OSP Arrested GP Man Who Fled from Troopers on Highway 199 near Hayes Hill
The Oregon State Police arrested a Grants Pass man who fled from troopers when they tried to pull him over on Redwood Highway near Hayes Hill this week.
OSP reports troopers attempted to stop a Honda Accord driven by 34-year-old Jonathan Robert Davis near milepost 16 of US Highway 199 around midday on Tuesday.
Troopers said Davis fled south at a high rate of speed and they did not pursue him. Josephine County sheriff's deputies located the suspect vehicle in the Shop Smart parking lot in Cave Junction a short time later and alerted OSP.
According to OSP, Davis admitted to fleeing from law enforcement while driving at a high rate of speed and unsafe passing of other vehicles. He was subsequently placed into custody and his car was impounded.
Davis was transported to Grants Pass and lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Felony Attempt to Elude Police and Reckless Driving. He was being held without bail.
