Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, June 8, 2016 Page A-7 Tales from the Rural Patrol of S. Redwood Hwy. at 3:39 p.m. It did not turn out to be a match to the vehicle which was reported stolen earlier that day. *At 4:31 p.m., there was an older Suburban or Bronco being driven by a man who looked to be Native American and who may have been intoxicated. His blue SUV came across the traffic lane in the 500 block of W. River Street, then ran into a ditch and back up from the gully into the roadway. Oregon State Police (OSP) were not in the area to witness this unique piloting technique. (Editor’s note: Factual information for ‘Tales’ 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 30 *A pickup truck was stolen from the parking lot of the Lorna Byrne Middle School in the 100 block of N. Junction Avenue between 1 and 9 a.m. The Chevy S- 10 is blue-gray colored with red pin stripes. There was a possible lead from a posting on the Facebook site “To Catch a Thief.” A report was filed for Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle (UUV). *At 1:16 p.m., a motorcyclist was stopped on Redwood Hwy. at Rockydale Road. He was cited for no operator’s license, no helmet and no insurance. He was also warned for failure to display license plate, and failure to use a headlight when required. *Attempts to locate a criminal were successful in the 200 block of Burch Drive. At 4:28 p.m., Ronald Jedediah Fehlhaber, 31, was arrested for five charges of unlawful use of a firearm, reckless endangering, disorderly conduct and felon in possession of a firearm. Fehlhaber was cited to appear in Multnomah County Circuit Court on a no-bail warrant charging fourth-degree assault. *A vehicle with large orange lights on top was reportedly crossing over the white and yellow lines along Redwood Highway, through Sauers Flat and past Kerbyville Farms at 2:44 p.m. *Jubilee Park was patrolled at 3:02 p.m. *Kaleb J. Bartee, 46, must be walking slower these days. Bartee was arrested and charged for failure to appear on third-degree escape, second-degree disorderly conduct and second-degree criminal trespass. He was detained at the Josephine County Jail at 5:51 p.m. *A car that may have been stolen was located in the 500 block Outside the Valley *Thirty-four calls logged. Tuesday, May 31 *The area near the 300 block of Cascade Drive was patrolled at 11:10 a.m., and apparently everything was fine. *Nothing turned up during a patrol of the Fernwood Drive and Sherier Road area at 11:46 a.m. *Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) were inspected by law enforcement before vehicles were crushed in the 29900 block of Redwood Hwy. at 12:52 p.m. *A U-Haul company (somewhere in Josephine County) was told that one of their clients had been involved in a fatal ATV crash in Grants Pass, and that their rented U-Haul truck was near where the fatality occurred. Assistance is needed in locating the white- colored GMC Sierra with Arizona license plates. None of the law enforcement agencies in Douglas, Josephine or Jackson counties have priors with the subject or the vehicle. The accident allegedly occurred on Thursday or Friday, and the U-Haul customer was said to have died either Friday or Saturday morning from injuries sustained in the crash. *A restraining order was served to a deserving party in the 100 block of Holton Creek Road at 2:10 p.m. *Something happened in the 200 block of Ollis Road at 2:19 p.m., but there was no data provided. *A property owner in the 500 block of Schumacher Street was advised that she was in violation due to people living in a trailer on her property. Personnel from the City Hall of Cave Junction will be posting a notice that the trailer must be removed within 72 hours, or she will be cited. Outside the Valley *Twenty situations. Wednesday, June 1 *A woman was wandering around the Rogue Community College (RCC) Campus in Kerby, then sitting across the street at Kerby Mart at 11:01 a.m. She didn’t seem to be a problem because she was walking well and quickly. *At 1:07 p.m., a dude was walking his dog near milepost 28 on Hwy. 199. Along came a gray- colored Toyota, which stopped, and the male occupant threatened the dog-walker with a gun. *A woman was transported by American Medical Response following a motor vehicle accident at 1:12 p.m. on Redwood Hwy. at Turnagain Drive. (That must be confusing to give directions. Where is the address? Turnagain. Turn where? On Turnagain.) *Driving with temporary tags and no