On March 12th, 2024, at approximately 1:20 pm, Deputy B. Freerksen responded to a report of unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle at the Joe Ney dump site. The victims, who had camped overnight in the vicinity, reported the theft of black boots with green soles valued at $60, various tools totaling $100, and a $150 power inverter from their parked vehicle. A green SUV resembling an old Pathfinder was seen leaving the area around 11:00 am, driven by a female. The road department provided photos capturing the suspect vehicle departing the scene at the time of the theft. Deputy Freerksen later spotted a vehicle matching the description and conducted a traffic stop on Joe Ney Rd due to improper display and expired registration. The driver, identified as Amber Swenson (41), was informed of the reason for the stop and that she was not free to leave due to an ongoing investigation. During the interaction, stolen items were seen in the back of the vehicle through the window. Sgt. J. Boswell arrived on the scene to assist with the investigation. Ms. Swenson admitted to taking the items from the vehicle. She was arrested for Theft and Unlawful Entry in a Motor Vehicle and transported to the Coos County Jail to be booked & released.
