Woman arrested on multiple charges and warrants

On Sunday, April 28th, 2024, at approximately 12:31 pm, Deputy M.R. Smith was notified of a theft at the Spinreel day-use area. An individual reported a 5-gallon gas can stolen from their truck.

Deputy Smith reviewed surveillance footage from the surrounding area and identified a suspect vehicle—a green minivan with a distinctive missing hubcap. The vehicle was located and stopped at around 1:34 p.m. on Wildwood Drive near Tugman State Park.

The driver initially provided a false name but admitted to the theft. The suspect was arrested for Theft in the Third Degree and Unlawful Entry into a Motor Vehicle and was processed at the Coos County Jail under the false identity.

After release, fingerprint analysis revealed the suspect’s true identity, Carie Hobbs (49). Carie was re-arrested for providing false information and resisting arrest, in addition to facing multiple warrants out of Douglas County. Carie was also charged with Initiating a False Report after she made false claims that required an Emergency Medical response.

Carie is currently in custody of the Coos County Jail, pending the resolution of local charges before addressing out-of-county warrants.
