Suspect Found with Syringes at Resting Site, Lodged by GP Police

Officers with the Grants Pass Police Department apprehended a woman Tuesday on two warrants at Resting Site 6 North.

The suspect, Brittany Demars, was observed leaving the 714 NW 6th Street by law enforcement around 1:59 p.m. She had two active warrants out for her arrest, and officers quickly made contact and took her into custody.

She would not confirm her identity and did not consent to a search, but officers recognized her and, during a pat down, identified syringes in her pockets. One contained a white crystalline residue that tested positive for Methamphetamine.

Officers found other drug items on Demars' person bearing drug residue. According to Josephine County Jail records, she was lodged on charges including Meth and Fentanyl Possession, two counts of Third Degree Theft, Resisting Arrest, Second Degree Criminal Mischief, and Attempt to Commit a Crime.
