GP Police Jailed Woman on Statewide Felony Warrant for Violating Her Parole

Grants Pass Police jailed a woman on a statewide felony warrant after an early morning contact yesterday on the west side of the city.

The Police Department reports officers arrested 39-year-old Ciera Michelle Lokken near the corner of SW J and Alder streets on Thursday at 4:34 a.m..

Police said they spotted Lokken pushing a shopping cart at that location and they were familiar with her from frequent law enforcement contacts. She was wanted on an Oregon State warrant for Parole Violation stemming from a 2021 conviction for an unspecified weapon offense.

Lokken was placed into custody without incident and lodged at the Josephine County Jail on a no-bail detainer. Community service officers returned the cart to the business from which it was taken.

Jail records indicate Lokken has been arrested for violating her post-prison supervision at least nine times in the past year.
