Grants Pass Police officers, while patrolling the Grants Pass Shopping Center, contacted two suspects sitting in a concealed area between Aaron's and Petco Saturday night.

One of the suspects refused to identify themselves and walked off west on NE D Street. Another officer recognized the suspect as Gabriel Feliciano, known from previous contacts.

He was known to have two serviceable warrants out of the police department charging him with First Degree Criminal Mischief, Second Degree Meth Possession, and Burglary in the Second Degree.

Feliciano was stopped and contacted by officers, who then took him into custody. After confirming Feliciano's identity, a consent search was conducted, revealing a glass pipe with burnt residue of a white crystallized substance in his jacket pocket.

The pipe tested presumptive positive for the presence of Methamphetamine, so a charge of Meth Possession was referred to the District Attorney's Office. Feliciano was then transported to the Josephine County Jail where he was lodged for his warrants.
