Sunday, Feb. 26
*At 9:28 a.m. the
owner of a business at 110
Deer Creek Road stated that
money was taken from a
secret hiding place that only
her employees knew about.
The cash disappeared at the
same time a hired hand was
given two weeks’ notice. The
boss would not let her worker
leave the premises because
she changed her story several
times and was acting guilty.
She made her getaway in a
U-Haul with some guys who
also may have been involved
in the burglary. A report was
filed after law enforcement
caught up with her in the
parking lot of Ray’s Food
Place.
Outside the Valley
*A dozen situations.
Monday, Feb. 27
*A compassionate em-
ployee at Providence Medical
Center requested a welfare
check on two people living
in the 100 block of Warren
Road at 9:45 a.m. A woman
was recently discharged from
the hospital, and her caretaker
was struggling. The caller
advised that these folks have
no family or friends, and that
if someone doesn’t intervene,
they will lose both. The mat-
ter was referred to Depart-
ment of Senior Services and
logged for information.
*At 10:52 a.m., a guy
in the 24300 block of Red-
wood Hwy. could not get his
truck started. Then a ruffian
threatened to kill him, pulled
out a gun, and busted out the
windshield. The grouch then
punched the guy in the face,
breaking his jaw. After that
the bully threw the truck keys
into a pond. The difficulties
may have stemmed from one
guy dating another man’s
ex-wife.
*Josephine County
Sheriff’s Office (JCSO)
checked on a gate and a few
cars in the Thompson Creek
area at 11:41 a.m. A deputy
located a Honda and a Mazda.
*There was an investi-
gation at Kerby Mart at 12:38
p.m.
*A motorist in a two-
door tan car was driving
recklessly and tailgating at
12:45 p.m. on Redwood Hwy.
at Reeves Creek Road.
*At 5:42 p.m. a wacko
was wailing that he wanted
to die, and he punched a hole
through the wall in the 100
block of Tracy Lane. He was
evicted, but would not leave
his residence with his stock-
pile of knives, a hatchet, an
ax, and a pump-action rifle-
type BB gun. He did eventu-
ally depart peacefully.
Outside the Valley
*Twenty incidents.

1000 blk NAUE WAY, Medical Emergency
100 blk MESA VERDE DR, Open Burn-Illegal Material
Most of the U.S. is at risk for winter storms, which
can cause dangerous and sometimes life-
threatening conditions. Blinding 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.
