LEGAL, Siskiyou

Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office Weekly Booking Report: January 6-13, 2025

A Not-So-Smart Day in Siskiyou County

It started like many poor decisions do – at 2:40 AM on I-5 near Easy Street. Our protagonist, having already made the unwise choice to drive under the influence, compounds the error by providing false identification to the officer who pulled them over. They’ve also forgotten about the drug paraphernalia in plain view on the passenger seat.

By sunrise, another individual decides to evade CHP on I-5 near Weed, apparently unaware that running from law enforcement rarely ends well – especially when there’s already a warrant out for their arrest. The $250,000 bail that follows serves as an expensive lesson in physics: you can’t outrun radio waves.

Midday brings the classic “warrant Wednesday” energy (despite it not being Wednesday), as several people decide to stop by the jail lobby to turn themselves in for outstanding warrants. At least they picked a convenient time for booking staff.

The afternoon sees the usual parade of retail-related lapses in judgment at Walmart and other local stores, while the evening hours bring the predictable mix of DUIs and domestic disturbances. Someone decides to trespass at a local business, apparently surprised when this results in a trip to jail.

The I-5 corridor continues its role as an impromptu delivery system for out-of-state residents making poor choices, including several from Oregon and Washington who seem genuinely surprised that California law enforcement might take issue with transporting controlled substances.

Meanwhile, the “failure to appear” warrants stack up like cordwood, as various individuals demonstrate their creative interpretation of the phrase “mandatory court appearance.”

The story ends as it began – with another late-night booking, this time for someone who thought driving on a suspended license wouldn’t be noticed at 11:26 PM. They were wrong.

Moral of the story: Crime doesn’t pay, unless you’re a cop!

  1. Doesn't Matter

    I’m wondering why it is that some point out Hispanic, Black, Asian & Native American. While others don’t have a race stated. I’m guessing those that don’t, are White or Caucasian.
    Just found it strange
