All persons listed are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Charges can be amended or dismissed.) *** Monday, Oct. 30 *At 9:32 a.m. a dark- haired fellow was following teenaged girls near 230 N. Redwood Hwy. He was jumping in and out of traffic, and even hopped on the back of a semi. A concerned citizen phoned Josephine County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) when he saw the menace shove an elderly man to the ground. Justin Taylor, 29, was detained in Josephine County Jail on charges of second- degree disorderly conduct and probation violation. *Luey Magic Ocean Music Glenn, 28, is back in Josephine County Jail following his arrest in the 200 block of W. Palmer Street at 11:29 a.m. Glenn had a felony warrant for failure to appear on charges of second-degree burglary and third-degree theft. *A gal didn’t appreciate a photographer taking her picture on Oct. 29 between 6-6:40 p.m. in the 300 block of S. Junction Avenue. She felt that it violated their restraining order. Then again, he may have just been taking photos of the haunted house at Jubilee Park. The tricky issue will be addressed when they go to court on Halloween. *Folks in the 4700 block of Holland Loop are worried that their neighbors may be shooting without an appropriate backstop. The gunshots are being fired at all hours of the night, by marijuana growers that might be from W. Virginia or Tennessee or Kentucky. Tuesday, Oct. 31 *At approximately 2 a.m. Oct. 24, two guys and a gal were caught on camera as they cut gate locks and broke into a maintenance shed in the 500 block of E. River Street. They took a gas blower and weed eater, various gardening equipment, and a tool bag full of pliers, socket sets, screwdrivers and a hammer. A report was filed for second- degree burglary, criminal mischief, and theft. *Deputies contacted an individual who was sitting in the passenger seat of a Ford Explorer that was parked at the end of Lurline at 1:28 p.m. She said she didn’t know who owned the vehicle. She was just “hanging out” and the driver offered to smoke a cigarette with her. Inside the Ford was a substantial amount of marijuana, and a .22- caliber rifle with a scope and extended magazine. Wednesday, Nov. 1 *Folks in the 400 block of Queen of Bronze think it’s a royal pain when their neighbors fire cannons. *It seemed suspicious when a skinny black-haired gal and a tall guy jumped out of a silver-colored Subaru wagon, then hurried down Caves Hwy. at 3:12 p.m. They claimed they were searching for a phone that fell off their vehicle. Kiley William Ortman, 42, was cited to appear at the Jackson County Courthouse for a misdemeanor warrant for failure to appear for fourth-degree assault. *A tenant in the 2000 block of Laurel Road wants her landlord to quit stalling, and hold her horses. The animals roam free, and were being aggressive and attacking her at 5:55 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 2 *At 9:06 a.m., a not- too-sharp guy in a blue Ford flatbed pickup truck pulled I.V.

Redwood Hwy. *A landlady was not happy about a wrecked BMW that has been parked for the last month on her property in the 2000 block of Laurel Road. Since the abandoned car is on private property, she is responsible for the tow. *Drama continued as the elderly landlady in the 2000 block of Laurel Road complained about her tenants and their pot farmer friends. *A hysterical individual thought he would have a nervous breakdown because of a fellow who was shooting his bird cannon or potato gun in the 400 block of Queen of Bronze. At 2:46 p.m. two deputies inspected the backdrop, and determined that the cannon was being fired into a large, tree-covered bank. *The determined cannon shooter in the 400 block of Queen of Bronze Road stated that he was using a black powder cannon with no projectiles. He planned on shooting again on the weekend, and didn’t want JCSO to waste their time to come and check on him again. His range already passed inspection. Friday, Nov. 3 *A fellow and his mechanic bragged about what a great car a woman was buying when they sold her a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer for $900. The shysters apparently painted black paint on the tires, so they wouldn’t look worn. By the time she drove the car home, the tires looked like they were about to have a blowout. Two hours later, the Mountaineer stopped working completely. The shady used- car salesman never even provided her with a title to the Mercury. *There was a disturbance involving a grouchy grandpa in the 300 block of Burgundy Lane at 3:53 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 4 *At 4:59 p.m., a woman driving a green or silver- colored Subaru backed into another car in a parking lot at 202 S. Redwood Hwy. A compassionate citizen realized that the woman was highly intoxicated, and convinced her to stay and have a meal before she drove anywhere.
