All persons listed are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Charges can be amended or dismissed.) *** Sunday, Aug. 14 *At 9:15 a.m. a guy went to the 100 block of Kerby Street to retrieve his cell phone, which had reportedly been stolen the previous night. He did not wish to wait for a deputy to accompany him to the location. Mission accomplished. *A motorized hang glider was buzzing 200 feet over the tree line above residences in the 200 block of Logan Cut Drive at 10:25 a.m. One woman was concerned for her neighbor, who is a veteran. Josephine County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) left a message at the airport to see if the pilot could possibly change his flight pattern. *JCSO provided assistance of some kind at 118 Caves Hwy. at 10:33 a.m. *The driver of a Focus was not very focused, thereby receiving a warning for failure to observe a traffic control device at 10:40 a.m. *The back door was open on a utility truck parked in the DMV parking lot, and no one was around at 10:53 a.m. A landscaper was forewarned to secure his vehicle. (Guess he doesn’t read the I.V. News Police Blotter.) *A snoopy landlady reported that she believed her tenants stole a white Saab, and that they were hiding it in the 100 block of S. Sawyer Avenue at 2:17 p.m. She was also under the (mistaken) impression that deputies could enforce her recent eviction notice. (So officers, while you’re here?) She was advised of the eviction process and will follow up through the court system. *At 4:59 p.m. trespassers were mostly likely stuck after they bypassed a “moat” that had been created by a backhoe at the Pomeroy Dam on Q Bar X Ranch property. Outside the Valley *Thirteen calls. Monday, Aug. 15 *A silver-colored car was repossessed at 10:22 a.m. from the 23000 block of Redwood Hwy. *The motorist in a red Nissan Sentra at MP 25 on Hwy. 199 at 10:32 a.m. was cited into Josephine County Circuit Court for driving on a suspended license (DWSV). * At 10:53 a.m. Jeremy Whyte was threatening to shoot someone with a shotgun in the 400 block of Aquarius Way. Whyte, 32, was detained at Josephine County Jail at 3 p.m. for domestic menacing and violation of a no-contact order. Outside the Valley *Nineteen incidents. Tuesday, Aug. 16 *A trusting soul loaned a John Deere 310A backhoe worth $15,000 to a chap who owned property in the 100 block of Airport Drive. Much to his surprise, he learned that the property had been sold, and the shyster had flown the coop to Argentina. The equipment may have been sold at an auction between March 1, 2015 and Aug. 8, 2016. *On Aug. 8, a guy in the 3400 block of Crooks Creek Road was served a restraining order. When he moved out, he took a German Shepherd with him. An amended restraining order will need to be filed to determine who will have custody of the canine. *Surveillance video cameras captured images of a destructive dude throwing a wooden pallet through the glass door of a business in the 300 block of S. Redwood Hwy. at 12:31 a.m. The window-shopper looked around the store, but apparently wasn’t in the market for auto parts. A report was filed for second- degree attempted burglary, and second-degree criminal mischief. *JCSO did foot patrol through Jubilee Park at 10:49 a.m. *A dedicated dad was concerned for the safety and welfare of his 10-year- old son who was visiting his mother in the CJ area. The father learned that she had been kicked out of her residence due to drug use, and that they were living out of her dirty white van. He found his boy and brought him home. *At 1:11 p.m. a city code violation occurred in the 300 block of Millie Street. *A driver’s failure to display license plates and failure to carry proof of insurance turned into a citation following a traffic stop in the 200 block of W. Watkins Street at 2:19 p.m. *There were no details provided for a logged call at 2:32 p.m. *Operator error triggered an alarm at 2:36 p.m. at Evergreen Elementary School at 2:36 p.m. *A motorist in a black Honda was pulled over on Redwood Hwy. at Rockydale Road at 4:02 p.m. He was cited for operating a vehicle without driving privileges and warned for improper display. *JCSO checked on the status of an individual in Jubilee Park at 4:18 p.m. *At 4:31 p.m. in the 300 block of Caves Hwy., the operator of a black Nissan Sentra was cited for driving without privileges and warned for an improper turn. Outside the Valley *Seventeen situations. Wednesday, Aug. 17 *At 9:29 a.m. it was reported that someone had passed away in the 100 block of White Oak Drive. *The contact person at 110 Deer Creek Road was not available at 11:59 a.m. *A deputy patrolled the area from Cedar Flat to Deer Creek Road at 1:17 p.m. A motorhome was tagged with a warning at 2:33 p.m. for being at a location off Illinois River Road for more than 14 days. *Chauncey J. McKinney, 20, was detained at Josephine County Jail following an arrest in the 300 block of N. Sawyer Avenue at 2:13 p.m. Warrants included one from Josephine County for second-degree criminal mischief, and another from Oregon State Police (OSP) for charges of failure to appear, eluding police, reckless driving and reckless endangering. An additional charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle was added to the list. *JCSO served an individual with a restraining order (RO) in the 4300 block of Lakeshore Drive at 2:50 p.m. *The RO could not be delivered at 4:36 p.m. in the 37400 block of Redwood Hwy. *The recipient of an RO in the 1600 block of Happy Camp Road was probably not happy at 5 p.m. *A vehicle was pulled over by a deputy at Caves Hwy. and S. Redwood Hwy. at 5:06 p.m. *An employee at the Illinois Valley Safe House Alliance received a call at 5:10 p.m. from a woman who reported that her husband was outside their residence with a baseball bat. The wife claimed it was only a verbal disagreement, but to be on the safe side, JCSO stood guard in the 200 block of S. Caves Avenue while she gathered some items to stay elsewhere. Outside the Valley * A dozen entries. Thursday, Aug. 18 *A tenant who had been evicted from the 28400 block of Redwood Hwy. returned at 6:30 a.m. to retrieve vehicles and property. *Sounds of gunfire or explosions emanated from a big white house near the 300 block of June Drive at 11:52 a.m. A neighbor was very concerned about fire safety, rightly so with three different kinds of weapons and some kind of a cannon being fired in the vicinity.
