GRANT COUNTY – We’re expecting more information on an incident mentioned by Grant County Sheriff Todd McKinley recently on an episode of Coffee Time.
On Monday, June 29th, emergency medical services were dispatched to an area near Middle Fork Campground for a male bleeding and needing assistance.
Here’s what the Sheriff had to say:
“Had an individual show up on Monday [June 29th] out on the Middle Fork that was in distress. The road department was able to contact dispatch and get emergency services out there. The gentleman was actually on the run from the Springfield/Eugene area, and was wanted and was taken into custody. There will be more out on that later. It fortunately was resolved efficiently and taken care of.”
The individual’s name, nor any further information have been released. We’ll provide further details as soon as they come available. Listen to the full podcast with Sheriff McKinley below:
