JoCo Deputies Arrested Man for Felony Elude Following Vehicle Pursuit
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested a man following a vehicle pursuit Tuesday morning.
At 3:29 am, deputies initiated a traffic stop near the intersection of Highway 199 and Lone Mountain Road on a red GMC Sonoma pickup. The truck had no front license plate, and the rear license plate was partially obscured.
The driver, identified as Gavin Moore, had a felony warrant for Distribution of Methamphetamine. When Moore was told he was under arrest and to turn off the truck, he fled the scene out Lone Mountain Road.
Moore soon slid off the roadway. He initially placed his hands out the windows to give up, but then backed his truck towards deputy vehicles until his truck slid sideways and again got stuck in the ditch.
Moore subsequently complied with commands and exited the truck where he was taken into custody without further incident. Moore was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Felony Attempting to Elude, Reckless Driving, and on his warrant.
