A Grants Pass woman was jailed for drug related offenses, by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office early Thursday.

A DCSO report said just after 1:30 a.m. 31-year old Megan Thomas was initially detained for failure to carry and present a license, and for providing false information to avoid a warrant, following a traffic stop on Interstate 5 near the Rice Valley exit in northern Douglas County. A 40-year old male passenger was also taken into custody on a warrant.

The report said during a search of the vehicle, a large amount of opiod pills were located. A quantity of suspected fentanyl, heroin and other controlled substances were located and sent off for testing.

Thomas was charged with unlawful possession and delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance, giving false information to a police officer, failure to carry and present a license, and for the warrants. Thomas was held without bail.

The passenger was transported by ambulance to CHI Mercy Medical Center for a medical emergency. He was cited and released at that location.
