Deputies with the Josephine County Sheriff's Office lodged a man wanted on three warrants Tuesday.

The suspect was detained at 9:13 a.m. in the 100 block of S Redwood Highway. He was observed while driving and reportedly turned quickly to avoid the deputy. The vehicle had expired tags, and the suspect was later seen walking away after parking.

The deputy recognized him as Luke Mulligan, and knew he was driving while suspended. Upon contact with the deputy, Mulligan admitted to being in possession of methamphetamine. He was promptly taken into custody and transported to jail.

Mulligan was not only lodged for Driving While Suspended and Meth Possession, but for three warrants. Two from the Sheriff's Office, and one out of the Grants Pass Police Department. Charges against him included First Degree Theft, Driving While Suspended, and Identity Theft.

A search of his vehicle was conducted. Items located inside were returned to family of Mulligan, and the deputy arranged for the vehicle's removal.
