JoCo Sheriff's Office Deputies Arrested Suspect Playing Drums in Mother's House

Deputies with the Josephine County Sheriff's Office were called out to a woman's home in the 23000 block of Redwood Highway Sunday afternoon.

At 2:19 p.m. she called and stated her son was back inside her house again. The suspect, Daniel Wells, had claimed he had a key to the house, and the mother wanted deputies to retrieve it.

She warned that Wells carries a buck knife on his pants. Deputies arrived at the property, and heard him playing the drums inside. Wells ignored deputies knocking, so they advised the woman they would have to force entry.

Deputies were then able to take Wells into custody. He was transported and lodged in the Josephine County Jail on a Contempt of Court charge.
