Officers Snared Uncooperative Motorist for DUII after Traffic Stop near GPHS
Grants Pass Police arrested an uncooperative motorist for impaired driving last night following a traffic stop near Grants Pass High School.
According to the Police Department, officers pulled over a black Dodge 4x4 pickup driven by a 22-year-old man near the corner of NE 8th and Olive streets on Tuesday at about 8:30 p.m..
Police said they stopped the vehicle because the young driver was doing several burnouts near the intersection of NE 8th and A streets. They said he exhibited signs of impairment, but refused to participate in field sobriety tests twice and requested the presence of an attorney.
A search warrant was obtained and the suspect was taken to Three Rivers Medical Center for a legal blood draw that documented a high level of impairment.
The suspect was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants. Due to his uncooperative nature, he was being held without bail. His vehicle was released to a neighbor.
