Wednesday, July 5
*A deputy talked with a group
gathered behind St. Matthias Episcopal
Church at 25904 Redwood Hwy. at
10:40 a.m.
*A fellow was in the suds, and
refused to leave the laundromat at 120
S. Hussey Avenue at 11:02 a.m. The
intoxicated man was becoming hostile,
so the manager requested that he be
trespassed. He left once he realized he
was in hot water.
*Occupants of a red Dodge
pickup truck were warned for failure
to properly use seat belts at 11:31 a.m.
near Waldo Road and Wood Creek
Road.
*The driver of a silver-colored
Toyota Camry was scolded for not
wearing a seat belt at 12:01 p.m. in the
4700 block of Waldo Road.
*Another motorist was in trouble
for no seat belt at 12:19 p.m. near
the intersection of Waldo Road and
Takilma Road. He was operating a
white Toyota.
*A transient was trespassing
inside a shop in the 200 block of W.
Lister Street at 1:29 p.m.
*A Ducati motorcycle was
ablaze off Rockydale Road near
Redwood Hwy. at 1:44 p.m.
Information was provided to JCSO, as
this seemed suspicious.
*At 1:54 p.m., a black-haired
young man, 6-foot-3, 160 pounds, was
walking quickly in the 800 block of
Caves Hwy. He was wearing baggie
shorts, a black tank top, and carrying
what appeared to be a black assault
rifle. Law enforcement detained the
shady character at 2:11 p.m.
*A deputy could not collar
an individual in the 100 block of
Dogwood Lane at 2:23 p.m.
*Bureau of Land Management
was notified of trash that was dumped
near the five-mile marker on Westside
Road at 2:59 p.m.
*Law enforcement made the
rounds in the 600 block of Frederick
Court at 3:16 p.m.
*At 3:29 p.m. a woman
requested a welfare check on her
daughter because she hadn’t spoken
to her in a month. The mother heard
that her offspring was staying in an
abandoned trailer in the 7200 block of
Rockydale Road, and she was worried
about possible drug use.
*There was an unattended fire at
site ten at Bolan Lake Campground at
3:59 p.m.
*Law enforcement went to the
3000 block of Rockydale Road at 4:23
p.m.
*A tailgater was cautioned for
following too closely at 4:42 p.m. near
Caves Hwy. and Junction Avenue.
*It made sense for a deputy to
look in the lot behind Dollar General
at 25868 Redwood Hwy. at 4:51 p.m.
Thursday, July 6
*SOS reported an alarm at 10:44
a.m. from Green Acres in the 6500
block of Caves Hwy. (Who remembers
Arnold Ziffel?)
*At 12:14 p.m. a feisty gal in
the 33200 block of Redwood Hwy.
claimed that her landlord tried to
attack her, so she clobbered him with
a baseball bat. (No, it’s pay rent, not
make dent.) The landlord had a Band-
aid covering his wound, but he refused
to talk with law enforcement. He was
advised of his options.
*A visitor from California
was warned for cell phone usage
while driving near Laurel Road and
Redwood Hwy. at 1:31 p.m.
*At 1:39 p.m. Hull & Hull
Funeral Directors were summoned
to assist with a person who died in a
cabin in the 30900 block of Redwood
Hwy.
WHERE’S
THE ALARM?
*A deputy investigated a vehicle
with Illinois license plates at 2:19 p.m.
on the west side of Eight Dollar Bridge
River Access.
*A careless cad was warned
for offensive littering at Little Falls
Trailhead Campground at 2:34 p.m.
*An individual in the 100 block
of Norman Road was served with an
RO at 2:45 p.m.
*At 3:04 p.m. a silver-colored
Chrysler with Colorado plates was
abandoned in a dry creek bed near
Pearsoll Road and Hogue Drive. A guy
was seen fleeing the scene.
*An unoccupied, secured vehicle
was parked at Horn Bend Trailhead at
3:14 p.m.
*A fellow in the 100 block of
Hogue Drive phoned 911 requesting a
tow because AAA in Colorado was no
help at all. The disoriented dude had
no clue where he was, but he figured
he may have been on Robinson Road.
(The local strains must be more potent
than Colorado crops.)
