Monday, June 19
*A woman driver was warned
for unsafe vehicle on the roadway at
MP 20 on Hwy. 199 at 12:05 p.m. A
deputy had contacted this same gal
earlier, and would investigate her
further.
*A visitor from California was
warned for speeding on Redwood
Hwy. near Hanby Lane at 12:33 p.m.
*At 12:44 p.m. a motorist
behind the Oregon Caves Chevron
was cautioned regarding an obscured
license plate.
*A woman claimed that a guy
jumped into her car at 1:13 p.m. as
she was leaving Speedy Mart, and he
threw a Gatorade bottle at her, striking
her in the arm. The determined dude
refused to leave, until he got out of
the car somewhere on Westside Road.
A deputy talked with the suspect
and his father for the other side of
the story. Their version was she had
traveled to Cave Junction to rekindle
the relationship, but the flame fizzled
when she became angry with him.
The restraining order against him was
dismissed when she returned to CJ.
*At 2:15 p.m. a driver escaped
injuries when his vehicle went over the
bank and snagged on a tree at MP17
on Caves Hwy.
*A deputy was out with an
individual at the CJ Substation at 2:17
p.m.
*Law enforcement checked on
a house in the 200 block of W. Palmer
Street at 4 p.m. There did not appear
to be any recent activity, and the home
was secured from inside.
*A bicyclist was cautioned for
failure to obey a traffic control device
(FTOTCD) at 4:12 p.m. near the
intersection of Lister Street and Kerby
Avenue.
*A loon was running into traffic
near Shop Smart at 4:17 p.m. He was
warned for jaywalking.
*Justin Taylor, 28, was detained
in Josephine County Jail on a
probation violation retainer. Taylor
was arrested at 4:40 p.m. near N.
Redwood Hwy. and E. River Street.
Tuesday, June 20
*An individual in the 9400
block of Takilma Road was not fooled
when he was notified that he won $2.5
million. He has been receiving spam
calls, but does not have internet access,
so he was unable to sign up on the Do
Not Call Registry. He was provided
with an incident number and a hotline
contact.
*Law enforcement sought
witnesses in the 4900 block of Holland
Loop at 9:51 a.m.
*When residents returned to
3750 Lakeshore Drive at 5:30 p.m.,
they noticed paper from corrugated
roofing was flying across the field
behind Deer Creek Grange. Upon
inspection, it appeared that wire bands
had been cut from the roofing material.
They suspect that the alleged thief was
not aware of the length of the material,
and would likely be returning with
a trailer overnight. Caretakers of the
property will keep their eyes peeled,
and requested that a report be filed for
trespass and attempted theft.
*Litterbugs dumped everything
from household trash to a partially
