Man Arrested for PV Detainer, Meth Charge following Search by GP Police

Grants Pass Police officers arrested a man for a drug charge and Parole Violation detainer following a brief search.

The suspect was initially contacted while leaving a camp set up at 1506 NW 6th Street around 11:41 a.m. He was identified as Ian Hogue, and according to the police report, 10 minutes later, he circled the nearby Iguana Comics while officers attempted to relocate him.

Hogue's parole officer requested a detainer if police contacted Hogue again, and he was later seen near the church parking lot by the Oregon State Police office at 1360 NE 9th Street.

Officers contacted Hogue while he was sitting on a curb, and he was placed into custody. During a consent search of his person, officers located a glass bulb pipe with a burnt residue that tested presumptive positive for methamphetamine.

Hogue was subsequently transported to and lodged in the Adult Jail Facility on his detainer and a charge of Meth Possession. He was provided a property receipt for his backpack, and jail logs show the District Attorney hasn't filed Hogue's drug charge.
