Oregon State Police contacted a motorist near milepost 64 on SB Interstate 5 around 10:03 a.m. Wednesday.

Troopers were able to detain the suspect, and identified him as Jason Sauer, 50, of White City. Upon further investigation, he was found to be wanted on five felony warrants, and a parole board warrant.
Sauer was lodged in the Josephine County Jail for the warrants, plus additional charges of Furnishing False Information to Police, and Attempt to Elude. His vehicle was towed from the scene.