license plates drew attention in the 300 block of S. Redwood Hwy., since the tags expired in 2014. Failing to signal probably didn’t help either. The procrastinator was cited into Cave Junction Municipal Court for driving on a suspended license (DWS), and improper display. Thursday, June 2 *No calls from Illinois Valley today! (Remember when things were too quiet, and you just knew the kids were up to something?) Outside the Valley *Eighteen incidents. KEN ROSE LN / REDWOOD HWY, Small Vehicle Fire The volunteers and staff of the 100 blk HOLTON CREEK RD, Medical Emergency Responded to these recent Emergency calls Outside the Valley *A dozen log listings. Saturday, June 4 *No disturbance was heard from a 911 hang-up call from the 900 block of Reeves Creek Road at 1:20 p.m. Just somebody pushing buttons. *An unhappy camper at Store Gulch Campground was cited for possession of marijuana at 2:59 p.m. Outside the Valley *Nineteen log items Outside the Valley *Twenty-two log entries. WHERE’S THE ALARM? Illinois Valley Fire District Friday, June 3 *A dog was swept up in rushing whitewater in a narrow canyon at the Little Falls Trailhead Campground at 12:54 p.m. The black lab was 20 to30 yards on the other side of the river, laying in a shallow pool. Law enforcement did not have anyone available who was certified for water rescue. A call came through at 1:28 p.m. that the Labrador had been retrieved. *Josephine County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) provided Community Oriented Policing (COP) for the First Community Credit Union at 1:02 p.m. *For the driver of the gray-colored Nissan Sedan with California license plates, heading southbound on Highway 199 at 2:18 p.m. – you are not supposed to pass a school bus with the stop sign out. That’s why it says “stop.” *There was a log for something at 2:47 p.m. at Redwood Hwy. and Draper Valley Road, but the note just says “north.” And whatever it was lasted for twelve minutes. Sunday, June 5 *At 9:29 a.m. a resident in the 400 block of Beebe Drive phoned 911 because her neighbor was shooting firearms. She was understandably concerned because that same neighbor shot her husband two days before, so the ongoing loud shots and explosions were unnerving.

Folks living in that area were concerned for their safety because although the nuisance problem was typical in summers in the past, this was the first time that gun shots became an issue. *Two suspects were apprehended in the 300 block of S. Caves Avenue at 10:10 a.m., and one was detained, although his name was not listed in the logs. Checkbooks from burglary victims on Caves Hwy. and Shadowbrook Drive were in the possession of one of the thieves. The charges against the bad guy included first-degree attempted burglary, strangulation, fourth-degree assault, harassment and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Wait, there’s still more. He was also detained for possession of heroin and first-degree burglary. (Other than that, surely he is a great guy, probably just misunderstood.) *Airport Drive and Seats Dam were patrolled at 10:44 a.m. *The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) notified law enforcement that the title and registration application for a vehicle in the 24500 block of Redwood Hwy. was in review at 11:12 a.m. This investigation resulted in the recovery of a stolen vehicle. *The area near Lone Mountain Road and Redwood Hwy. was patrolled at 11:13 a.m. *JCSO and Jerry’s Towing Company assisted a damsel in distress with a flat tire on Illinois River Road at 12:14 p.m. *Law enforcement personnel were out with a vehicle at the Eight Dollar Bridge river access at 1:56 p.m., but there were no details provided. 2200 blk DICK GEORGE RD, Lift Assist REDWOOD HWY / TURNAGAIN DR, Traffic Accident 7700 blk TAKILMA RD, Outdoor Smoke/Odor 200 blk PAULA LN, Grass Fire 100 blk HOLTON CREEK RD, Medical Emergency 300 blk S KERBY AVE, Medical Emergency 700 blk DEER CREEK RD, Medical Emergency Sunday - 6/5/16 300 blk PINEWOOD WAY, Open Burn-Illegal Material 200 blk ARROWHEAD DR, Medical Emergency 400 blk BROWN RD, Grass Fire 4200 blk LAKESHORE DR, Open Burn-Illegal Material 4800 blk FISH HATCHERY RD, Structure Fire Thursday - 6/2/16 400 blk PENNY LN, Lift Assist 500 blk TERRACE HEIGHTS DR, Medical Emergency WILLIAMS HWY / ESPEY RD, Traffic Accident 400 blk N OLD STAGE RD, Medical Emergency 4300 blk DICK GEORGE RD, Lift Assist VISIT IVFD ONLINE AT ivfire.com or facebook.com/ivfire Southern Oregon Sanitation Inc.
