DETAILS: On Tuesday 04/29/2025 at approximately 3:15pm, Deputies from the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the 5200 block of Dick George Road, Cave Junction, for a report of shots being fired at the location.

During the investigation it was reported that the subject, Blaine Case, arrived at the property and began firing multiple rounds from a handgun toward two individuals.  The two victims were fortunate and were not struck by gunfire, however, four bullet holes were observed in the building near where they were standing. After firing the rounds, the victims reported Case fled the scene and deputies began searching the surrounding area. During the search for Case, a second call came in from a neighboring resident reporting his ATV had just been stolen by an unknown male subject. 

Information that Case was possibly residing on Holland Loop Road, Cave Junction, lead Deputies, with the assistance of Oregon State Police, to that location.  When Deputies arrived, they observed the stolen ATV on the property.  After a short standoff, Case exited the residence and was taken into custody without further incident and the stolen ATV was returned to the owner.

Blaine Case was lodged at the Josephine County Jail on the charges listed above.

No further information will be released at this time.
