Grants Pass Police Department 

On October 24, 2022, at approximately 11:33 AM, Grants Pass Police Officers responded to “Udders Ice Cream and Gelato,” at 1893 NE 7^th Street, to the report of an attempted carjacking.  It was discovered that a white male adult used force against a 66-year-old female resident of Grants Pass when he attempted to physically remove her from her vehicle by pulling on her arm as she was seated in the driver’s seat.  The male suspect also attempted to grab the keys for the vehicle.  Two male citizens came to the aid of the female victim which prevented the furtherance of the suspect’s attack.  The female victim sustained minor injuries due to the attack. 

The male suspect was described as a white male adult in his 20’s.  The male had short brown hair, a slender build, and was wearing blue jeans, boots, and a dark hooded sweatshirt from Diamond Lake.  The back of the sweatshirt read, “To Fish or Not to Fish.”  After an extensive area search, the male suspect was not located, but evidence was discovered nearby.  

The Grants Pass Police Department would like to thank those who assisted the victim by intervening during this crime and would ask for further public assistance in attempting to identify the male in the attached photo.  Anyone with more information about this case is asked to contact the Grants Pass Police Department and reference case number: 22-46794.
