Deputies Captured Northern California Fugitive in Downtown CJ Patrol Check

The Josephine County Sheriff's Office captured a fugitive out of northern California this week during a patrol check in downtown Cave Junction.

The Sheriff's Office reports deputies contacted and arrested 59-year-old Scott Seaman in the 500-block of East River Street early Wednesday.

Deputies said they spotted Seaman sitting in a vehicle at that location. During a routine records check, they discovered he was wanted on two Siskiyou County felony warrants for failing to appear in court for Felon in Possession of a Firearm and for failing to appear in court for narcotics possession.

Seaman had also been listed as a missing person by the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office.

After the warrants were confirmed, Seaman was transported to Grants Pass and lodged at the Josephine County Jail on the warrants. He was being held without bail pending extradition proceedings that will send him back to Siskiyou County.
