On Tuesday, April 26, 2016, at about 3:45 a.m., a deputy patrolling the Riddle area noticed a vehicle that matched the description of a stolen Jeep Wrangler that had been reported earlier in the day. The deputy attempted to stop the Jeep but the driver, who was later identified as 30 year old David Schlenker of Roseburg, fled westbound on Fourth Avenue. Deputies pursued the vehicle through Riddle to Pacific Highway and then onto Interstate 5 northbound. As Schlenker attempted to exit Interstate 5 at the 113 off-ramp, the vehicle stalled. Schlenker fled from the vehicle on foot but was was taken into custody a short distance from the vehicle. A 20 year old female passenger, Jasmine Baldwin of Riddle, was also taken into custody. Both Schlenker and Baldwin were found to be in possession of Methamphetamine. Schlenker was charged with Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle, Possession of a Stolen Vehicle, Elude, Reckless Driving, Reckless Endangering and Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine. Baldwin was charged with Possession of a Stolen Vehicle and Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine. Both subjects were lodged in the County Jail.
