Wednesday, August 16, 2017 Page A-7 Tales from the Rural Patrol (Editor’s note: Factual information for ‘Patrol’ is provided by official law enforcement agencies. All persons listed are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Charges can be amended or dismissed.) *** Monday, August 7 *At 9:52 a.m. a gal reported that a motorcycle mysteriously appeared on her property in the 23000 block of Redwood Hwy. Law enforcement checked the serial number, but it did not appear to be stolen. *Joseph Francis Roselle, 23, was taken into custody at 11:54 a.m. in the 600 block of Lakeshore Drive on a misdemeanor warrant for parole violation detainer. Roselle was detained at Josephine County Jail for failure to appear for driving with a suspended/revoked license. *Residents in the 8800 block of Deer Creek Road are rightfully concerned about fire danger because an obviously uninformed guy is target shooting in that neighborhood. *A not-so-sharp shooter fired a round which ricocheted off a tree and went through a window in a church on S. Junction Avenue at 1:38 p.m. The bullet was recovered. *A 78-year-old man was confirmed deceased at 2:12 p.m. in the 5100 block of Caves Hwy. Tuesday, August 8 *A Galaxy Note 4 cell phone was stolen from a shopper in the 200 block of S. Redwood Hwy. at 6:30 a.m. on August 7. The store has video surveillance footage of the suspect. (Maybe his next cell will be in jail.) A report was filed for second-degree theft. *Between 7:40 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Aug. 7, low-lives burglarized a home in the 9400 block of Thompson Creek Road. Missing items include Husqvarna and Stihl chainsaws, tools, jewelry, a tennis bag with rackets, and even thyroid medicine. (A health-conscious thief, no less.) *At 10 p.m. on Aug. 7, a fellow in the 5700 block of Holland Loop discovered folks stealing hay from his barn, and that was the last straw. They claimed that his sister-in-law hired them to remove the hay, but they unloaded the red Chevy pickup truck. Investigation revealed civil issues stemming from a divorce. *A group of people were warned for trespassing at St. Matthias’ Episcopal Church in the 25000 block of Redwood Hwy. at 10:40 a.m. They are only welcome during soup kitchen hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. *A mom was upset at 2:01 p.m. because her ex-husband took her kids’ phones when they went for visitation in the 100 block of Caves Hwy. He explained that they were taken for discipline, and agreed to return their LG K8 appendages. *There was a domestic violence incident at 3:20 p.m. at 24542 Redwood Hwy. A gal was on top of a guy, hitting him with a stick, according to witnesses. The shirtless guy had what appeared to be rug burns all over his back when he rode away on a bike. WHERE’S THE ALARM?

She has video of the shirtless serenader. She filed a stalking order, but it had not yet been served. *At 10:47 a.m. a now not-so- friendly fellow in the 700 block of Althouse Creek Road was screaming and yelling that he was going to kill his neighbor in the middle of the night. *Between 11 p.m. on Aug. 8 and 4:30 a.m. on Aug. 9, a silver- colored Ford F-350 crew-cab pickup truck was stolen from the parking lot of Holiday Motel. The construction company truck had a silver- colored headache rack with “OSU” engraved. The truck also had a 110- gallon L-shaped fuel tank, a ProTech tool box, and two tailgate tool boxes. The vehicle was equipped with tools and equipment worth thousands of dollars, as well as a cell phone booster and custom seat covers. A Husqvarna chainsaw and a 40- caliber Sig Sauer were also missing. A report was filed for unauthorized use of a vehicle, first-degree theft, and first-degree theft of a firearm. *Version #1: A driver in a maroon Toyota pickup truck was trespassing in the 400 block of S. Redwood Hwy. at 11:11 a.m. When a fellow reached into the truck to grab the motorist, the Toyota ran over his foot, so he threw a rock at the vehicle. Another caller provided a slightly different tale about a rock that broke his back window, but did not include the part about running over anyone’s foot. A deputy warned the first guy about his actions, and advised that he phone Josephine County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) regarding trespassing issues. If the Toyota’s driver is located, he will also be reprimanded for trespass and his behavior. *JCSO assisted with traffic control and alert notifications near a large fire in the 30000 block of Redwood Hwy. at 1:25 p.m. *A gal’s ex-boyfriend was at her place in the 300 block of S. Kerby Avenue at 1:48 p.m. She didn’t tell him to leave, but he was just not supposed to be there. He was breaking things in the house, so she went to Grants Pass for the day, and said she would phone 911 if he was still there when she returned. *Squatters in the 200 block of Terrell Way had a generator which exploded and caused a small fire at 2:56 p.m. *A deputy served a restraining order on the troublemaker in the 700 block of Althouse Creek Road at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, August 10 *A security guard complained of two skateboarders who were trespassing at Junction Inn at 10:22 a.m. A tough dude touched a knife that was strapped to his hip when he threatened to kick the guard’s, ahem, derriere. The guy with a goatee headed towards Jubilee Park with a blue-haired gal when security phoned 911. *Hull and Hull Funeral Directors responded for a deceased 79-year-old woman in the 100 block of Patton Bar Road at 1:10 p.m. Friday, August 11 *A wife texted that she wrecked a Polaris on Lone Mountain Road following an argument with her husband at 4:30 p.m. He eventually found the Polaris, but she was nowhere to be found, so he went back to their RV in O’Brien. Only to find out that the RV was locked, and she had the keys. He knew his wife could take care of herself because she is a retired lieutenant colonel. Sure enough, she was located safe and sound at 9:18 a.m. *At 9:15 a.m. a guy wearing black Carhartt trousers and a gray hat with an Oregon logo was trespassing in the 600 block of Caves Hwy. He showed up in a red Chevy Silverado, using a screwdriver as a key. (Always a good sign.) His partner-in-crime ran off, and he was escorted off the property by an armed individual. *The folks in the 9300 block of Takilma Road were feeling left out of the I.V. News blotter, so they complained for the trazillionth time regarding their noisy neighbor and his loud electric bass guitar, drumming, and barking dog named Wookie. *A real estate agent was showing property in the 600 block of E. McMullen Creek Road when she found an abandoned tan 1980 Ford F-350 Coachman motorhome with Washington plates.
