Deputies Snared Man on GP Warrant while Investigating Transient Camp
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested a man on an outstanding warrant after contacting him at a transient camp near Grants Pass late last week.
According to the Sheriff's Office, deputies were alerted to a transient camp near the 2500-block of Foothill Boulevard by a property owner on Friday morning.
Deputies said the caller reported there were two squatters with a campsite on his property which overlooks Interstate 5 just east of the city. The callers said he first noticed the squatters coming and going from the campsite about a month ago.
Law enforcement accessed the illegal campsite east of Exit 55 of I-5 and contacted 44-year-old Brandon J. Buchholz. A routine records check showed he was wanted on a Grants Pass warrant for failing to appear in court for 2nd-Degree Theft and 2nd-Degree Criminal Mischief. He was lodged in jail on the outstanding warrant.
Buchholz and the other male transient were given two days to gather their property and move along.
