Dec. 6
*All four tiers on were on the ground after a dance with a guardrail yet not one person was around. Interestingly enough the aliens also took the keys to the vehicle. It’s not clear how the found out, but the suspect was found to be in room 27 of a local hospital. Maybe somehow the empty Coors boxes and a receipt at the scene may have let law enforcement to the location. Anyway, short story long, Ryder Wilkerson was charged with driving under the influence, reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident with property damage.
*Charles Dunnick was cited for trespass. DUNNICK, CHARLES
*Britney Pope’s license was suspended yet she was driving.

Dec. 7

Dec. 11

*Terry L John was cited for two nuisance dog counts. Terry and her neighbor didn’t care for each other as, according to Terry, he uses colorful words when speaking to her.
*James Phelan didn’t renew his register his vehicle and was pulled over. Additionally, he was driving while suspended and didn’t have insurance.

Dec. 12
*This hasn’t been such a wonder year for Fredrich Savage. Savage’s neighbor claimed he was drunk and was shooting at her. She continued to allege he was scary and threatened to shoot her earlier in the day.
He was charged for menacing and unlawful use of a weapon.
*Michael Jesse Rigel was wanted by the state parole board for violating his parole. To add to Rigel’s issues were warrants out of Jackson County for distribution of cocaine and fentanyl also a felon in possession of a firearm. With this in mind, certainly one understands why he took off running. Getting captured at gunpoint earned Rigel three hots and a cot.
*Daren MCCollum had a warrant out of Albany.
*Elza Derado Yost had a few warrants out of Grants Pass PD.

  • ”Dog bite good,” is the quote of the week. Richard Carlyle was driving an unregistered suburban when he took the deputies on a came of tag. Carlyle ended up off the road, hiding in blackberries. Bring in the dog they said, dog bite man, man go to jail for a parole violation.
    Adding to Carlyle’s troubles, he now has a bite wound, charges of felony elude, driving while suspended/revoked and possession of meth.

More to come next year when the new owners take over.
