OSP Identifies Driver Suspected of Eluding Troopers This Week in South GP
The Oregon State Police believes it knows the name of a motorist who eluded troopers in south Grants Pass this week.
State troopers initiated a traffic stop on a Toyota SR5 for a traffic violation at the intersection of Redwood Highway and Redwood Avenue at 12:48 p.m. Thursday.
Troopers said the male driver failed to yield and then picked up speed in an attempt to elude. Officers turned off their overhead lights and sirens, refusing to pursue the suspect due to public safety concerns.
OSP has reasonable suspicion to believe that the driver is the registered owner of the vehicle due to a follow-up investigation and statements made by the driver's grandparents. The agency identified the driver as 27-year-old Hunter Allan Kearns of Grants Pass.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Kearns is encouraged to dial *OSP.
