On Tuesday, November 19, members of the Basin Interagency Narcotics Enforcement Team (BINET) arrested 46 year old Chiloquin resident Anthony DeBortoli in the 500 Block of South Third Avenue in Chiloquin, Oregon, regarding distributing Methamphetamine in Klamath County. BINET has been investigating DeBortoli as an upper-level Methamphetamine supplier in the Klamath Basin. BINET, along with the Oregon State Police (OSP) Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team, served a search warrant at his Chiloquin residence during the early morning hours of November 19. DeBortoli attempted to evade capture by law enforcement for more than three hours by hiding in the crawl space of the residence. OSP SWAT located him and safely took him into custody. BINET searched DeBortoli’s residence and seized more than two pounds of suspected Methamphetamine, United States Currency believed to be the proceeds of sales of Methamphetamine, evidence of distribution of controlled substances, and nine firearms.

It was a snow day for most of the Klamath County School District yesterday (Wednesday). Only Merrill, Malin, and Lost River schools were open. Both Henley and Mazama in Klamath Falls canceled classes. Oregon Tech canceled classes as of 11am yesterday as well. The “bomb cyclone” that affected all of Oregon, Washington and some of Northern California created travel nightmares in the area, however. Northbound Interstate 5 was CLOSED to all vehicles and trucks at Fawndale, 10 miles north of Redding.outhbound Interstate 5 is CLOSED to all vehicles and trucks at Edgewood, approximately 21 miles south of Yreka. Northbound and Southbound Interstate 5 was CLOSED to all vehicles and trucks at between milepost 0-11 in Oregon (going over Siskiyou Summit). Oregon 66 was CLOSED east of Ashland all the way to Klamath Falls. Oregon 273 iwas CLOSED between OR-66 and I-5. State Route 3 iwasCLOSED at Scott Mountain, and All southbound lanes of U.S. 97 was CLOSED, just south of Macdoel, due to snow, leaving the truck stops overflowing here in Klamath Falls.

Recent heavy snow means the Willamette Pass Ski Area will open Friday for a bonus weekend. Located off Highway 58 in northern Klamath County, Willamette Pass has received more than 22 inches of fresh snow. Ski hill managers said the snow combined with snowmaking efforts, means the area will open earlier than planned. It had been scheduled to open for downhill skiing and snowboarding Dec. 12. The opening is the earliest since 2003. Hours Friday through Sunday will be 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Ticket prices begin at $19. There will be limited offerings — no rentals, no lessons, skiing/riding on the lower mountain only with the Twilight and Sleepy Hollow lifts. The lodge will be open and serving food. When the area fully opens in coming weeks, Willamette Pass will offer 1,563 feet of vertical terrain with runs for beginners to experts. The area has five chair lifts and a network of 29 trails.

A new legal filing in a $337-million drug diversion lawsuit against Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center shows the Medford hospital is filing a document to shift itself from the sole defendant in the case to a plaintiff, identifying its former nurse Dani Marie Schofield as the defendant. Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center (Asante and/or RRMC) filed a court document to make itself a plaintiff in a Jackson County Circuit Court case filed by Medford law firm Shlesigner & deVilleneuve for 20 original plaintiffs. The original filing claims those plaintiffs were Asante patients whose medical conditions worsened because of accused drug diversion at the hospital. The civil case originally listed only Asante as a defendant, a practice that repeated through a few amended complaint filings to add plaintiff/s and to revise the damage amount, raising it from $303,285,000 to $337,785,000.
