Howdy, folks! Gather ’round for the latest roundup from the Siskiyou County Jail corral. We’ve had quite a week of wranglin’ law-breakin’ varmints into our fine establishment. So saddle up and let’s mosey through this here report, ya hear?

This Grants Pass gal thought she’d take a joyride up I-5 with some unlawful cargo. Our boys in blue lassoed her quicker than a jackrabbit on a hot griddle. - Richard “No-Show” Carsten Jr., 42
Old Richard thought he could dodge the long arm of the law. Well, he found out the hard way that the law’s got a mighty long reach ’round these parts. - Carlos “Swervin'” Chavez, 25
This Tulelake bronco tried to outrun our deputies. Pro tip: your horse needs to be faster than a patrol car, partner. - Va “Spaced Out” Chhim, 40
Caught ridin’ dirty down I-5. Seems Fresno ain’t teaching its citizens to say no to the devil’s candy. - Aaron “Bruiser” Comer, 44
This Dunsmuir cowpoke got a mite too rough with his missus. Spent two nights in the hoosegow to cool his heels. - Joshua “Heavy Hands” Contreras, 48
Another fella who needs to learn that real men don’t hit their women folk. He’s still enjoying our hospitality. - Julianna “Mystery” Cordova, 21
This Yreka lass is in for… well, we’re not rightly sure. But she’s stickin’ around for a spell. - Arthur “Parole Dodger” Cosenza, 54

This Oregon gal moseyed on down to turn herself in. Much obliged, ma’am. - Rocky “Three Sheets” Covey, 60
This Montana maverick thought he’d mosey down our streets three sheets to the wind, with a six-shooter to boot. We gave him a place to sleep it off. - Daniel “Lead Foot” Diaz Jr., 46

This Klamath River lady was caught with more than just lint in her pockets. And driving? Without a license? Tsk tsk. - Angie “Forgetful” Gibbons, 42

This San Jose gal thought she’d bring some big city excitement to our Montague Rodeo. Turns out, her kind of excitement ain’t exactly what we had in mind. - Traci “Slippery” Jones, 50
Miss Traci here tried to give our boys in blue the slip. Pro tip: when the law says “stop”, it ain’t a suggestion. - Scott “Wobbly Wheels” Landgraf, 41
This Redding rover decided to take a scenic tour of Mt. Shasta Blvd. Shame he couldn’t see straight enough to enjoy the view. - Stephanie “Masked Marauder” Lujan, 39
Stephanie fancied herself a modern-day highwaywoman, mask and all. Walmart ain’t exactly a stagecoach, darlin’. - Tyson “Young Gun” Mannings, 19

Ol’ Brian thought he’d try his luck with a trifecta: DUI, over the limit, and a dash of court-dodging. Turns out, lady luck wasn’t on his side. - Stiven “Speed Demon” Olivares, 25
This San Francisco slicker thought I-5 was his personal racetrack. Our boys showed him a different kind of fast lane. - Terry “Probation Dodger” Omler, 53
Terry boy here seems to think probation is just a fancy word for “do whatever you please.” We’re givin’ him a refresher course on the meaning. - Adrian “Six Pack” Pate, 42
Adrian managed to rack up more charges than a bull in a china shop. DUI, suspended license, no interlock… he was going for a high score! - Michael “Vanishing Act” Pence, 31
Mike here thought he could pull a disappearing act on his court dates. Turns out, our deputies are mighty fine magicians themselves. - Honey “Street Walker” Perez, 23

Josh thought he could outrun a felony warrant. Turns out, the long arm of the law is mighty quick in these parts. - Dayton “Rough Hands” Richcreek, 27
Young Dayton here needs to learn that the only thing he should be rough with is a tough steak, not his better half. - Barbra “Tipsy Wheels” Risling, 29
Barb took her horse out for a spin after one too many at the saloon. Only problem is, her horse was made of steel and ran on gasoline. - Jennifer “Forgetful” Shinar, 39
Jen seems to have a memory like a sieve when it comes to court dates. We’re helping her remember, free of charge. - Robert “Tough Talk” Sims Jr., 59
Bob here thought he’d try his hand at being the town tough guy. Now he’s cooling his heels in our finest cell. - Ricky “Double Whammy” Smith, 30
Ricky managed to land himself in hot water for roughing up his missus and playing hooky from his work release. Tsk tsk, Ricky boy. - Zachary “Bottoms Up” Swain, 31
Zach decided to turn the town into his personal saloon. We provided him with a quiet place to sleep it off. - Andrew “No Show” Teater, 37
Andy boy here seems to think court invitations are optional. We’re teaching him the meaning of “mandatory attendance.” - Lanzer “Lucky Number Seven” Trice, 43
Lanzer hit the jackpot with seven separate charges! If only he’d put that much effort into following the law. - Elias “Resisting Rest” Villasenor, 42
Elias thought he’d add a little excitement to his DUI by playing tag with our deputies. Spoiler alert: the deputies always win. - Robert “Cart Bandit” Werder, 39
Bob here got nabbed for an unconventional form of grand theft auto – shopping cart edition. We’re wheeling him into a cell as we speak. - Jianzhou “Green Thumb” Wu, 35
Mr. Wu here thought he’d try his hand at some unauthorized gardening. Now he’s tending to a different kind of cell. - Victoria “Trifecta” Ziemba, 32
Vicky managed to score a hat trick of warrants. We’re giving her a grand tour of our finest holding cells.
Well, folks, that’s another fine mess of miscreants added to our guestbook. Here in Siskiyou County, we believe in second chances – and third, and fourth, if the judge says so. Stay tuned for more tales from the calaboose, where every day’s a holiday and every meal’s a banquet!
That wraps up this week’s edition of “Siskiyou County’s Most Wanted (And Subsequently Caught).” Remember, in these parts, we take our law and order with a side of humor and a heaping helping of hospitality. Y’all come back now, ya hear? (But preferably not in handcuffs!)
