Weekly Police Blotter: October 13-20, 2025

Your Hometown Herald โ€“ Keeping Tabs on the Usual Suspects (and a Few Who Clearly Missed the Memo on “Low Profile”)

Folks, it’s been a banner week in Siskiyou County, where the sheriff’s office logged 42 bookingsโ€”enough to fill a small convention center, or at least the local jail. From weed woes in Weed to domestic disputes that escalated quicker than gas prices, our deputies have been busier than a one-armed paperhanger. Remember, if your name’s here, maybe next time skip the encore performance. Stay safe, stay legal, and for heaven’s sake, show up to court.
