A woman was arrested on two out-of-county warrants following a medical episode Sunday morning.

Grants Pass Police observed the suspect, Megan Mitchell, walking northbound on 6th in front of the 7-Eleven. She was known by law enforcement to have two valid and serviceable warrants out of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

Charges against Mitchell included Assault, Third Degree Theft, and a Computer Crime. Officers soon contacted her in front of Gates Furniture and Mattress and took her into custody.

Mitchell began having a medical episode while in the back of the patrol vehicle. She was unconscious, but breathing ok when AMR arrived and transported her to a hospital. She was medically released, then transported to and lodged in the Josephine County Adult Jail Facility on her warrants.
