The Oregon State Police jailed a suspect on a total of 12 criminal charges after he fled from a traffic stop in east Grants Pass this week.
OSP reports troopers eventually arrested 38-year-old Justin Reid Carr in the 2,000-block of NE Fairview Avenue on Monday morning.

They said he was subdued and the pickup was found to be stolen, with an undisclosed weapon in plain sight. Carr is a convicted felon prohibited from possessing any weapons.
During a search of the stolen pickup, felony amounts of methamphetamine and fentanyl were found along with drug paraphernalia and packaging materials. They were seized as evidence and for eventual destruction.
Carr was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for two counts of Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle; Possession of a Stolen Vehicle; Manufacture, Possession and Delivery of Meth; Manufacture, Possession and Delivery of Fentanyl; Unlawful Possession of Marijuana; Attempting to Elude Police on Foot; and 2nd-Degree Criminal Mischief.
Carr was being held without bail and the stolen vehicle was towed to a local impound yard.
