Wednesday, January 18, 2017 Page A-7 Tales from the Rural Patrol (Editor’s note: Factual information for ‘Patrol’ is provided by official law enforcement agencies. All persons listed are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Charges can be amended or dismissed.) *** Monday, Jan. 9 *A resident of Klamath Falls phoned Josephine County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) at 9:21 a.m. to request a welfare check because she had not heard from her parents for three days. When a deputy arrived in the 1800 block of Crooks Creek Road, her folks were OK and chatting with their daughter. *At 12:14 p.m. a woman in the 300 block of Logan Cut Drive stated that she was receiving threatening phone calls from someone who was staying with her. Her ungrateful guest broke a glass table top and two garage windows with a stick before he walked towards Redwood Hwy. with his girlfriend. The 21-year-old was last seen wearing a brown jacket and black pants, and his girlfriend was carrying a Tinkerbell backpack. The unappreciated hostess was advised of her civil options regarding the tenant status of Peter Pan and his sidekick. *A guy said he had information that his stolen 1957 GMC step-side one-fourth ton truck with California plates was in the 90 block of Raymond Street at 2:42 p.m. A deputy checked that location and could not see that truck, but he did notice a similar model in the 600 block of Sherwood Avenue. There was no paperwork in the glove box or VIN anywhere on the short-bed, model 3100 truck, which had been parked there for approximately nine to 12 months. It was likely not a match. *Jubilee Park was OK during an area check at 3:55 p.m. *Forks State Park was fine at 4:04 p.m. *At MP 21 on Hwy. 199, there was an unoccupied vehicle in the ditch with the lights on at 4:27 p.m. *There was another vehicle crash on Redwood Hwy. at Wild Park Lane at 4:45 p.m. *Another vehicle was towed after blocking the road at MP 22 on Hwy. 199 at 4:46 p.m. *A driver was cautioned to not stop in the middle of Hwy. 199 again, after a motor vehicle accident at 5:02 p.m. at 20303 Redwood Hwy. *The ditch won again, this time at MP 16 on Hwy. 199 at 5:22 p.m. (Slow down, people.) Outside the Valley *Twenty incidents Tuesday, Jan. 10 *A stolen vehicle crashed into a power pole in the 7500 block of Takilma Road at 9:02 a.m. At 4:30 p.m. a message was left for WHERE’S THE ALARM? The volunteers and staff of the Illinois Valley Fire District Responded to these recent Emergency calls Monday 1/9/2017 the registered owner that it had been recovered and towed. *Josephine County Public Works Dept. was informed of high water at 9:54 a.m. at Lakeshore Drive and Deer Creek Road. The situation was getting worse, and signs were needed to warn of the flooding. *A disabled red Toyota was creating a traffic hazard at 12:02 p.m., blocking traffic at Reeves Creek Road and Lakeshore Drive. The registered owner had not yet reported the vehicle as stolen. JCSO rendered assistance as the recovered Toyota was towed. *At 12:39 a wacko was threatening to burn down the Siskiyou Medical Health Center at 25647 Redwood Hwy. The menace yelled that he would come back with swords and cut everyone. He has been permanently discharged and trespassed from the clinic for the safety of staff and patients. *An 86-year-old woman ordered groceries, but the delivery person could not maneuver down her driveway in the 300 block of Garner Road due to snow. Help arrived and brought her food to her house. *There was a traffic stop at Lakeshore Drive and Hwy. 199 at 1:25 p.m. *JCSO checked on a veteran patient in the 7900 block of Takilma Road at 4:19 p.m. He was OK, but there was a lot of water running through his driveway. *A guy had been snow- bound in his home in the 17500 block of Redwood Hwy. for 10 days. The snow from the road to his house was more than a foot deep, so he was unable to get food for his animals and himself. He was frustrated with the conditions, and stated that all the agencies were “worthless” at 3:02 p.m. His home was 50 yards off the highway, so he was going to walk to see if his neighbor would give him a ride. His new best buddies just had their entire driveway plowed, so he no longer needed law enforcement assistance. *Burglary to a residence in the 1900 block of Holland Loop was reported at 3:08 p.m. A late 80’s Bounder motor home was stolen overnight. The RV is beige with orange and gold-colored striping. *A negligent motorist in the 2700 block of Rockydale Road was warned for driving on a suspended license and violation of the basic rules of the road at 3:48 p.m. Outside the Valley *Twenty-one situations. Wednesday, Jan. 11 *JCSO transported a family from Tarter Gulch at 9:12 a.m. One guy was upset that his driveway was not plowed so that they could get out. (It’s called a shovel.) *A white Ford dually pickup truck with tool boxes in the back was in a ditch near Jubilee Park at 9:30 a.m. A witness observed a suspect hit a building in the 100 block of S. Sawyer Avenue just before the truck ran off the road. Surveillance footage was reviewed, and a report was filed for unauthorized use of a vehicle and hit-and-run with property damage. *A deputy gleaned information at Farmer’s Building Supply at 10:10 a.m. *Between 5-8 a.m., a white Mazda coupe was taken from the 10900 block of Caves Hwy. The man who reported the theft was not the registered owner, and he did not know the license plate number. He found the Mazda on his own, and no longer needed assistance from JCSO. *A white Chrysler Sebring was stolen from the 300 block of Schumacher Street, and found later at High Pines Campground in Kerby. Assistance was rendered in recovering and towing the convertible. *A deputy patrolled Lurline Lane and Laurel Road at 11:47 a.m. *A blue Fiesta from Minnesota was parked at the end of a driveway in the 6400 block of Takilma Road at 12:04 p.m. One window was broken during the night of Jan. 10, but nothing was taken. A deputy provided an incident number for insurance purposes. *Three Boys Towing Company was assigned to deal with a jalopy at the gravel pit in the 4700 block of Waldo Road at 12:25 p.m. *Law enforcement investigated in the 300 block of N. Sawyer Avenue at 1:46 p.m. *All things were as they should be in the 100 block of Ollis Road at 1:51 p.m. *The driver of a brown pickup truck with no license plate was pulled over at 1:56 p.m. at Stevenson Street and N. Sawyer Avenue. Travis Wayne Wilson, 25, was detained at Josephine County Jail for local and fugitive warrants. *A deputy made the rounds of the 1300 block of Golf Club Drive at 2:13 p.m. *At 2:48 p.m. a motorist on E. Watkins Street and S. Redwood Hwy. was warned for expired registration and defective equipment because the passenger tail light was not working. *A deputy was given information at 2:57 p.m. in the 300 block of N. Sawyer Avenue. *The driver of a gray vehicle failed to yield to law enforcement while driving near Caves Avenue, Lister Street, E.
