The Oregon State Police arrested a Grants Pass man on outstanding warrants this week during an incident on Redwood Highway in Wilderville.

OSP reports troopers stopped with two suspicious vehicles at the intersection of US Highway 199 and Old Redwood Highway on Monday morning.

Cooper was placed into custody and transported to the Josephine County Jail where he was found to be in possession of methamphetamine. The narcotic was seized for destruction.

Cooper was lodged at the Josephine County Jail on the warrants while charges of Meth Possession and Supplying Contraband were referred to the District Attorney's Office for consideration.