*A parking citation was issued at
4:02 p.m. at Echo Beach Campground.
*Jerry’s Tow Service went to
Hogue Drive for the Chrysler, but only
found fresh tracks at 4:14 p.m. They
did see an angry-looking fellow in a
vehicle with Colorado plates heading
northbound on Hwy. 199.
*An Oregon driver was cited at
River Bench Recreation Site at 5:03
p.m.
*An inattentive motorist nearly
ran a JCSO patrol vehicle off the road
when he crossed a center line on a
corner at MP 1 on Illinois River Road
at 5:08 p.m. When asked why he was
in the wrong lane, he replied “I was
not all the way in your lane, I was
distracted by my dog.” He was cited
for failure to drive right and failure to
provide proof of insurance.
Friday, July 7
*A woman phoned 911 at
10:33 a.m. because her grandson
was trespassing on property in the
8600 block of Takilma Road. When
she told him to leave, he grabbed a
baseball (bat?) and swung at her. The
grandmother will talk to her son about
obtaining an RO against the young
tyrant.
*At 12:14 p.m. the driver of a
black Buick sedan crossed yellow and
white lines, nearly sideswiping a truck
in the 5000 block of Holland Loop.
The passenger door was opening and
closing, as if an occupant was trying to
get out. (No wonder, with that kind of
driving.)
*Two young guys escaped
injuries when their smaller compact
car collided with a deer in the 2900
block of Holland Loop at 2:43 p.m.
The fate of the deer remains unknown.
*Braniacs were standing in the
back of a Jeep as it travelled down
Illinois River Road at 4:34 p.m. The
driver was cited for uninsured driving,
and expired registration. A warning
was doled out for failure to wear seat
belts.
Saturday, July 8
*A black Honda Civic with a
pink trunk (Pink-were they out of
rattle-can black?) was not maintaining
lane and driving all over the roadway
near Redwood Hwy. and Westside
Road at 10:03 a.m.
*A pocket-dial 911 call was
received at 10:18 a.m. in the 3600
block of Dick George Road.
*At 11:39 a.m. a deputy watched
as a driver near Horn Bend Trailhead
steered completely into oncoming
lanes three times to avoid pot holes.
Once was on a blind corner. He was
cited for failure to drive right, no
driver’s license, and no insurance.
*A fellow made two payments
on a car, then lost his job. He arranged
for his girlfriend to make his next
payment, but it was too late. His
mother dished out some tough love,
and repossessed her car from the
12100 block of Redwood Hwy. at
11:52 a.m. The son refused to believe
it was a civil matter. (Welcome to the
real world.)
*At 1:21 p.m. a deputy ran a
check on a blue Chevrolet Avalanche
with no license plates at River Bench
Recreation Site. The VIN provided
was not a match in seven western
states.
*A visitor from Washington
received a citation for parking in the
roadway at Diver’s Hole River Access
at 1:55 p.m.
*A citation was written for an
individual at Swinging Bridge Illinois
River Trailhead at 2:26 p.m.
*A motorist was cited for no
valid operator’s license, and warned
for no valid registration at 2:28 p.m. in
the 27000 block of Lakeshore Drive.
*The tough love mother phoned
911 to report that her son stole her
vehicle at 2:31 p.m. She repossessed
the car because he missed a payment,
and was unhappy to hear that this was
a civil issue.
*At 1:15 p.m. a rider was
speeding around a corner in the wrong
lane of Illinois River Road at MP 4.
He nearly crashed to avoid a head-on
collision with a JCSO patrol vehicle.
Due to the narrow road and traffic, a
deputy was unable to contact the risky
rider. At 2:35 p.m. the unattended
vehicle was located at McCaleb’s Boy
Scout Camp.
*A ticket awaits an individual
who unlawfully parked in the roadway
at Diver’s Hole River Access at 3:13
p.m.
*A driver who took his half in
the middle was warned for failure to
maintain lane at Forks State Park at
3:28 p.m.
*At 3:29 p.m., one vehicle ran
into another in the 400 block of S.
Redwood Hwy., and the driver was
asleep inside. He was advised to
contact his probation officer, and he
stated that he would pay for repairs.
