Tuesday, April 4
*A green Honda CRV was
stolen overnight from the Red Garter
parking lot, but the owner located his
vehicle in the 600 block of Frederick
Court at 9:36 a.m. The tires, wheels,
and a laptop were missing, and older
tires had been placed on the Honda.
The unarmed owner blocked the
car in, while three schmucks left
the scene, saying they were going
to retrieve the missing items. A gal
on the scene was upset when the
Honda owner wrote down her license
plate number. She probably wasn’t
too thrilled with her cohorts who
never returned, so she consented to a
search of the residence. He recovered
his CRV, and a report was filed for
unauthorized use of a motor vehicle
(UUMV), first-degree theft, and
second-degree criminal mischief.
*An unauthorized individual
was seen sneaking out of the beer
cave and south door at Shop Smart
Food Warehouse at 3:15 p.m.
April 3. Employees stopped him,
retrieved two six-packs of beer, and
photographed the intoxicated fellow.
A report was filed for third-degree
theft.
*At 11:12 a.m., a husband
spotted his wife’s stolen green
Toyota pickup truck at Napa Auto
Parts, then again at a business in the
200 block of N. Old Stage Road.
The truck sported new bumpers and
Washington license plates, but he just
knew it was his wife’s truck, due to a
distinctive scratch near the back end
of the truck. The driver told him that
it wasn’t his Toyota, but he requested
that law enforcement check the VIN
anyway. The deputy advised that this
indeed was not the stolen vehicle.
(Oops.)
*The front license plate was
seized from an Isuzu in the 900 block
of S. Old Stage Road at 12:33 p.m.
There will be further investigation.
*There was a disturbance in
the 4800 block of Caves Hwy. at
1:12 p.m. because a guy was trying
to repossess a greenhouse that he
built, but never received payment.
He hooked a trailer onto his vehicle,
but he was having a difficult time
removing the greenhouse, because
it was built into the ground. A
deputy advised of their options in
this civil matter, and the builder was
trespassed from the property.
*A deputy was unable to
contact the intended recipient of an
RO at 1:50 p.m. in the 4500 block of
Dick George Road.
*There was a 911 hang-up call
at 2:31 p.m. from the 500 block of
Schumacher Street.
*For the past year, there has
been suspicious activity noted in the
600 block of Schumacher Street. It
was reported that there were people
coming and going day and night,
fighting, and passing money and
drugs through the rear window of
the house. Large dogs run amok,
and nearby residents requested help
with the situation at 3:28 p.m. Notes
were faxed to Rogue Area Drug
Enforcement.
*A yellow 1975 Nissan pickup
truck with a white camper shell
was swiped from the 300 block
of Stevenson Street during early
morning hours. A report was signed
for UUMV at 4:46 p.m.
*Law enforcement investigated
in the 100 block of Dogwood Lane at
5:12 p.m.

transported to Josephine County Jail
for felony elude, and possession of
meth and stolen property.
*At 12:27 p.m. a citizen in the
400 block of Kirkham Road was
concerned because neighbors were

Building Supply.
