GPPD Captured Man Wanted by Coos Bay Police for Three Felony-Level Crimes
Grants Pass Police apprehended a man wanted by the Coos Bay Police Department for multiple felony-level crimes over the weekend.
The Police Department reports officers arrested the 32-year-old male suspect in the 1500-block of Cloverlawn Drive on Saturday at 1:12 p.m..
Police said they were contacted by Coos Bay PD with information that the suspect was in the Grants Pass area and he was wanted for crimes including Aggravated Identity Theft, 1st-Degree Theft, Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle and Escape. The suspect was believed to be in possession of a firearm and he had previously barricaded himself inside a house when contacted by law enforcement.
Officers carefully approached the Cloverlawn Drive residence and they were able to place the wanted man into custody without incident. No firearm was located.
The suspect was transported to Roseburg to meet with Coos Bay police officers who transported him to their jurisdiction. The Josephine County Jail refused to lodge the suspect, so GPPD made the arrangement to keep this dangerous man off local streets.
