Comment DailyTidings.com Writer Posted Feb. 21, 2014 at 3:25 PM Updated Feb 21, 2014 at 3:26 PM Posted Feb. 21, 2014 at 3:25 PM Updated Feb 21, 2014 at 3:26 PM »  Social News A manhunt Thursday night led to the arrest of a 43-year-old Wolf Creek man on charges he was involved in $250,000 worth of damage to mountaintop communication towers in Jackson, Douglas and Josephine counties. A Jackson County grand jury indicted Ian Anthony Fleming on four counts of burglary and four counts of aggravated theft. The indictment followed an investigation into burglaries, vandalism and thefts at buildings owned by the Oregon Department of Transportation, Pacific Power, the Federal Aviation Administration, television stations and other agencies in the King Mountain area. Fleming's arrest came after a lengthy search near Wolf Creek when the suspect ran from a vehicle into the woods. Oregon State Police, a Grants Pass police K-9 unit and Bureau of Land Management officers arrested Fleming Thursday night. A trooper found a broken-down pickup at the side of the roadway that matched a vehicle description. A man and two women were seen fleeing into the woods away from the pickup. After a five-hour search, the officers found Fleming and the two women. One of the women, Mariah Jean Boyer, 21, of Wolf Creek, was arrested for an outstanding drug warrant. The other woman, who wasn't identified by OSP, was released. The OSP began its investigation on June 22, 2013, after a report of vandalism to an ODOT repeater site. During the investigation, the OSP discovered other thefts and vandalism at other towers. — Damian Mann DailyTidings.com Writer Posted Feb. 21, 2014 at 3:25 PM Updated Feb 21, 2014 at 3:26 PM » Comment or view comments   Reader Reaction »  STAY INFORMED   Email NewsLetter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. calendar Connect with DailyTidings.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Alerts Email alerts RSS feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Stay Informed   Email newsletter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
