Deputies Incarcerated Felon for Breaking into Rural Residence Just West of GP
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office jailed a felon for breaking into a house just west of Grants Pass yesterday.
The Sheriff's Office reports deputies arrested 40-year-old Dustin Paul Taetz at a home in the 500-block of Country Aire Drive on Tuesday around 2:45 p.m..
Deputies said the homeowner called 9-1-1 to report seeing a male subject on his property through a Ring camera. The caller advised the subject went into the garage and entered the house through an unlocked door. He was concerned due to firearms and other valuables that were secured inside the residence.
Upon arrival, deputies contacted Taetz who claimed he was working at a nearby residence and a Chevrolet Blazer on the property was his. However, a family member said no one but his stepmother drives the vehicle and Taetz was not working for her.
Taetz was immediately placed into custody and lodged at the Josephine County Jail for 1st-Degree Burglary and 1st-Degree Criminal Trespass plus Felony Parole Violation. He was being held on a no-bail detainer.
