Man Cited for Drugs and Arrested On Felony Warrant by OSP

Oregon State Police apprehended a suspect hitchhiking on Interstate 5 Sunday afternoon.

Troopers observed Zacharey Costa on the shoulder of I-5 at milepost 77. They knew he was wanted on a felony warrant, so they placed him into custody.

While conducting a search for weapons and means of escape, approximately three grams of methamphetamine were found on Costa's person. He was given a criminal citation for the drugs.

Troopers subsequently lodged Costa in the Josephine County Jail on his warrant for Third Degree Theft and Robbery, and Meth Possession.
