She will appear before CJ Municipal Court for driving with a suspended license, and to Josephine County Circuit Courts on warrants to appear. *Neighbors yelled to each other to phone for law enforcement in the 24000 block of Redwood Hwy. at 5 p.m. The trespasser had traipsed away by the time help arrived. debit card are still missing. *A van driver backed out of a parking space at Speedy Mart without looking at 3:29 p.m. She behaved oddly before leaving the scene of the accident. *Two fugitives were arrested on warrants and detained in the Josephine County Jail following an investigation in the 300 block of Pinewood Way.
