Sunday, Oct. 9
*All was fine at Jubilee Park at
11:10 a.m.
*The door was open at the Massage
Therapy building in the 300 block of Caves
Hwy. at 11:37 a.m., but an employee reas-
sured the deputy that everything was calm
and relaxed.
*Forks State Park was serene at
11:42 a.m.
*Josephine County Sheriff’s Office
(JCSO) assisted Oregon State Police (OSP)
with a man who was threatening hunters
with a handgun at 11:55 a.m. The show-
down at Soldier Creek and Briggs Creek,
at the end of Illinois River Road, ended
peacefully by 1:41 p.m.
*A woman lost her cell phone at a
craft festival on Aug. 8 in the 18200 block
of Redwood Hwy. When she called her
number, a man answered and claimed he
bought the phone at Walmart, and down-
loaded an app to text for free. It just hap-
pened to be her cell phone number that he
was using. They agreed to meet at 3 p.m.
at Walmart, but he surprisingly enough
did not appear. The cell phone company
was notified, and service to the cell phone
was discontinued. (No more text for free,
rollover minutes do not apply.)
*At 12:29 p.m., a 1990 silver-col-
ored Toyota 4Runner was reported stolen
from the1600 block of Thompson Creek
Road. Numerous items were also missing
from a fifth-wheel parked nearby. Bureau
of Land Management had possible suspect
information, and a report was filed for
unauthorized use of a vehicle.
*JCSO pulled over a vehicle at N.
Sawyer Avenue and Stevenson Street at
12:30 p.m. The motorist was cited to CJ
Municipal Court for driving while sus-
pended and uninsured, as well as failure to
obey a traffic device.
*At 2:01 p.m. a deputy cleared a
vehicle parked four miles past the swinging
bridge at the end of Illinois River Road on
the McCaleb Boy Scout Reservation.
*Squatters were rousted from
the 25900 block of Redwood Hwy. at
2:20 p.m. They were given 24 hours to
vacate, and all property left behind would
be seized. Carrie Lynn Thom, 45, was
detained at Josephine County Jail on a
warrant for possession of meth. Luke
Landcaster Combs, 36, was cited in lieu
of being detained. His brush with the law
involved a fugitive warrant out of Grants
Pass Department of Public Safety.

*Nothing was out of line at Jubilee
Park at 5:35 p.m.

ing order was not available at 4:41 p.m. in

or Jeep on Cottage Park Drive at 5:14
because he could hear gunfire. They were
shooting a potato gun.

delivered at 3:31 p.m. in the 300 block of

*A gal in the 100 block of Lamont
Way has dealt with a neighbor harassing
her for years, but the level of aggravation
increased when the guy banged on her
window at 4 a.m. She will obtain a stalking
order because she thinks he has a mental
illness which is causing him to act errati-
cally.
Outside the Valley
*Two dozen situations.
Wednesday, Oct. 12
*Sounds of a machine were heard
during a 911 call from the 24000 block of
Redwood Hwy. at 9:21 a.m. A father stated

daughter vacuuming.

Thursday, Oct. 13
*JCSO wasn’t mething around with
a couple of speed freaks on Thompson
Creek Road at 10 a.m. John Hergenrether,
40, had a bag of meth and an unused
needle in his pocket, and admitted to us-
ing two days before. He was detained at
Josephine County Jail on a parole detainer
for possession of meth. Aliya Horton, 33,
was cited into federal court for possession
of meth.
*A deputy conducted an investiga-
tion in the 7100 block of Rockydale Road
at 11:24 a.m.
*It sounded like the man who
phoned 911 at 1:59 p.m. was yelling that
his house was on fire. The fire depart-
ment was dispatched just in case, and sure
enough, there was a structure fire in the
1400 block of Arrowhead Drive.
*At 2:46 p.m., a large dark-colored
SUV with California plates pulled out of
Jubilee Park at a high rate of speed, then
drove past Lorna Byrne Middle School.
Unfortunately, there was no patrol in the
area at that time.
*A smaller red car was parked di-
agonally in the middle of the road between
Takilma and Beaver Meadow Road at 4:20
p.m. The steering column, ignition, stereo
and other components were all missing, so
Jerry’s Tow carted the hunk of steel away.
Outside the Valley
*Seven incidents.
Friday, Oct. 14
*Three gals were walking down
Old Stage Road at 10:44 a.m. The tallest,
who was wearing a skirt and a skimpy
top, was reportedly waving a pistol around
and arguing and fighting with the others.
A citizen had concerns due to her gun, and
because there is a lot of criminal activity at
the residence where the chicks went.
*There was a domestic violence
incident reported in the 200 block of Millie
Street at 11:55 a.m. When the guy left to
go for a walk, they locked the door behind
him. He was last seen sporting a black shirt
with white skulls and camo pants. Appar-
ently he did hit the woman, but she did
not need an ambulance. She decided that
she did not want to provide the jerk’s full
name or date of birth, so the incident was
claimed to be unfounded as a crime.
*A manager in the 24500 block
of Redwood Hwy. phoned 911 regard-
ing a disorderly dude with a black dog at
3:36 p.m. The bully was wearing a plaid
shirt and shorts, and he kept getting in
people’s faces and trying to cause fights.
The manager was trying to keep everyone
away from the hot-head, and stated that if
the situation escalated, he had a taser and
would not hesitate to use it.
Outside the Valley
*Twenty-one listings.
Saturday, Oct. 15
*Folks in the 7200 block of Rocky-
dale Road reported a trespasser banging
on an outbuilding at their property at 8:35
a.m. Apparently some gal had dated their
son for a few days, until a month ago when
she pulled a knife on him. The parents
believe that she has been stalking him. The
lulu was not being violent, but she refused
to leave and started making threats at 9:20
a.m. OSP approached her at the end of
their driveway, where she was trying to
get her vehicle started. The parents were
not aware that their son had invited her
back. She had been staying at his house for
two days, but she parked in the neighbor’s
driveway. She packed her belongings and
was advised not to return.
*A 55-year-old man in the 2300
block of Crooks Creek Road complained
of abdominal pain before he died at 8:48
p.m.
*At 9:02 a.m. a 51-year-old man
died in the 24500 block of Redwood Hwy.
*The granddaughter of a resident in
the 200 block of Ollis Road was driving
25-30 mph on her way to visit her grandma
at 2:33 p.m. Someone was highly upset to
see the black Kia being driven so reckless-
ly through the park. This was not an actual
trespass, more of a driving complaint.
Outside the Valley
*Fifteen items.
