Grants Pass Police arrested two people on outstanding warrants plus a drug charge early yesterday during a traffic stop in the north part of the city.
According to the Police Department, officers pulled over a minivan driven by 20-year-old Bruce Alan Hughes in the 1500-block of NW 6th Street after midnight on Tuesday. His passenger was identified as 40-year-old Leladawn Smith.
Police said they stopped the vehicle for several traffic violations and discovered that Hughes was wanted on a Josephine County felony warrant for Parole Violation stemming from recent conviction for drug possession.
Smith was found to be wanted on a Grants Pass warrant for failing to appear in court for 3rd-Degree Theft. During a consent search, she was also found to be in possession of methamphetamine.
Hughes and Smith were lodged in jail on their warrants while Smith was also charged with Meth Possession. Hughes was being held on a no-bail detainer.
