Traffic Stop Results in Out-of-County Warrant, Weapon Charge Arrest
Josephine County Sheriff's deputies arrested a man on an out-of-county theft warrant and weapon charges following a traffic stop.
Deputies pulled over a Honda CRV at the corner of Cashmere Drive and Kellenbeck Avenue Thursday at 9:52 a.m. The driver was stopped for making an illegal U-Turn and having an unreadable month sticker on his license plate.
He was identified as James Branson, and deputies found he was wanted out of the Eagle Point Police Department. Branson had a warrant out for his arrest charging him with Misdemeanor Theft in the Second Degree. He was also charged with two counts of Felon in Possession of a Weapon.
Despite Branson's threats, he was successfully transported to the Josephine County Adult Jail Facility. Jail records show he was only lodged on one Weapon Possession charge and his warrant.
