GP Fugitive Captured in Cambodia
A Grants Pass fugitive, wanted since 2019, has been captured in Cambodia due to the partnership of the Josephine County Sheriff’s office and the U.S. Marshals Service.
Over the last several months, the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office Crimes Analyst has been working with the United States Marshals Service in an attempt to locate Shawn Higbee, who is facing the charge of Sodomy 1.
It was discovered by the Sheriff’s office analyst that Higbee had fled to Cambodia and had been there for several years. Higbee’s exact location was pinpointed through the dedicated hard work, training and experience of the analyst. That information was relayed to the Marshal’s Service, who turned the information over to their international apprehension team.
On December 17th, 2024, Higbee was taken into custody. Higbee is currently lodged in a Cambodian jail and is awaiting extradition back to the United States.
Once in country, he will be transported to the Josephine County Jail to face further prosecution regarding the crime of Sodomy 1.
At the time of this press release, no further details are being released.
