On February 23, 2017, at about 9:00 a.m., TY RAY NUNES, age 34, from Grants Pass was taken into custody after a brief standoff in Josephine County. NUNES has been the subject of an extensive search for many months because of the numerous criminal activities he has been involved in, to include Felony Eludes, Robberies, Federal Warrants and Narcotics. The Oregon State Police learned NUNES may be at a residence in the 700 block of Cienaga Lane in Josephine County and responded to the area. Additional law enforcement also responded and assisted in taking NUNES into custody after a brief standoff. During the past few weeks law enforcement arrested seven other individuals while attempting to locate and arrest NUNES.
