JoCo Sheriff's Office Apprehended Two Meth Possession Suspects in Separate Incidents

The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested two people wanted on meth possession warrants Wednesday afternoon.

At 12:15 p.m. at 134 S Redwood Highway, deputies contacted John Hruska at the backside of a building on the property. The owner of the location wanted him trespassed.

Deputies learned Hruska was wanted on a Grants Pass Police Department warrant for Meth Possession, so they took him into custody and lodged him in the Josephine County Jail. He was also trespassed from the location for a year.

Then at 2:13 p.m. at 200 S Caves Avenue, deputies contacted and detained Sarah Jaentsch. She had a Sheriff's Office warrant for Unlawful Possession of Meth, and was found to have drug paraphernalia, which deputies seized for destruction.

Jaentsch was transported and lodged in the Josephine County Jail on her warrant.
