IV Man Jailed for Shooting at Neighbor in Ongoing Dispute over Marijuana Grow
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office jailed an Illinois Valley man for shooting at his neighbor this week as part of an ongoing dispute over growing marijuana in the Selma area.
The Sheriff's Office reports deputies responded to the disturbance in the 100-block of Hogue Drive late Tuesday afternoon.
Deputies said a man at that address called 9-1-1 to report that his 47-year-old male neighbor took a shot at him while they were in a verbal dispute over a marijuana grow. The caller advised the man shot at his legs, but the bullet hit the ground and he was not hurt. He didn't have any weapons and secured himself inside his house.
Upon arrival, deputies interviewed both parties, located a bullet casing in the yard and placed the suspect into custody.
The suspect was transported to Grants Pass and lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Felony Attempted 1st-Degree Assault, Felony Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Felon in Possession of a Weapon and Menacing. He was being held without bail.
