Early-Morning Burglary Investigation Leads to Arrests in Rural Central Point, Deputies Seize Guns, Drugs, Cash JCSO Case 24-2209 CENTRAL POINT, Ore. – Jackson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) deputies arrested two suspects yesterday after an early-morning burglary in rural Central Point. Yesterday morning, a JCSO Community Service Deputy took a report from ECSO Dispatch just after 8 a.m. of a burglary in the 5700 block of Upton Road. Through the investigation, JCSO deputies identified several suspects and tracked them to an address in the 100 block of Laurelhurst Street, also in rural Central Point. JCSO deputies obtained a search warrant for the property and identified a female suspect on scene. During the initial search of the property, deputies located an additional suspect hiding under a shed. The man did not respond to commands to come out and barricaded in the crawl space. After a lengthy standoff, deputies persuaded the man to give up through the use of pepper spray and a K9. JCSO Criminal Investigations Division (CID), and Illegal Marijuana Enforcement Team (IMET) detectives responded to assist in the arrest and search of the property. During the search, investigators discovered 10 firearms including a stolen pistol, and an AR-style rifle with no serial number. Deputies also found body armor, an illegally-manufactured silencer, methamphetamine, heroin, Butane Honey Oil (BHO), 35 lbs. of processed cannabis, and 58.3 grams of fentanyl. Deputies also uncovered nearly $19,000 in cash. The first suspect was Kelli Margaret Hernandez, 44, of Medford. She was arrested for conspiracy to commit second-degree burglary, and hindering prosecution. She was booked and lodged at the Jackson County Jail. The second suspect was Mickey Ray Galatz, 28, of Central Point. He was arrested on 15 charges related to the incident, in addition to five outstanding warrants. The new charges include second-degree burglary, first and second-degree theft, second-degree criminal mischief, second-degree trespass, interfering with a peace officer, felon in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of body armor, possession of a prohibited firearm, unlawful possession of methamphetamine, unlawful distribution of methamphetamine, unlawful possession of heroin, and unlawful distribution of heroin. For the fentanyl Galatz was charged with unlawful possession of a schedule II-controlled substance – substantial quantity, and unlawful distribution of a schedule II-controlled substance. The outstanding warrants include probation violations for felon in possession of a firearm, two counts of felony unlawful possession of heroin, attempting to elude police by vehicle, and a Klamath County warrant for first-degree burglary and first-degree aggravated theft. Galatz is lodged in the Jackson County Jail. This case is under further investigation with deputies following additional leads. There is no more information for release at this time.Photos from Jackson County Sheriff Oregon's post Featured News by Jackson County Sheriff

'WEED WRANGLE' TO REMOVE INVASIVES AT AIRPORT As part of the Earth Day activities around the globe, volunteers will gather for a weed wrangle to pull and eradicate invasive Scotch broom and Himalayan Blackberry within the Coos County Airport District (CCAD) property near the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport. The event, sponsored by the Coos Watershed Association, is a great opportunity to impact the area near the Airport Heights neighborhood and the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport. Volunteers will stage west of Airport Heights Park at the intersection of Colorado and Arthur from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 27, 2024. The work will take place along the park boundary and unimproved trail access that runs along the bluff above the airport. Cytisus scoparius (Scotch Broom) and Himalayan Blackberry are invasive species that tend to outcompete native plants. They spread rapidly and create opportunities to potentially catch fire. Everyone is encouraged to attend and make a positive impact on the watershed during Earth Week. Tools, gloves, and snacks will be provided. A billion people globally will likely celebrate Earth Week and activities that take place globally on April 22, 2024. Earth Day encourages people to come together and take action for a healthier planet. CCAD is a special district that owns and operates the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport. It consists of 619 landside and airside acres. It also includes a park and walking/biking trails. For more information, call (541) 756-8531 or visit our website www.flyoth.com. You can also follow the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport on Facebook and Instagram. Featured News by City of Coos Bay
