Deputies Jail Felon for Restraining Order Violation with OSP Help
Josephine County Deputies jailed a local felon for a restraining order violation with help from the Oregon State Police.
Just before 10 Tuesday morning 911 received a call from the 2900 Block of Merlin Road because a suspect with whom a restraining order was in place had returned to a trailer on the property and had made threats to kill them if they informed law enforcement. The reporting parties were leaving because of the threats.
At 10:34 a.m. the suspect, identified at Jeremy Kyle McFarland, 47, was reported to be detained, but not without significant effort.
According to the Sheriff’s log McFarland attempted to flee and resisted attempts to restrain him. Deputies and Troopers took him to the ground and placed him in handcuffs. He continued to resist as he was placed into the patrol car and transported to the Josephine County Jail.
He remained in custody Wednesday morning. The jail booking sheet listed no bail amount for the charges of Contempt of Court and a Post-Prison Supervision Sanction.
