Jackson County Sheriff's Office JCSO Case 21-6551 BUTTE FALLS, Ore. - Jackson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) Search and Rescue (SAR) saved a missing Prospect woman last night stranded in snow off a forest road. The 46-year old woman had been missing for nearly 24 hours when she was reported to ECSO Dispatch and SAR initiated the call-out. Six teams of SAR volunteers and JCSO deputies conducted a hasty search of her last known area. A SAR search truck team found the woman three hours later off of Rancheria Road near Butte Falls. The woman was cold, tired and nearly out of gas when the team found her, and believes she would not have survived another night in the elements. The search was delayed due to deep snow in much of the Rogue River National Forest search area.   This search was one of three SAR call outs last night to rescue stranded motorists. As weather conditions worsen in much of the higher elevation areas of Jackson County, it is important to avoid going off-road during th

Oregon State Police On Monday, December 6, 2021, an ODFW biologist was sampling commercially caught Dungeness crab at a seafood processing plant in Warrenton when they noticed numerous undersized crabs from one boat. The boat made a landing of 46,071 pounds of Dungeness crab, and the biologist’s samples suggested there was a large quantity of undersized crab in the offload. Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Troopers, along with 14 members of the United States Coast Guard Sector Columbia River, responded to the fish plant and started measuring the crab. In total, 11,778 pounds of crab were measured of which 2,682 pounds (over 22%) of the sampled crab were determined to be undersized. The value for the crab at the time of landing was $4.75 a pound, which would make the estimated value of undersized crab in this delivery to be over $49,000. In addition to not being allowed to retain female crab, the commercial size for the taking of male Dungeness crab in Oregon is 6 ¼ inches and has
