Sunday, August 20
*A fellow claimed that
his house in the 100 block of
Kinnikinnick Drive had been
burglarized between April 1 and
July 21, 2017. His 2011 GMC Sierra
was vandalized as well. His list of
missing items included household
goods, tools, building supplies,
bicycles, a motorcycle, a 10-22
Ruger rifle, and vending machines.
He suspects the tacky thieves used
his enclosed trailer to transport the
goods. He waited a month to report
the crime while he tracked down the
serial numbers of the vehicles and
trailer.
*At 9:37 a.m. a guy wearing a
green baseball cap was told to leave
property in the 100 block of Finch
Road. His response was to brandish
a machete and say, “You don’t have
to be a jerk.” He was later seen
sitting on the curb behind Kerby
Mart, drinking a beer, with his trusty
machete by his side
*Entrepreneurial panhandlers
pushed the “walk” buttons repeatedly
to stop traffic at S. Redwood Hwy.
and Caves Hwy. at 1:12 p.m.
*There was a motor vehicle
accident involving a white Ford
Bronco which rolled over near Hays
Cutoff Road and Holland Loop at
3:40 p.m. Jessie Wolfe, 33, was
charged with driving under the
influence of intoxicants - alcohol,
reckless driving, and operating a
vehicle without driving privileges.
He was cited to appear in lieu of
arrest.
*A guy was unloading his
vehicle at a site just past Store
Gulch Campground at 7:30 p.m.
Aug. 18. Between trips to his
campsite, someone apparently helped
themselves to his air mattress, power
converter for auto, insurance papers
and registration.
Monday, August 21
*Squatters have returned to the
Community Garden in the 100 block
of S. Kerby Avenue, according to
a call received at 11:06 a.m. They
sprouted up in a small camp at the
back of the property.
*Between 2-8 a.m., an unlocked
(why?) vehicle in the 200 block
of Stevenson Street was broken
into. Missing items include a black
wallet containing a debit card, food
card, driver’s license, and Social
Security cards. A report was filed
for unauthorized entry into a motor
vehicle, second-degree theft, and
criminal mischief.
*There was a hen-fight between
two gals parked in a vehicle on
Woodcock Court at 12:59 p.m.
They were yelling, screaming, and
cursing at each other for at least 45
minutes. The disturbance seemed to
be regarding a stolen vehicle, which
was recovered in the 100 block

Hicks will have some explaining
to do to his probation officer on
Monday.
*At 1:11 p.m. a resident in
the 24000 block of Redwood Hwy.
thought that the new neighbor looked
a lot like a robber who was recently
shown on video surveillance on a
weekday newscast. (Eh, they all look
alike.)
*A rowdy guy was grabbing
bottles and insulting an individual in
the 25000 block of Redwood Hwy.
at 2:57 p.m. A deputy encountered
Justin Taylor at St. Matthias
Episcopal Church, and subdued
him using a taser. Taylor, 29, was

County Jail, charged with domestic
violence and fourth-degree assault.
Wednesday, August 23
*A frantic pet owner was
ranting and screaming for law
enforcement at 10:19 a.m. in the 300
block of Caves Hwy. Apparently, he
was upset because the veterinarian
was not available. He was advised
to make a follow-up appointment to
obtain after-care instructions for his
dog.

his tenant from the 100 block of
Sanger Lane, he found a set of
vehicle keys that he believed were

may have solved a case involving a

that was stolen from Club Northwest.

was detained on a GPDPS felony
warrant for failure to appear and

Thursday, August 24
*A resident in the 1600 block
of Thompson Creek Road stated
that someone cut the lock onto his
property at 2:12 p.m. The trespassers
were still on site with a trailer, so the
clever home owner blocked the exit
with his white older Dodge pickup
truck until law enforcement could
arrive. Robert Charles Breakfield, 53,
was arrested on a Josephine County
felony warrant, charged with failure
to appear for felon in possession
of firearm, unlawful possession of

window. Mark Steven Crutcher, 57,
was cited for failure to appear on
contempt of court charges.
