Sheriff Jailed Man for Five Felony Crimes But Has Not Provided Explanation

The Josephine County Sheriff's Office jailed a man on five felony-level charges this week, but has so far not provided any explanation for the arrest.

Josephine County Jail records show deputies arrested the 30-year-old man early Tuesday morning. He was booked into jail at 6:26 a.m..

Charges filed against the suspect included two counts of Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, plus single counts of 1st-Degree Burglary, 2nd-Degree Burglary and 1st-Degree Theft. He was being without bail.

The Sheriff's Office regularly omits serious crime arrests in its Daily Log. The agency failed to produce any daily logs over the past few days even though jail records show arrests were made by local deputies.

Dispatchers reported the lack of a press log over the last several days was due to "some database software issues."
