GP Police Arrested Man Using Multiple False Names after Traffic Stop
A Grants Pass Police Deputy contacted a man during an area check in the Shari's parking lot late Sunday night.
The man drove away afterwards and the officer noticed the vehicle had expired registration. After observing the suspect pull into the Verizon parking lot on Terry Lane, the officer conducted a traffic stop.
The suspect proceeded to provide two false names, until finally identifying himself as Richard Wallace Carlyle II. The deputy found Carlyle was wanted for a serviceable Oregon State Parole Board felony warrant and a Driving While Suspended Misdemeanor.
A wooden knife, meth, and a syringe that tested positive for the presence of meth were located inside Carlyle's vehicle. The deputy took Carlyle into custody and lodged him in the Josephine County Jail for his warrant, Driving While Suspended, Possession of Meth, and Providing False Information.
