Deputies Arrested Selma Woman Who Refused to Leave House Built by Dad
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested an Illinois Valley woman who refused to leave a house her father built after it was sold to another person.
The Sheriff's Office reports deputies responded to a trespassing complaint in the 1700-block of Deer Creek Road near Selma on Wednesday evening.
Deputies said a 68-year-old woman had been evicted from a property where a house built by her father was constructed. They said she returned and broke into the house, went upstairs and fell asleep in her old bedroom.
The woman's ex-husband advised that she was not being aggressive. He said she adamantly believes that the sale of the house is fake because her father built it.
Responding deputies found the gate open, but the driveway was blocked by the woman's vehicle. She had reportedly trespassed on the property before and she struggled with deputies as they placed her into custody.
The suspect was transported to Grants Pass and lodged at the Josephine County jail for 1st-Degree Criminal Trespass and Resisting Arrest.
