GP Police Arrested Woman on Warrant and for Possession of Fentanyl and Meth
Grants Pass Police arrested a woman with an active warrant and found her to be in possession of both fentanyl and methamphetamine.
On Sunday at 3:48 p.m., an officer recognized 33-year-old Hope Susan Hoover and knew she was wanted on an outstanding warrant. After confirming the warrant and Hoover's identity, the officer observed the tip of a small, clear baggie in her left pants pocket. The baggie was removed and contained a chalky white substance that Hoover admitted was fentanyl. The fentanyl had a gross weight of 7.9 grams.
Hoover was transported to the Josephine County Jail where -- during the booking process -- two more baggies were removed from her buttocks. One tested positive for fentanyl and the other tested positive for methamphetamine.
At that time, Hoover told deputies she swallowed four grams of fentanyl during her initial contact with officers. She was transported to Three Rivers Medical Center for evaluation and then returned to the jail where she was lodged on charges of Fentanyl and Meth Possession plus the out-of-county warrant. She was being held without bail.
