In two separate events, deputies arrested three burglars over the last two days. On Sunday, March 19, 2017, at approximately 7:00 pm, a deputy was dispatched to a report of a burglary in progress in the 600-block of E. Third Avenue in Riddle. When the deputy arrived, he observed the suspect in a camper on the property. The suspect refused the deputy’s orders to surrender and began running. The deputy captured the suspect, 25 year old William McGarvey of Myrtle Creek. McGarvey was lodged at the Douglas County Jail for Burglary II, Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine, Escape, Probation Violations and Warrants. At approximately 2:50 am, a deputy conducting patrol observed a suspicious vehicle parked at the back corner of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Canyonville. The deputy checked on the vehicle and noticed property outside of the vehicle, which was unoccupied. Deputies entered the building and found two female suspects inside. 35 year old Amy S Meyer of Canyonville and 32 year old Sara R Raatz (aka Sara Spangler) of Riddle were taken into custody without incident. Both Raatz and Meyer were found to be in possession of methamphetamine. Meyer was lodged for Burglary II, Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine and Theft III. Raatz was lodged on charges of Burglary II and Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine.
