Deputies Incarcerated Young Motorcyclists for Speeding Away from Traffic Stop
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested two young motorcyclists this week for speeding away from deputies just north of Grants Pass.
According to the Sheriff's Office, deputies attempted to stop one of the motorcycle riders for a traffic violation on Highland Avenue on Tuesday night.
Deputies said the motorcyclists refused to yield, turned onto Donaldson Road and sped away. They pursued the suspects until one of them eventually pulled over at Surrey Drive. He was placed into custody at gunpoint while the other motorcyclist turned around and was also placed into custody.
The 19- and 18-year-old suspects were lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Felony Attempt to Elude Police and Reckless Driving. Both motorcycles were towed to the impound yard. At least one of them had no license plates.
