GP Police Collared Out-of-State Fugitive after Shoplifting Call at 7-Eleven Store
Grants Pass Police apprehended an out-of-state fugitive while investigating a shoplifting complaint at a downtown convenience store early yesterday.
The Police Department reports officers arrested the 45-year-old male subject for the incident at 7-Eleven on SW 6th Street on Friday at about 1:20 a.m..
Police said the man intended to deprive the store of its property when he passed all points of sale with approximately $22 worth of items without paying for them. He was located and detained by the Oregon State Police while officers responded.
The suspect's identity was confirmed through dispatch and a routine records check showed that he was wanted on a Grants Pass warrant for failing to appear in court for 3rd-Degree Theft. It also showed that he was wanted as a fugitive from another unspecified state. No other details were available.
The suspect was lodged at the Josephine County Jail on the warrant along with the new Petty Theft charges. He was being held without bail.
