SHERIFF’S OFFICE
10/25 – Deputies were called to a Scio residence on the report of an altercation. The residence stated a couple had been dropping off a dog they no longer wanted when an argument broke out between the woman and the resident’s daughter. The woman allegedly raised her hand to the daughter, and the resident asked her to leave. When the woman refused, the resident pushed her down the porch steps and hit her multiple times. The woman’s boyfriend exited the car he’d been waiting in and pulled the woman away. He then brandished a knife and said he was going to “scalp” everyone there. The couple then left the scene. The deputy found and spoke with the couple. The woman stated she had been leaving when the resident pushed her down the stairs and hit her. The boyfriend said that he grabbed the knife because multiple people at the house had been advancing on him, and he said he would “stick them if they came up on” him. The woman was taken to the hospital via ambulance, and no one wanted to press charges at the time.
11/2 – A woman reported that her medications had been stolen, and she believed a family member was to blame but wasn’t sure who. She said that her blood pressure medication and Xanax had been taken.
11/3 – A woman reported her daughter, Lacey Stackhouse, missing. She said her daughter resides in Palmdale, CA, and is currently homeless as well as drug-addicted. The last contact any family had with Stackhouse was on October 19, 2022. The woman had already contacted the LA County Sheriff’s Department in CA and was told she needed to make a local report. Information has been relayed to the LACD.
11/4 – A deputy initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle with a loud, defective exhaust. The driver, identified as Ryan Harris, said he was taking his friend home, and while he was explaining, the deputy caught a pungent odor of marijuana. When asked about it, Harris gave the deputy a burnt joint and said there was nothing else in the car. During a search of the vehicle, deputies found suspected crystal meth and a bag of pills. They also found roughly 11 grams of marijuana. Harris was transported to the sheriff’s office to be incarcerated. Several days later, the owner of the vehicle called to file charges against Harris for unauthorized use of her vehicle. She had given Harris the keys so he could do work on her property while she was on vacation, but he was told not to drive the car anywhere else due to the faulty exhaust and lack of insurance.
11/5 – A Freeport woman reported her son had been scammed over social media. The adult son had been speaking with an unknown male over Snapchat and, during the conversation, had sent nude photos. The male said that unless he were given a large amount of money, he would leak the photos. The son originally sent $150, and the male said it wasn’t enough. The number attached to the Snapchat account showed an area code from California. The woman will be filing a fraud complaint with her bank soon.
Deputies were called to a Cadiz residence about a domestic dispute. Once the parties were separated, it was discovered the argument began when the female accused the male of flirting with a family friend. She admitted to pushing the male. No injuries were observed on either party, and neither of them wanted to press charges. Deputies waited on the scene until the male had gathered his things and left for the night.
A man came into the sheriff’s office to file a statement for documentation purposes. He said several threats were made toward his family through his son’s friend’s Snapchat account. He named three individuals who were making the threats. The man did not want to press charges at this time but wanted the information officially documented in case the issue persists, or any threats are acted upon.
A Scio business owner reported a former employee was making threatening and harassing statements on Facebook. He stated the employee was let go because of her actions on the job and was now “running her mouth on Facebook” about the business. He just wanted to make a report, so there is something on record if anything more happens.
11/6 – A deputy beginning his shift was informed of a possible accident on Fox’s Bottom Road. He found a light-colored SUV on the opposite side of the guardrail in the eastbound lane. He did not find anyone near the vehicle, nor did he see any sign of someone being injured. A nearby resident came down his driveway to speak with the deputy, saying he’d heard a loud “BOOM” and saw the crashed vehicle. The resident hadn’t seen a driver—another deputy located the driver at a gas station in Cadiz. The driver admitted to crashing the vehicle when going home with a female passenger. The driver showed no sign of impairment and stated he had no injuries. He was brought to the female passenger’s residence, who agreed to let him stay. She said she also had sustained no injuries during the crash.
11/11 – Two deputies were dispatched to a Piedmont residence for a possible drug overdose. EMS arrived on the scene at the same time, and the male was located in the bathroom. The woman who called said he had come home from a friend’s house and collapsed shortly after returning home. He was unresponsive, and his breathing was shallow. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance. No narcotics were visibly located at the scene though it is believed to be a drug overdose.
11/13 – Deputies assisted the Cadiz Police in searching the government building on North Main Street after a call about an unknown male being inside. No one was inside at the time, but there was ample evidence that someone had spent considerable time in two offices. An orange hoodie was collected and recognized by one of the deputies as something a man was wearing when he was let out of jail the day before. Upon review of the jail surveillance, the male wearing the hoodie was identified as Christopher Gaylor.
The following day, Gaylor was spotted walking toward Hopedale. A deputy stopped and took him into custody without incident. Gaylor was interviewed but did not say much. He was booked into jail, and surveillance footage from the government building will be reviewed shortly.
11/15 – A deputy was dispatched on a call of theft. Once on scene, the deputy spoke with the woman’s daughter, who said her mother was starting to show signs of dementia and had been experiencing memory loss. The deputy spoke with the mother, who said she noticed about $3,000 missing from her safe and about $500 from her purse. She suspects her landlord was responsible. It was noted that the woman left the safe unlocked. The deputy was unable to contact the landlord.
11/16 – A woman wanted to file a report about her daughter coming to her house. The woman waited in her driveway for the daughter to leave the property and did not speak with her at all. The woman has a protection order against her daughter, which stipulates that the two cannot be within 500 feet of each other. Deputies made contact with the daughter, who admitted to being at the residence to pick up her mail and drop off mail belonging to her mother. She stated she believed she was allowed to do this despite the protection order. The mother said she wishes to press charges.
A Cadiz woman made a short report that her child’s father failed to meet with her to exchange the child. She also requested a wellness check at the father’s residence because she’d been unable to talk to anyone there. A few minutes later, she returned to cancel the check because she had made contact.
CADIZ POLICE DEPARTMENT
11/11 – An officer on patrol witnessed a male he knew had a warrant walking down the street near Ranch to Table. The male was carrying a green backpack. Upon exiting his patrol car, the officer lost sight of the male and searched the immediate area but did not find him. Several minutes later, he saw the male again and, after a brief conversation, was able to arrest the male. The male was dropped off at the jail, but the officer was immediately called back as hthe male had a scratch he claimed to have gotten during his arrest. The officer returned and took him to the hospital to be medically cleared, then returned him to the jail. He then went to the police department to search the backpack, which contained a syringe with an unknown liquid inside, and to review bodycam footage. The officer was unable to find the moment the male received the cut on his arm during the arrest.
