A Bay City-area man wanted out of Jackson County was arrested by an Oregon State Police (OSP) trooper after resisting arrest Thursday morning during a traffic stop south of Bay City.
On March 4, 2010 at approximately 9:40 a.m. an OSP trooper stopped a Nissan Pathfinder for a speed violation on Highway 101 near milepost 61. After identifying the driver as ROOSEVELT JOHNSON, age 51, from Bay City, the trooper learned he was wanted on outstanding warrants out of Jackson County for Resisting Arrest, Menacing, and Interfering with an Officer.
When the trooper advised JOHNSON he was to be taken into custody, JOHNSON resisted arrest. The trooper used pepper spray to gain his compliance and was able to take JOHNSON into custody after a brief struggle.
JOHNSON was initially taken to Tillamook General Hospital for a medical evaluation and then released to OSP custody. He was lodged in the Tillamook County Jail on the three above listed warrants and a local charge of Resisting Arrest.
Neither the trooper nor JOHNSON was injured.
