*An Addison Lane resident reported a stolen pickup truck at 8 a.m., but then he found it and said, “Never mind.” How he found it was unclear.
*A very young Waldo Road resident dialed 911 while playing with a telephone just before 9 a.m. There was no emergency except when his mom told him about not doing that again.
*Responding to her residence last week, an ambulance struck a pickup truck on her property, causing some $2,000 damage, claimed an angry woman on Rockydale Road. An investigation by American Medical Response (AMR) found no damage to the ambulance in question, and the crew denied having hit anything.
*The former owners of a Cave Junction business had taken a line of credit in the business name, the current owner reported. It was deemed a civil issue, and the complainant was advised of her options.
*Bleeding heavily from an arterial arm gash sustained by punching a window on Old Stage Road, a “highly combative, uncooperative and intoxicated,” Scott Allen Cook, 43, was cited on a charge of interfering. Cited on the same charge was Victoria Danielle Lopez, 27. Cook, in handcuffs after being pepper-sprayed, was taken by AMR to Three Rivers Community Hospital (TRCH).
*Following a report of a man striking a woman outside the Junction Inn just before midnight, the pair drove away. Presently, the female half of the altercation phoned to say that she’d been pushed out of a moving vehicle. What happened next was not made clear.
