.m.
*Several people were contacted
by law enforcement at Eight Dollar
Bridge at 7:05 p.m.
*Clueless campers were
warned about their abandoned
campfire at the Josephine Camp
Campground at 7:39 p.m.
Hwy. at 10:47 a.m.
*A drunk was driving a
brownish-red Toyota 4-Runner
with a broken back window from
bar to bar in CJ at 11:11 a.m. He
was yelling about dogs not being
on a leash, but then he locked his
poor terrier-cross pooch in his
truck with the windows up. The
obnoxious ogre was in his 40s, 6
feet tall, 200 pounds, wearing a gray
sweater jacket and a camo jacket.
The belligerent bully was cited into
CJ Municipal Court for improper
display of license plates, failure to
carry proof of insurance and not
signaling for a left turn. After his
citation, he headed back towards the
bar instead of his residence in Selma.
*At 2:23, a citizen flagged
down the cruiser on S. Redwood
Hwy. at E. Lister Street.
*Minutes later at the same
location, the driver of a white GMC
Sierra dually was cited into CJ
Municipal Court for no insurance
and failure to renew registration.
*The 911-call from the 200
block of S. Redwood Hwy. at 3:16
p.m. was probably a welcome relief
for dispatchers. Two little girls were
heard singing and requesting Dilly
bars as their dad placed their order at
the drive-through window.
*A motorist in a Crown
Victoria was advised of the tow
policy and will be appearing in CJ
Municipal Court following a traffic
stop at 3:45 p.m. on S Redwood
Hwy. at E. Lister Street. The charges
are uninsured driving, no operator’s
license and illegal display of plates.
*A tattle-tale on Deer Creek
Road was warned about misuse
of 911, because at 3:58 p.m. she
reported that a guy had a warrant,
which was not accurate.
*The fellow swears it was not
intentional, and he wasn’t stalking
his neighbor at 4:39 p.m. They both
just happened to be in the Dollar
General shopping at the same time.
Per e-Courts, the final order is still
valid.
*Domestic violence was
reported on Redwood Hwy. in front
of the Oregon State Forestry Office
at 5:35 p.m. A shirtless jerk wearing
shorts was grabbing a woman by the
neck and trying to push her into the
street. There were no deputies in the
area.
Outside the Valley
*29 logged listings.
Saturday, April 16
*The 911 call at 10:12 a.m.
from Martin Road was a false alarm.

green 2000 Subaru Legacy. The car
was located on Glendon Road in
Kerby.
*The Forks State Park was
patrolled at 11:02 a.m. and all was
fine.
*At 11:18 a.m. some punk kid
from the 300 block of S. Junction
Avenue phoned 911, made a vulgar
statement and then hung up. He
phoned again alleging that Jubilee
Park was on fire, which it wasn’t,
according to IVFD.

from 12:47 p.m. until 1:12 p.m.

p.m. in the 3000 block of Lakeshore
Drive, but it was beyond available
resources for officers to respond.
*An area on Reeves Creek
Road was being used as a large
dump site, but mail and a license
plate were found in the ruins. An
abandoned RV was still smoldering
and partially on fire.
*At 5:01 p.m. a black
street bike was going 95 m.p.h.
towards Grants Pass. By 5:08 the
motorcyclist was spotted at Helms
Road, and Oregon State Police
(OSP) radar pegged the bike as
doing 126 m.p.h.
*Everything was fine in the 100
block of N. Caves Avenue at 5:57
p.m. – just gathering information.
Same thing at 6:24 p.m. in the 100
block of S. Hussey Avenue.
