Sunday, May 21
*The residents in the 9300 block
of Takilma Road have expanded their
horizons. Their previous complaints
regarding their neighbor’s loud power
equipment, annoying drumming, and
amped bass have not been resolved.
Now they have upped the ante to
moan about a cat digging and rolling
in their vegetable garden. (First world
problems.)
*The white whine continued
from the folks in the 9300 block of
Takilma Road at 10:25 a.m. They are
at their wits’ end because they get
no peace anymore, and they want
Josephine County Sheriff’s Office
(JCSO) to issue a citation or two or
10. Their aggravation was tagged as
beyond available resources (BAR) by
JCSO.
*A scalawag cut a fence at
Illinois Valley Building Supply,
and stashed retail products near the
opening. A conscientious neighbor
phoned 911 and alerted I.V. Building
Supply that a roll of their fencing was
in his yard on Madrona Drive at 11:18
a.m.
*A deputy searched for an
individual in the 100 block of Warren
Road at 12:18 p.m., but the property
is now gated with signs stating no
trespass.
*Lurline Lane and Laurel Road
were patrolled at 1:28 p.m.
*Law enforcement will
conduct further investigation on three
characters in the 300 block of Caves
Hwy. at 1:43 p.m.
*A deputy had some doubts
about the integrity of two people in a
blue Ford in the 3200 block of Waldo
Road at 2:39 p.m.
*It appeared as if a Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) gate had
been cut in the 4800 block of Suncrest
Drive at 2:59 p.m. It was actually
a private driveway that belongs to
property owners from Texas.
*The driver of a Dodge Ram
pickup truck was pulled over at 3:08
p.m. in the 32000 block of Hwy. 199
because his temporary registration tag
was not clearly visible.
*An unnamed culprit was in
police custody at 3:24 p.m. in the 600
block of Naue Way.
*There was a family feud
involving a 4-year-old girl at 3:56 p.m.
in the 200 block of S. Old Stage Road.
A deputy advised of options regarding
child custody. Daniel Alejandro Hill
Esparza, 22, was detained at Josephine
County Jail following his arrest at 5:07
p.m. Esparza had a statewide felony
warrant for failure to appear for elude
and reckless driving.
*A fellow was retrieving his
tools and other items at 4:16 p.m. in
the 300 block of Pine Tree Way, but
law enforcement could not interfere
because it was a civil issue involving a
married couple.
Outside the Valley
*Eleven situations.
Monday, May 22
*Hull and Hull Funeral Directors
responded to the report of a deceased
person in the 400 block of Mesa Verde
Drive at 9:22 a.m.
*At 9:27 a.m. the gal from the
9300 block of Takilma Road spoke

with law enforcement regarding
her five frustrating years with her
noisy neighbor. She claimed that she
understood the limitations of JCSO,
that they were not able to respond due
to limited resources, and the case was
closed.
*Minutes later at 9:45 a.m., a
guy phoned from the 9300 block of
Takilma Road, and was given the
same explanation that JCSO would
not be sending a deputy to cite his
neighbor for weed whacking. He
said that he understood, but he would
keep reporting the incidents because
he feels like it is blatant harassment.
(Misuse of 911 perhaps?)
*Coincidentally, a tip came in
at 10 a.m. that a 1965 Clenet Coach
Works Roadster school bus with no
license plates had been abandoned
at the corner of Takilma Road and
Meadows Road. A deputy stated that
the yellow bus appeared to be on
private property, and someone may
have been living in it, but the bus was
locked from the outside.
*A deputy was unable to locate
a character in the 100 block of Warren
Road at 11:20 a.m.
*At 11:27 a.m. a citizen notified

setting up occupancy on property at

a flatbed truck were parked near the
boarded-up home with a downed tree
on top. JCSO will follow up with the
property owner.
*Switched license plates were
seized from a vehicle in the Shop
Smart Food Warehouse parking lot at

12:19 p.m. at the Western Plaza when
an oblivious red-head wearing a
purple tank top and jean shorts was

After she provided consent for law

Lori Taylor, 52, was detained at
Josephine County Jail for possession
of meth.

*At 2:29 p.m. a driver was
warned for speeding on Redwood
Hwy. near Reeves Creek Road.

driving with a suspended license
violation (DWS-V) and no seat belt

block of Takilma Road.

area near Hwy. 199 and Rough and
Ready Creek at 4:10 p.m.
Outside the Valley
*Thirty incidents.
Tuesday, May 23
*An employee of a local pasta
cucina failed to show up for work on
her assigned shift, so she was fired.
Her boyfriend was not happy with that
decision, so May 20 he confronted
the owner of the restaurant, and made
threats to burn the eatery. A deputy
advised of options for dealing with
trespassers at 3:03 p.m.
*At 12:03 p.m. a gal claimed
that May 22 her unfriendly neighbor
assaulted her by pulling her hair
and throwing her to the ground. The
mean girl is one of several people
who have established residence in a
vacant property in the 800 block of
Caves Hwy. They connected a power
cord to the gal’s property, increasing
her electric bill by nearly $600. She
doesn’t want to pursue charges, but
requested that law enforcement contact
the freeloaders. She was advised of her
options.
*A useless dude living with his
mother in the 5500 block of Westside
Road admitted that he stole tools from
a home in the 5400 block while the
resident was in the hospital. When
asked to return them, he stated that he
sold them to pay for his drugs. The
scoundrel’s $4,500 score consisted
of a Briggs & Stratton generator, log
splitter, Milwaukee planer, drills,
saws, and various construction tools.
(Expensive drugs.)
