JOSEPHINE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
PRESS RELEASE
Release Date: April, 14th, 2015
Sugar Pine Mine:
On Monday April 6th, 2015 at approximately 11:45 AM a member of the Bureau of Land Management Law Enforcement Division accompanied by a Josephine County Sheriff BLM Deputy contacted the claim owner of the Sugar Pine Mine at the site. The claim owner was provided a Notice of Noncompliance and paperwork to file an appeal by the BLM Ranger.
Since that time there has been a private security operation implemented that is being run by the Josephine County Oath Keepers to protect the claim owners 5th Amendment right to due process.
Sheriff Daniel in an attempt to mediate this conflict has contacted and met with the Coordinator of the Oath Keepers and the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Land Management out of Eugene. This was done to ensure the claim owner’s right to due process and avoid confrontation in the region. The Josephine County Sheriff’s Office was informed by the BLM that no enforcement action would be taken by their organization and the claim owner is guaranteed his right to due process. Further the BLM has met with the claim owner’s attorney to ensure the appeal process.
The Josephine County Sheriff’s Office wishes to express its intention to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Oregon to ensure the rights of all persons within Josephine County.
