She claimed that he moved her from Cali- fornia last February, and he was taking advantage of her. He left in a white SUV. *At 10:11 a.m. a mom reported that she was driv- ing on Holland Loop when a guy in a large black truck shot out her windshield. He was wearing a black leather jacket and gloves, and his truck had damage to the front left bumper. She was OK, but having a panic attack because her baby was in the car with her at the time. *Three canines are in the doghouse in the 5000 block of Thompson Creek Road. At 11:52 a.m. a red pit-bull, a boxer-Swiss mountain dog, and a smaller black dog were WHERE’S THE ALARM? The volunteers and staff of the Illinois Valley Fire District Responded to these recent Emergency calls terrorizing a guy walking his puppy. Other neighbors also complained of the aggres- sive nature of the pit-bull, so the matter was referred to Josephine County Animal Control. *It was reported that be- tween Jan. 30-31, a trespasser set up camp 50 feet east of the parking lot at Wild River Pizza in the 200 block of N. Redwood Hwy. *When a home care person left her job in the 27000 block of Redwood Hwy. Jan. 26, she failed to return her employer’s household and ve- hicle keys.

Outside the Valley *Thirty situations. Wednesday, Feb. 1 *The noise pollution in the 9300 block of Takilma Road has escalated from loud bass music. The sounds of an ore rock tumbler and the screech- ing of a corrugated steel gate are grating on the nerves of a neighbor. Numerous com- plaints have reportedly been filed the past two years, to no avail. Law enforcement ad- vised it was beyond available resources. *At 2:07 p.m. a vehicle was recovered at 18281 Redwood Hwy.

Thursday, Feb. 2 *A legally-separated couple from Westside Road had an altercation at 11:32 a.m. The husband was recently con- ditionally released from jail, with an order for no contact with his wife. He and their adult children left in a red 1997 Ford F-250 with a blue tarp covering his belongings. The wife just bought the truck in her name only, so there were no license plates, just a temporary tag in the back. The husband broke a window, used a knife on the door, then destroyed tires on the truck. He was not indicted on charg- es of fourth-degree domestic assault because someone did not appear for the Grand Jury. He was released and agreed to get the truck running again, and Jerry’s Tow Company re- inflated the tires. The prob- lem with the truck was a civil issue, and the wife was cited to the Circuit Court in Grants Pass on her warrants. *Folks in Cave Junction received a fraudulent phone call, supposedly from a legal carrier for the county who said that legal action was pending. A message was recorded on their answering machine with requirements and an 800-number. *An elderly guy wearing a black long-sleeved shirt was in a black Toyota 4-Runner in the drive-through at Dairy Queen at 2:45 p.m. He had gray hair, beard and mustache and was wearing glasses. He backed into an employee’s vehicle, then threatened to run over someone who tried to keep him until law enforce- ment arrived. When the man- ager and employee confronted him, he stated that he did not want the police contacted because he would end up going back to jail for 45 days due to a prior DUII arrest. He offered to pay for the dam- age he caused, but then he drove away. Employees took pictures of the geezer and his vehicle. A report was filed for failure to leave name at scene of accident. *A 911 call was received at 3:53 p.m. from the 1100 block of N. Old Stage Road. When the dispatcher asked for the caller’s name, she apologized, said it was her friend that called, and hung up the phone. The deputy found an empty lot at the location of the call. *A child could be heard saying “Mommy” during a 911 call from the 200 block of N.
