Monday, Aug. 22
*Josephine County
Sheriff’s Office (JCSO)
received a lengthy email from
a woman in the 28000 block
of Redwood Hwy. at 10:40
a.m. She detailed issues with
her ex-landlord taking her
mail, harassing her family
and animals, conspiring
with her neighbors, and
snooping around her cabin
with a Gopro camera. She
claimed that the landlord also
filed fraudulent elder abuse
restraining orders, police
reports and a small claims
lawsuit.
*A woman in the
200 block of Reagor Lane
received credit cards issued
in her name and the name
of a stranger in Urbandale,
Iowa. The same situation
occurred three years
ago involving $3,000 in
fraudulent charges. JCSO
provided a case number
so the bank’s security
department can investigate.
*The 911 hang-up call
from the 300 block of Caves
Hwy. at 11:52 a.m. was just a
misdial.
*JCSO assisted at a
fire on Pinewood Way and
Redwood Hwy. at 4:37
p.m. Two structures were
fully involved, with the
fire spreading north to the
wildland.
*Young girls phoned
911 several times from the
1300 block of White School
Road at 5 p.m. The pranksters
were laughing and daring the
dispatcher to do something
about their behavior. When
the dispatcher spoke with
an adult, the kiddos denied
making any calls. (Future
Police Blotter characters?)
*At 5:09 p.m. a
somewhat aggressive blue
heeler (dog, not oxygen-
deprived doctor) was sitting
on a porch, hassling the
neighbor’s cat in a duplex in
the 27000 block of Redwood
Hwy.
Outside the Valley
*Thirty-two calls.

Wednesday, Aug. 24
*Everything was fine
during an investigation in
the 24500 block of Redwood
Hwy. at 11:50 a.m.
*A ganja grower from
South Lake Tahoe, California
decided the grass was greener
in Oregon, so he moved his
farm gear to the 5400 block
of Westside Road to work at
the BBB Ranch. When it was
time for him to leave, a civil
issue stemmed from a dispute
regarding the preliminary
grower’s agreement. If the
dude from California ‘war-
dials’ or ‘friend-shames’ his
previous business partner
again, he will not get his
property back because it will
be sold at the CJ farm auction
to pay for storage fees. An
itemized list includes: Stand
up Trimpro trimmer $1,800;
HydroLogic Small Boy de-
cholorinator $150; Blulab
PH/EC temp combo $325;
Oregon Valley greenhouse
6mm greenhouse poly $750;
and a Sunsystem Blaze
fluorescent light fixture $250.
*A gal in the 300
block of S. Kerby Avenue
advertised a vehicle on
Craigslist for $500. She
received a fraudulent
cashier’s check for $1,980,
but she was clever enough to
cancel the sale. (Next time
try the classified ads in the
I.V. News.)
*A prior tenant vacated
a home in the 100 block
of Mesa Verde Drive a
month ago, but she was not
removing her belongings in a
timely manner. Her landlord
stated that her vehicle was
broken down, and he would
not return her keys until
the jalopy was moved. He
was advised of his options
regarding the tardy tenant.
*JCSO conducted an
investigation in the 100 block
of N. Redwood Hwy. at 2:08
p.m.
*Twenty-two log
entries.

was towing a flatbed with a
