Monday, March 13
*A chap in the 700 block
of Caves Hwy. had a rude
awakening when he realized
that his green 1996 Toyota
Tacoma pickup truck had been
removed overnight without
his permission. A report was
filed for unauthorized use of a
vehicle and third-degree theft.
*A repo man seized a
vehicle from the 200 block
of Kerby Street, and a soon-
to-be ex-husband blamed his
wife for allowing the removal.
The tall 63-year-old man
wearing a black leather coat
and a cowboy hat headed
towards Hwy. 199 after
causing a disturbance at 9:22
a.m. The ex-wife was advised
of her options regarding a
restraining order (RO) due
to his threatening behavior
toward her.
*On March 12 at 2:30
p.m., a gal was in her back
yard in the 100 block of
Kinnikinnick Drive when she
heard a volley of gun shots.
She yelled that she was in
the backyard, and the shooter
said, “OK,” then fired off
another magazine-worth. Her
husband let loose with his
shot gun, then phoned 911
because he was concerned that
the situation might escalate.
(Dueling bullets.)
*Lurline Lane was OK
at 11:13 a.m.
*A deputy investigated
in the 600 block of Caves
Hwy. at 11:17 a.m.
*Surveillance camera
footage documented a
burglary between 2:35-3
a.m. at the Napa Auto Parts
at 327 S. Redwood Hwy.
The hooligan was recorded
rummaging through a work
station, stealing keys for a
forklift, a Chevy van, and a
Honda Fit. The photogenic
fool was also filmed removing
cash and deposit envelopes,
placing them in a plastic
shopping bag, and exiting
through a roll-up door. A
report was filed for second-
degree burglary, first-degree
theft, and second-degree
criminal mischief.
*Law enforcement
patrolled the 300 block of
Caves Hwy. at 11:51 a.m.
*Nothing was happening
at Jubilee Park at 11:58 a.m.
*The driver of a
Honda Civic was warned for
speeding and a defective left
rear brake light at 12:16 p.m.
at the intersection of E. River
Street and Laurel Road.
*Minutes later at the
WHERE’S
THE ALARM?
The volunteers and staff of the
Illinois Valley Fire District
same location, a motorist in a
white Toyota was warned for
speeding at 12:23 p.m.
*At 12:56 p.m., it was
reported that locks were
damaged on a front door
and storage unit at 311 S.
Redwood Hwy.
*A deputy apprehended
a fugitive at Jubilee Park at
1:58 p.m., and the criminal
was cited to appear at the
Clackamas County Court in
Oregon City April 13.
*Jubilee Park was back
to normal at 2:25 p.m.
*Law enforcement did
not find any homeless people
in the building at 220 S.
Redwood Hwy. at 2:29 p.m.
*At 2:46 p.m.,
everything was still calm at
Jubilee Park.
*A traffic stop at 2:53
p.m. at 24542 Redwood Hwy.
ended with citations issued
to the driver of a blue Ford.
He was cited for driving on a
suspended license and failure
to carry proof of insurance,
then warned for failure to
carry proof of registration and
improper display.
*Josephine County
Sheriff’s Office (JCSO)
captured a criminal at 222
W. Lister Street at 2:58
p.m. Hailey Berger, 22, was
detained at Josephine County
Jail on a no-bail warrant for
parole violation for possession
of meth.
*A fellow in the 1800
block of Laurel Road phoned
911 at 3:22 p.m. to report that
his bicycle had been stolen.
He was not happy when the
dispatcher gave him the non-
emergency number, and stated
that he would find the bike
himself.
*At 3:27 p.m. a German
shepherd fell into water and
was dragged to the other bank
near the Store Gulch Ranger
Station. The canine’s owner
was afraid the swift water
would sweep him away if
he tried to rescue the dog.
Helpful suggestions were
that he find a shallow, narrow
spot so the dog could swim
across, or that he rent a raft
or Tahiti to retrieve the mutt.
Law enforcement did not
assist because animals will
frequently self-rescue in these
situations.
*A middle-aged bicyclist
had been drinking before he
rode his cycle off the side
of the shoulder at 18285
Redwood Hwy. at 3:34 p.m.
He denied injury or need for
medical attention. His bike
and groceries were moved
from the side of the road until
he was steady on his feet.
(His diet must not have been
balanced.)
*Law enforcement
searched for a burglary
suspect in an abandoned
residence at the corner of
Dogwood Lane and Caves
Hwy. at 4:52 p.m.
Outside the Valley
*Twenty-three incidents.
Tuesday, March 14
*A home owner in the
9500 block of Takilma Road
reported issues with neighbors
who repeatedly trespassed and
removed red survey stakes
from Nov. 26, 2016 through
March 11. Survey fees of
$1,400 were paid twice, but
no-trespassing signs were
destroyed. A red Mongoose
mountain bike and an attached
trailer were also stolen.
*Domestic disturbances
occurred in the 200 block of
Cedar Brook Lane at 7:30
p.m. March 13, and again on
March 14. A bully arrived in a
red Dodge Ram, then left in a
woman’s white BMW, along
with the openers to her garage
door and a community gate.
At 3:54 p.m., law enforcement
detained him at Josephine
County Jail for two counts of
restraining order violation.
*Kudos to JCSO for the
arrest of two trouble-makers.
Damian L. Atwood, 28, was in
custody at 11:48 a.m. at 406
S. Redwood Hwy. for second-
degree burglary, first-degree
theft, second-degree criminal
mischief, and possession of
meth. Robert Blase, 32, was
