Deputies Nabbed Young Motorist for DUII after Weekend Traffic Stop West of GP
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested a young motorist for impaired driving following a weekend traffic stop west of Grants Pass.
The Sheriff's Office reports deputies pulled over a Buick Envista driven by a 19-year-old man on Lower River Road near Needlewood Drive on Saturday around 3:20 a.m..
Deputies said they stopped the Buick for observed traffic violations and the driver displayed signs of impairment. They said he refused to perform field sobriety tests, so a search warrant was obtained and he was taken to Three Rivers Medical Center for a legal blood draw that documented a high level of impairment.
The suspect was subsequently lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants and Reckless Driving. His car was impounded.
According to the report, there were three passengers in the vehicle at the time of the traffic stop. Two of them arranged for rides while the third was given a courtesy ride home.
