*On June 25 at 7:23 p.m.
someone in Paradise, California
sent an email stating that a 24-year-
old was believed to be missing from
Illinois Valley because they had
not heard from her in three days.
When law enforcement went to the
28100 block of Redwood Hwy., her
grandfather said he thought she was
safe, just out and about, and that she
was involved with drugs. Gramps
did not know the so-called family
member from Paradise.

was warned for failure to maintain
lane and impeding the flow of

*A Range Rover, a fifth-wheel
trailer, and another vehicle parked
on Pomeroy View Drive at 12:03
p.m. are associated with a developer

the end of Fernwood Drive,
looping around to Sherier Road and
Rockydale Road at 12:48 p.m.

neighbor to drive her to the store
at 1:10 p.m. A menace who lives

threatened her and her family. He
was driving recklessly in a small
rust-colored pickup truck, and he
told her he would return to get some
of his belongings that he stored on
her property.

of Dick George Road are not
happy with new residents who are
dumping huge stockpiles of trash,
debris and vehicles in various
states of disrepair. The problem
escalated between June 6 and June
21. Squatters on the property were
evicted from another location
because of the squalor. Attempts to
discuss the problem with the tenants
have been met with direct hostility,
weapon firing, and the display of
arms. (Not the kind attached to
hands.)
*On June 14 between 4:41
and 11:59 p.m., a customer went
through the drive-through at Dairy
Queen on S. Redwood Hwy. The
security camera showed that the

grandson and his buddies.

truck was cited to CJ Municipal
Court for no insurance and
misdemeanor driving while

vehicle recovery system was
activated in an attempt to locate the
hijacked Toyota.
*An alert cashier in the 25600
block of Redwood Hwy. witnessed
a shoplifting incident on June 28

others who actually paid for their
purchases like normal folks.
*The 600 block of E. River

charges, but she will be pursuing
a restraining order against the
malicious brat.

Friday, July 1
*The guest in room 224 in
the 400 block of S. Redwood Hwy.

strangers pounded on the locked
door at 10:25 a.m. (Housekeeping
crew perhaps?)
* The left rear bumper was
cracked and the tail light was
broken on a VW Jetta Sportswagon
at 10:54 a.m. The woman driver
claimed that there was no
possibility that damage could have
happened while she was driving,
so it must have occurred while it
was parked in front of the U.S. Post
Office in Selma. Damages totaled
$908.
*An anti-MJ auntie in the
3700 block of Takilma Road is
unhappy because her nephew is
growing up to 20 marijuana plants.
(Oh please, it’s Takilma.) When she

will be obtaining a restraining order
against him to resolve the issue.

violated by a trespasser in the
300 block of Caves Avenue at

arrived, the intruder jumped out
of a window and ran. The alleged
violator drives a 2011 Toyota
Camry, which she isn’t supposed to
do either.
*At 12:20 p.m., law
enforcement officers went to the
Briggs Creek Trailhead to deliver a
restraining order.
*Two large dogs cornered a
cat in the 300 block of Schumacher
Street on June 26 between 11:30

that live in the 100 block of Sawyer
Avenue.
*Grayback Campground Road
was patrolled at 1:44 p.m.
*On June 28 and 29, a rabble-
rouser in the 27800 block of
Redwood Hwy. was raising a ruckus
and threatening a neighbor’s dog
for no good reason. When advised
of the situation the first night, the
landlord said to just ignore her,
she probably wouldn’t remember
it in the morning. The verbal abuse
started up again the next night, with
the instigator saying that people
disappear because that is how they
do things around here. That went
for the little dog too.
*A lady in the 200 block of
Shadowbrook Drive thought that
her Toyota Camry was stolen, but
she found it at 1:28 p.m.
*At 1:35 p.m., a man needed
someone to come to his house in the
300 block of S. Redwood Hwy., but
the bad guy was gone by the time
law enforcement arrived.
*Laura Thompson was
contacted at the Little Falls
Campground in the Eight Dollar
Road area at 2:21 p.m. Her vehicle
was searched, based upon a canine
hit. She was cited and released on a
warrant to appear at the Josephine

Pass. Her charges include three
counts of possession of marijuana,
trash issues and her dog was off the
leash.

detained at Josephine County
Jail on a no-bail warrant, charged

vehicle, second-degree theft, and

Murphy was seized at 3:21 p.m. in
the 200 block of W. Lister Street.
*A frightened damsel phoned
from the 100 block of Elwood Lane
at 3:35 p.m. because she heard
gunfire. She didn’t know where the
shot came from or who shot, but it
was very close and very loud and
she was scared.
*Former fugitive Luke
Sawyer, 45, was detained following
his arrest in the 200 block of W.
Lister Street at 4:17 p.m.
