Deputies Collared Local Fugitives during Weekend Patrol Check in Illinois Valley

The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested two men on outstanding warrants during a weekend patrol check in the Illinois Valley.

The Sheriff's Office reports deputies contacted 44-year-old Justin Dwaine Eidem and 54-year-old David Lesley Ingram near the intersection of Happy Camp and Takilma roads on Saturday around 11:35 a.m..

Deputies said Eidem and Ingram were cutting firewood without permits and both were warned for Unlawful Collection of Forest Products. It was determined that Ingram was wanted on a Jackson County warrant for failing to appear in court for Probation Violation related to 3rd-Degree Theft. He was placed into custody.

Eidem reportedly gave deputies a false name -- but once his true identity was revealed, it was determined that he was wanted on a Jackson County warrant for Probation Violation related to 4th-Degree Domestic Assault. He was charged with Furnishing False Information to Police and placed into custody.

Justin Eidem and David Ingram were transported to Grants Pass and lodged at the Josephine County Jail on no-bail probation detainers. Their vehicle was towed.
