The Oregon State Police (OSP) is currently working a joint investigation with the Medford Police Department (MPD) on a Missing Person case. Kayla Lee YARBROUGH has not been seen since Thanksgiving 2016. Her family lives in Cave Junction and reported her missing in February of 2017.

Kayla is described as 20 years old, 5'02 and 130 pounds with red/strawberry blonde hair. See attached photo.

The Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division executed a search warrant early Sunday morning, concluding a year and half long investigation into the unlawful take of several black tail deer. Oregon State Police Troopers from the Albany and Roseburg area served a search warrant at a Winston address, where three sets of trophy black tail buck antlers and a center fire rifle were seized as evidence. David Barton, 28, of Winston, was cited and released on three counts of unlawful take/possession of buck deer. The search warrant was stemming from an investigation that showed Barton had killed several deer without any deer tags and was exceeding bag limits.

Oregon Parks and Recreation Department: State Parks (Safety Tip)

The ocean is strong enough to pick up even the biggest log and roll it down on top of you. Some logs may look small, but even the tiny ones can be waterlogged and weigh tons.

How to play it safe: If you see a log in the surf or on wet sand, stay off it.
