Tuesday, June 6
*On Addison Lane, a resident turned out to be not the owner of a vehicle discovered abandoned in Del Norte County. That man, it seems, hadn’t lived there in more than a year.
*Because a man who had been drinking would not leave a woman’s Eight Dollar Road residence when asked, a woman phoned for assistance around 3:30 a.m. Once the man stopped yelling and left, however, she was satisfied that she no longer needed assistance and became uncooperative with the call-taker.
*Kids with a .BB gun shot his dog and his vehicle’s rear window, complained a Pinewood Way resident.
*Graffiti allegedly related to a motorcycle gang was documented in the west men’s restroom at Jubilee Park.
*Erica Lynn Hampton, 31, was cited on a charge of driving while uninsured near W. Watkins Street at Hussey Avenue. The vehicle she was driving was impounded.
*Two women upset regarding recent contact with a deputy were said to be raising a ruckus in the 500 block of Watkins Street at 2:40 p.m.
*Stopped for speeding and failure to obey a traffic control device, Jonathan Alexander Doug Wilcox, 20, was cited on charges of driving without insurance, and driving with a suspended license (DWS) on S. Sawyer Avenue at 3 p.m. His vehicle was impounded.
*Although everyone at an Ollis Road residence was uncooperative regarding who was responsible for a series of 911 hang-up calls, two men, Justin Leavitt, 35, and Clifton Campbell, 27, were discovered to have outstanding warrants. Both were transported to Josephine County Jail, which seemed to solve the telephone problem.
*Apparently damaged with a saw and an ax, a tree in his yard was now endangering his house, said a Reeves Creek Road resident.
*On Happy Camp Road a man said the house next door had been burglarized. No victim or responsible party could be ascertained, as the home was held in trust. The neighbor was left to investigate things further.
*Some sort of disturbance involving men, women, and threats was occurring on Pine Cone Drive at 9:21 p.m., but nothing untoward was discovered when a deputy rolled through in a patrol car to check.
Wednesday, June 7
*More than $200 cash for the till was removed from an office at the Junction Inn, it was reported just after 7 a.m.
*Two fuel-filler pipe caps, a first-aid kit and 20 gallons of fuel were reported stolen from school buses overnight at Evergreen Elementary School.
*Five people and a pair of dogs had massed on the front yard of a woman’s residence on Hussey Avenue, and she wanted them to leave.
*Caught drinking, two people were informed that they were prohibited from being in Jubilee Park for one week.
*Ten minutes after he was told not to be there, Daniel S. Blasé, 27, was cited to appear on a charge of trespassing at Jubilee Park.
*Someone “with an Asian accent” phoned a Fernwood Drive resident to say he was going to kill her.
*After recklessly driving through an Ollis Road neighborhood from which he’d recently been evicted, a man was reminded figuratively about the Biblical warning regarding trespassing.
*A 20-year-old woman who, although often asked to leave, “hangs out” near her parents’ residence in a Kerby neighborhood smoking pot and drinking beer, was there again. The manager wanted her formally warned against trespassing.
Thursday, June 8
*Brandon Shain Croft, 20, was cited on charges of DWS and lack of insurance after he was stopped for an inoperative brake light in the 200 block of S. Redwood Hwy.
*Unhappy, apparently, about not having graduated with the rest of his class, an IVHS senior was reportedly lurking on campus, making threatening remarks about a particular teacher.
*Several transients were said to be noisily setting up camp somewhere in the 25000 block of Redwood Hwy., but they could not be located.
Friday, June 9
*A Madrona Drive resident was concerned that a boy from a nearby street who was driving an ATV at high speeds “would kill himself or others.” The caller was adamant about needing deputy contact, because when he had approached the boy’s father, the father tried to start a fight, the caller claimed.
*A continuing problem with trespassers who leave trash and damage Q Bar X Ranch property on Westside Road was reported at 11 p.m.
Saturday, June 10
*The sound of a woman screaming was heard just before 2 a.m. said a caller from Lake Selmac Resort.

*A Kerby couple agreed to be separated for the night after a fight regarding a flooding toilet escalated into a 911 call at 7:16 p.m.
