GP Motorist Nabbed for Driving Recklessly from Redwood Area into Downtown

A Grants Pass motorist was arrested for driving recklessly from the Redwood area into the downtown area this week.

The Oregon State Police reports troopers eventually stopped a Kia K-5 driven by 20-year-old Dylan Michael Tucker on SE 7th Street late Wednesday night.

Troopers said they initially observed the Kia near Redwood Avenue and Redwood Highway. While attempting to catch up to the suspect vehicle, they said it sped excessively, cutting off other drivers and driving partially on the shoulder.

When OSP was close enough to stop the vehicle, it was reportedly crossing the 7th Street Bridge at 68 miles per hour.

Tucker was cited to appear in court for Reckless Driving and then released at the scene of the traffic stop.
