We have been receiving new scam alerts from "MCSO employees" using number (503) 506-3500 (SINCH/VoIP number), where you can pay for your loved one to not go to jail. They ask you to go to markets and pay through digital currency machines. Reminder that we will not have you go anywhere but one of our offices to pay, and we don't accept digital currency.

Over the past month, Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputies have responded to a wide variety of calls involving illegal fi****ms, narcotics, impaired driving, and felony offenders throughout Marion County.

These incidents highlight the proactive work deputies do each day to keep dangerous weapons and drugs out of our communities.

🚨On April 27th, deputies responded to a possible burglary call in the Four Corners area. Deputies contacted Dustin Glenzer inside the residence after the homeowner, who was out of the country, advised no one should have been inside the home. During the investigation, deputies located five fi****ms accessible to Glenzer, who was identified as a convicted felon prohibited from possessing fi****ms. Glenzer was lodged at the Marion County Jail for Felon in Possession of Fi****ms.

🚨On May 3rd at approximately 1:30 a.m., a deputy conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle traveling over 90 mph on Interstate 5 near Center Street NE. Deputies arrested four occupants after locating multiple loaded fi****ms, fentanyl, co***ne, and restricted weapons inside the vehicle. Several of the occupants were convicted felons prohibited from possessing fi****ms.

Those arrested included:
• Stephanie Maneatis
• Dawson Dewolfe
• Joshua O’Sullivan
• Joshua Taylor

Charges included Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Possession of Controlled Substances, Hindering Prosecution, and multiple warrants.

🚨On May 16th at approximately 6:00 p.m., deputies responded to a serious injury crash on Hazelgreen Road NE. During the investigation, deputies developed probable cause to arrest Adanrolando Garcia for DUII. Deputies also learned Garcia was driving while suspended at the felony level. A search of the vehicle resulted in the discovery of a loaded, unserialized handgun. Garcia was lodged on charges including DUII (Felony), Driving While Suspended (Felony), Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Reckless Driving, and Reckless Endangering.

We are grateful for the continued dedication and proactive work of our patrol deputies and nightshift teams who work every day to keep Marion County safe.
