Jackson blotter

The following incidents were reported by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office:

RECKLESS CONDUCT: A 49-year-old Jefferson-area man believes that his 20-year-old neighbor purposely tried to run his car off the road while they were both driving on McCreery Road at about 10 p.m. July 8.

The older man told a sheriff’s deputy that he was driving on the dirt road when the 20-year-old pulled his four wheeler close the driver side of his truck and tried to run him off the side of the road.

He told the deputy that this is not the first time this had happened and that the young man seemed to have a grudge against him for firing his father. He called the sheriff’s office because he is now afraid the young man may try to harm his family.

PHONE THREATS: A Commerce-area woman called the sheriff’s office on the afternoon of July 8 because her ex-boyfriend called her and told her he was sending someone to her house to take care of her and her kids.

The woman told a deputy that she had contacted the Jackson County Department of Family and Children Services in regards to his children and the man was still mad at her.

The deputy told her the sheriff’s office would place an extra patrol by her house.

TRESPASSING: A Jefferson-area woman returned to her Galilee Church Road home July 2 to find that someone had damaged one of her windows by trying to pry it open.

Nothing was missing from her house, she told the deputy who took her report.

HARASSMENT: A Nicholson man called the sheriff’s office at about 10 p.m. July 10 because his 23-year-old daughter’s ex-boyfriend had repeatedly called the house in an effort to talk to her. Everyone at the house knew his voice but he kept giving them a fake name and denying he was the woman’s ex-boyfriend.

The man said a judge had forbade the two from talking because they are co-defendants in the same court case, the father told a deputy who took the report.

PROPERTY DAMAGE: A-32-year old Jefferson-area woman returned to her Old Winder Jefferson Highway house at about 8 p.m. July 10 to find the window of her Econoline van smashed.

She did not know that if somebody had tried to break into the van or if a passing lawnmower had thrown a rock, the deputy reported. There was nothing missing from the van.

ENTERING AUTO: A Jefferson-area man called the sheriff’s office July 8 because he woke up to find that someone had gone into his 2011 GMC pickup truck and taken his Garmin Nuvi GPS unit, valued at $400.

The man contacted the Garmin company to see if workers could track down the unit using its GPS capabilities.

TRESPASSING: A Jefferson-area woman awoke July 11 to find a 35-year-old Colbert man sleeping at the end of her driveway on Trotters Court. The woman told a sheriff’s deputy that the man came by her house the night before asking to speak with her adult daughter. She told him he needed to leave but instead he decided to sleep in her yard.

The deputy warned the man that he was trespassing and gave him a ride to the Clarke County line.

HARASSMENT: A Jefferson-area man called the sheriff’s office on the afternoon of July 10 because a woman who had lived with him until recently keeps riding by his house on Fields Road everyday before she went to work and on her way home.

The man told a deputy that he had let the woman stay at his house until recently when he found out she was back on prescription pills. The deputy told him not to have any more contact with the woman.

SUSPICIOUS: A Nicholson woman called the sheriff’s office on July 12 because a man had been calling her nephew repeatedly while he was out of town asking if he was going to be at his house in Nicholson and if he could come by and show him his new dirt bike.

The nephew knew the man but also knew that he committed several burglaries in the past. He asked his aunt to call the police because he believed the man was calling him to see if anyone would be at the house because he wanted to burglarize it.

STRAY DOGS: A 56-year-old Maysville woman called the sheriff’s office July 11 because she arrived home that afternoon to find a pack of about five dogs running around on her property.

The dogs seemed friendly enough but she was worried that they would attack her chickens and that if they decided to attack her she wouldn’t be able to get away.

The deputy who took her report forwarded it on to Jackson County Animal Control.

HARASSMENT: A Braselton-area couple called the sheriff’s office July 12 because a friend had hacked into both of their Facebook accounts, had posed as each of them and had written inflammatory things about the other.

The friend had posed as the woman and wrote that she was being beaten by her husband, and then had gone online posing as the man telling the wife that she better shut up about it.

When they found out what was happening the friend started cursing at them over the phone and texting cursing messages to her husband.

SHOPLIFTING: Deputies arrested a 23-year-old Athens woman July 12 on a shoplifting charge after a store manager at the OshKosh B&rsquo
