Weaver was cited and released to appear in Jackson County Circuit Court. Sunday, July 30 Monday, July 31 * During the week of July *A deputy from Josephine County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) was suspicious of a primer-black Honda Civic with writing on it because there was no rear license plate. He located a fugitive when he stopped the vehicle near Hogue Drive and Redwood Hwy. at 11:01 a.m. Robert Huguez, 24, was taken into custody for parole violation detainer and misdemeanor driving while his license was revoked. *At 1:15 p.m. a fallen light fixture from the baseball field was located at Jubilee Park and taken to Josephine County Public Works Dept. *A stolen silver-colored Honda with no plates was recovered from the 5400 block of Westside Road at 2:02 p.m. There was damage to the top of the Honda, which may have crashed or flipped. *The driver of a white pickup truck with expired registration failed to yield to a deputy near Dogwood and N. Old Stage Road at 4:14 p.m. A guy with dark hair, mustache and goatee fled, leaving the vehicle in the middle of N. Old Stage Road and Fir Drive. The truck was a road hazard and was towed. Two airsoft rifles and a chainsaw were removed from the vehicle for safe-keeping. *A fugitive on a skateboard was spotted at Siskiyou Market at 16-27, hooligans trespassed on private property in the 17000 block of Redwood Hwy. and attempted to steal three quad runners. They cut wires, removed batteries, and cut ignition switches on all three. When the amateurs realized that the quads were also locked with heavy steel cable, they gave up and settled for siphoning all the fuel. *At 9:30 p.m. on July 30, a fellow parked his wife’s 2016 Kia Sorrento at the end of 6th Street in Kerby so he could go rafting. When the Mrs. and their young son walked towards her car, she heard glass breaking and feared for their safety. The passenger side window and glove box were damaged, and her purse, wallet, driver’s license, and Galaxy mobile phone were missing. *A guy on a bicycle was detained by a deputy at 11:08 a.m. near Hogue Drive and Redwood Hwy. He consented to a search of his backpack, and the deputy found a small jar with a crystal-like substance, which tested positive for meth. The bicyclist was cited to appear for possession of meth. (He won’t be pedaling so fast now.) *A concerned citizen in the 2100 block of Dick George Road requested a welfare check at 12:13 p.m. A dark-haired woman in her 40s, wearing a green camo strapless dress, was standing in the middle of the road. She kept looking up the hill at a marijuana grow. (So much weed, so little time.) Brenda Ferrell, 41, was detained at Josephine County Jail for disorderly conduct. *A report was filed for fourth- degree assault and strangulation following a domestic violence incident in the 200 block of Thompson Creek Road at 12:43 p.m. Tuesday, August 1 *A fugitive was apprehended near Redwood Hwy. and Waldamar Road. Savannah Valenzuela, 21, was wanted on a felony warrant from Jackson County for failure to appear for possession of meth, unauthorized use of vehicle, reckless driving, and maybe even stolen vehicle. An additional charge of possession of meth was tacked on to the list. She was detained at Josephine County Jail by Oregon State Police (OSP). *Trespassers were evicted from a house on Dogwood Lane, so they moved their cars and belongings to a parking lot behind a dance studio in the 700 block of Caves Hwy. at 10:03 a.m. Now they are trespassed from 700 and 800 blocks of Caves Hwy. *At 10:07 a.m. there was a report regarding an individual in the 1300 block of Rockydale Road. Apparently between June 1 and July 14, a gal would fill her car full of a fellow’s belongings and leave. No one would stop her because they are afraid of this big girl who married into a bike club. He claimed she stole clothing, four cell phones, Craftsman hand and power tools, an Alpine stereo, and cash. She also took his camping gear, a tent, cot, four sleeping bags, and lawn chairs. Computer software, a diamond cross necklace, and a Sig Sauer semiautomatic pistol were other missing belongings. He did recover all his vehicles that were removed from the location, but he did not have serial numbers for the other items. *A vehicle was broken into at Grayback Campground between 7:30 a.m. and noon on July 31. A wallet, dog tags, and Motorola Droid 2 cell phone were stolen. A ping came from the area near Robinson Corner Road and Holland Loop, but the phone was not located. *Angela Ramsey, aka Angela Mirabile, 47, was detained in Josephine County Jail for probation violation detainer. She was arrested in the 100 block of S. Hussey Avenue at 12:45 p.m. *Folks were concerned about a shepherd dog in a brand new, silver-colored Mazda with no license plates. The Mazda was parked in the 200 block of S. Redwood Hwy. at 3:50 p.m., and none of the windows were rolled down. They worried for nothing. The car was running, and the dog was fine. The owner was in the back seat, but he couldn’t be seen because of the tinted windows. *Law enforcement pulled over a white Suzuki near Rockydale Road and Nolan Road at 5:03 p.m. Michael Murphy, 26, was cited to appear in lieu of arrest for driving with a suspended license, felon in possession of a restricted weapon, and possession of meth. Wednesday, August 2 *An alert caseworker for Department of Human Services requested a welfare check for a family in the 200 block of Thompson Creek Road at 9:21 a.m. Chad Andrew Tucker, 40, was detained in Josephine County Jail for fourth-degree domestic assault and domestic strangulation. *Lamebrains in a green Dodge pickup truck broke a handle to a fuel pump in Selma at 6 a.m. They stole between 135-140 gallons of diesel fuel, filling a green heating fuel tank in the back of their truck. *A dark blue 1989 Dodge Dakota was stolen from the 7000 block of Rockydale Road at 3:15 p.m. A fellow was tying a tarp over a load of trash when a young lass with black hair and blond roots came to the door selling something. When he offered her a ride, the ungrateful gal put her belongings in the pickup truck and sped away, dragging him partway down the driveway. He was injured, but did not require an ambulance. A deputy located the Dakota in the 6000 block of Lakeshore Drive. When the registered owner recovered the vehicle, two bags and a cell phone were also in the truck. They were turned over to law enforcement for safe-keeping as found property. A suspect was named, and a report was filed for unauthorized use of a vehicle, elude, and reckless endangering.
