Sunday, Feb. 12
*Protect America did its
part and reported an alarm in
the 100 block of N. Redwood
Hwy. at 9:47 a.m.
*SOS Alarm noticed
numerous hits from motion
detectors on buildings and
sheds in the 400 block of
Caves Hwy. at 10:17 a.m.
A secure chain-link fence
prevented a deputy from
gaining access to check the
buildings.
*There was a
confrontation in the parking
lot at 205 W. Watkins Street
at 11:02 a.m. when a wacko
in a black mini-van pointed a
rifle at a guy in a white Chevy
Suburban. Apparently the
loose cannon and his partner
in crime still had a “beef”
from two years ago with the
Chevy driver, but he does not
want anything done to them,
due to their mental states.
A bystander volunteered to
keep an eye out to identify the
riflemen, and possibly seize
their weapons as they do not
have the mental capacity to
possess them.
*A deputy patrolled the
3200 block of Waldo Road at
11:10 a.m.
*At 11:14 a.m., the
deputy obtained information
at 409 S. Redwood Hwy.
*Michael Massey, 36,
was cited and released for
mischief following a verbal
disturbance at Jubilee Park at
11:16 a.m. Massey reportedly
screamed at a family that
he was going to rape them.
He was highly hostile and
antagonistic towards nearby
residents because they
wouldn’t let him break into
their house and take items. A
stalking order is the next step
if the harassment continues.
(Stay tuned.)
*Canna Guard Security
received a valid cancel
password following an alarm
from the 5000 block of Waldo
Road at 11:27 a.m. There was
a power outage, and when the
electricity returned, the alarm
was activated.
*Josephine County
Sheriff’s Office (JCSO)
stopped three stooges in a
Nissan between Sherier Road
and Fernwood Drive at 11:39
a.m.
*At 12:26 p.m. the driver
of a blue Dodge flatbed truck
was warned for driving while
suspended. He was cited to
appear for unlawful cutting
and transportation of special
forest products. His truck
was buried up to the axles
in mud on a Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) road
near MP 5 on Westside Road,
but AAA would not cover a
tow from a BLM road. There
was no sign saying stolen on
the Dodge, but the registered
owner died last week, so it is

unknown who may have had
permission to use the flatbed.
The brother of the deceased
woman was informed of
the location of the truck for
retrieval.
*A motorist in a white
pickup truck was driving
erratically and speeding on
the shoulder of Hwy. 199 at
MP 31 at 1:06 p.m.
*JCSO assisted Oregon
State Police (OSP) in the 900
block of Caves Hwy. at 2:52
p.m.
*There was an
investigation at Tycer
Crossing from 3:02 until 5:57
p.m.
*A Kawasaki side-by-side
passed inspection by a deputy
in the 2800 block of Reeves
Creek Road at 4:05 p.m.
at 10:29 a.m.
*A deputy checked some
details at Dave’s Outdoor
Power Equipment at 1:25 p.m.
*A contract painter
arrived in the 200 block of
W. Palmer Street at 10:30
a.m. and encountered a 50-ish
woman trespassing in a vacant
home. He stated that there
were several squatters in the
home on Feb. 7 as well. JCSO
has provided extra patrols
for this residence, but the
problem will likely continue
until the house is occupied.
*A statement was
obtained during an
investigation at 3:32 p.m. in
the 17000 block of Redwood
Hwy.
Outside the Valley
*Twenty-two incidents.
Outside the Valley
*Twenty-five situations.
Monday, Feb. 13
*At 10:01 a.m. a fellow
in the 400 block of Queen
of Bronze Road claimed
that a dude on Cowboy Way
“sicced” his large white fluffy
dog on him and his service
dog. Although the big canine
did not bite this time, he did
in October 2016, so the chap
was getting an off-road wheel
chair and a gun for his safety.
He said that his easement
runs through the neighbor’s
marijuana grow, and that the
neighbor threatened to remove
his sign and burn his house
down.

*A curly-haired braniac
was jumping into traffic
near Chapman Creek Road
on Caves Hwy. at 9:11 a.m.
The 55-year-old took off his
clothes, and was only wearing
pants when a car nearly hit
him, leaving a 50-foot skid
mark. (In the road, not his
pants.)
*At 9:51 a.m. a man
reported that his deceased
sister’s home in the 2100
block of Rockydale Road
had been burglarized. There
was no damage to doors or
windows, so it was obvious
to her brother that a key had
been used. The locked garage
had been broken into, with
a screen removed, and a
window forced open. Keys to
Outside the Valley
*Twenty-six items.
Wednesday, Feb. 15
*At 10:16 a.m. a gray-
haired guy wearing a plaid
jacket walked to his gray
sedan, put a firearm in his
pocket, and walked inside
a store at 305 S. Redwood
Hwy. It seemed shady, but he
argued with someone, then
they left.
*There was a silver-
colored Ford 4x4 in a ditch on
Glendon Road near Redwood
Hwy. at 10:49 a.m. A gal told
Brookings police that she was
responsible for the Ford but
she had let someone else drive
it. Her next version was that
she didn’t know the person,
they were just a friend of a
friend. Another tale was that
she picked up a hitchhiker
and let him drive because
she was tired. The more she
talked, the more she continued
to provide alternative facts.
Due to the hesitation and tone
of her responses, there were
suspicions that she may have
been driving and didn’t want
to admit it. The Ford was
towed, and law enforcement
seized her driver’s license.
*An entrepreneur was
organizing a neighborhood
yard sale in the 300 block
of Caves Hwy. at 10:50
a.m. The only problem was
he was selling items stolen
from his landlord and other
tenants. When his landlady
confronted him, he yelled at
her that she needed to give
him 24-hour notice before
entering the property. A
tenant did not want to deal
with him because he could
be very unpredictable and
had threatened her in the
past. The stolen property
will need to be addressed
in civil court. A deputy
warned the unprofessional
salesman that his behavior
was causing public alarm,
and if it continued he would
be arrested for disorderly
conduct.

Winter storms

800 blk S OLD STAGE RD, Medical Emergency
Most of the U.S. is at risk for winter storms, which can cause
dangerous and sometimes life-threatening conditions. Blind-
ing wind-driven snow, extreme cold, icy road conditions,
downed trees and power lines can all wreak havoc on our
daily schedules. Home fires occur more in the winter than in
any other season, and heating equipment is involved in one
of every six reported home fires, and one in every five home
fire deaths.

the home had been given to a
previous caretaker, who was
released from his duties on
Feb. 1. Missing items include
an LG 48” television, men’s
clothing, a trickle charger, and
a glass hooka.
*A vehicle was
repossessed from the 200
block of Shadowbrook Drive
at 11:11 a.m.
*Shuffling and a man
talking quietly was all that
could be heard during a 911-

*Jubilee Park was
peaceful at 3:50 p.m.
*Kids phoned 911 to ask
if anyone wanted to buy some
pot, then hung up at 4:01 p.m.
The call appeared to have
originated from the 23000
block of Redwood Hwy. but
the woman at that address
said there were no children
there, and it was not her that
phoned.
