Mother Calls 911 When Son Violates Active Restraining Order

A 38-year-old man is in custody after violating an active restraining order protecting his mother and her husband.

At 6:31 Thursday evening Josephine County Deputies were dispatched to the 900 block of Tetherow Road following the mother’s call to 911 saying her son had returned to their property and was chasing the horses in the pasture, yelling and trying to get the woman and her husband to come out of the house.

The son, identified as William George Muir, was flagged as being hostile to law enforcement. He was known to use drugs and alcohol, but it was unknown if he was under the influence during this episode.

Deputies contacted and arrested Muir, lodging him in the Josephine County Jail under two charges of the restraining order violation and criminal mischief III. He remained in custody this morning.
