Monday, Jan. 30
*Who knows if he was in-
toxicated or high, but a wacko
was screaming and cursing
at himself in the bathroom at
Jubilee Park at 9:28 a.m.
*Extra patrol was requested
for vacant property in the 300
block of S. Kerby Avenue,
due to problems with tres-
passers and would-be camp-
ers on Nov. 16-18, 2016.
Although the residence was
cleared at 3:50 p.m., there had
been people there, and a back
door was unsecured.
*Jubilee Park was peaceful
at 3:28 p.m.
*A deputy investigated the
400 block of S. Redwood
Hwy. at 3:37 p.m.
*A gal in her 40s was talk-
ing to herself and jumping out
into traffic in the 100 block
of S. Hussey Avenue at 3:47
p.m. She was decked out in
a black jacket and knee-high
rubber boots. There was no
evidence of a crime.
*Trespassers on Golf Club
Drive were given a second
notice, and advised to pack
up and move within 24 hours.
They had quite a few items in
their camp in the wooded area
behind the Dollar General at
4:54 p.m.
*Law enforcement checked
the wooded area near a stor-
age facility in the 25000
block of Redwood Hwy. at

Tuesday, Jan. 31
*A not-too-bright chick
wearing black boots, blue
leggings and a black shirt was
exhibiting shocking behavior
by tampering with the power
box at the pharmacy at 333 S.
Redwood Hwy. at 9:15 a.m.
She was sporting a hoody
complete with ears, and deco-
rated with animal characters.
*An elderly woman phoned
law enforcement at 9:51 a.m.,
requesting their support to
motivate her grandson to
move out from the 300 block
of Borica Drive. 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. She did not return
his phone calls, so he hired a
locksmith.

block of N. Sawyer Avenue
was warned of driving status
at 2:44 p.m.
*The driver of a gold-col-
ored Suburban had a gun
in his pocket before he was

p.m. in the 300 block of
S. Redwood Hwy. He was
detained at Josephine County
Jail on warrants, felon in pos-
session of a weapon, unlawful
possession of a weapon, and

3:47 p.m. at Forks State Park
when a broad with a blonde
wig walked up and punched a
gal in a dark-colored car.
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. It appeared to have
been rolled, and the ignition
was punched.

Hwy. at Pinewood Way was
warned for failure to carry
current proof of insurance
and for a defective tail light at

*Jubilee Park was patrolled
at 3:10 p.m.

residence in the 300 block
of N. Sawyer Avenue at 3:28

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. Old Stage Road at 5:04
p.m.
Outside the Valley
*Thirty-two incidents.
Friday, Feb. 3
*Josephine County Sher-
iff’s Office provided Com-
munity Oriented Policing at
Evergreen Elementary School
at 8:59 a.m.

near Takilma Road and Dick
George Road at 12:37 p.m.

patrolled the 4000 block of
