Marijuana grower robbed in Wimer Monday Dec 19, 2016 at 4:41 PM Dec 19, 2016 at 5:43 PM Grants Pass Daily Courier WIMER — A man at a marijuana grow site near Wimer reportedly was assaulted and robbed Friday, according to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. A worker showed up at the site in the 14000 block of East Evans Creek Road and found the worker's employer tied up and assaulted, Sgt. Rick Kennedy said Saturday. The victim was taken to a hospital with unspecified injuries. A security system had been disabled and the site was ransacked, Kennedy said. The suspects wore masks. They allegedly stole the homeowner's car, a dark blue 2012 Subaru Outback. A rented U-Haul truck was used to haul away items, although Kennedy declined to specify what was taken. The truck later was returned to a rental location in Medford. Possible charges in the case include first-degree robbery, first-degree assault, burglary, kidnapping and assault. On Monday morning, Capt. Tim Snaith of Jackson County Sheriff's Office said no arrests had been made and that no other information was available.
