Two Separate Suspects Recognized by GP Police Lodged on Warrants
Grants Pass Police lodged two suspects on warrants in separate cases Monday afternoon.
The first suspect, Dereck Fry, was stopped by law enforcement for illegal display around 2:38 p.m. at the corner of NE 7th Street and NE Hillcrest Drive. Upon contact with Fry, he was reportedly hostile and had a loaded firearm sitting in front of him.
The officer recognized Fry and knew he was wanted on a Josephine County Sheriff's Office warrant for Unlawful Use of a Weapon. His arms were restrained at the scene until additional units arrived. Officers took Fry into custody and lodged him in jail for his warrant.
Not long after, police took Cody Lutrell into constructive custody at the Oilstop Drive-Thru around 2:54 p.m. He was known by the officer to have a warrant out of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office for Driving Under the Influence, so he was taken into custody.
His parole officer requested a detainer, and law enforcement proceeded to lodge Lutrell in the Adult Jail Facility for his warrant and detainer.
