Warrant arrest/Heroin, Jan. 1

Hwy. 101, CCSO release – On 12/30/19 at approximately 3:01 PM, Deputies were dispatched to a disturbance in progress occurring at 62905 Highway 101 in Coos Bay, OR. Prior to the Deputies arrival, witnesses stated they observed a female suspect, later identified as 27 year old Jessica Lee Scott, forcefully take money from her father and shove him to the ground. Jessica then left the scene in the passenger seat of a tan Ford pickup along with a male driver. Upon checking Jessica’s warrant status, it was also determined she had a valid warrant for her arrest out of the Coos Bay Police Department for Failure to Appear in the 1st Degree. Deputies located the pickup at 4th and Lockhart in Coos Bay and initiated a traffic stop on the tan pickup. As they approached the passenger side window, Deputies identified Jessica from prior contacts and observed her bend over and begin to swallow small clear baggies of what appeared to be heroin. Deputies opened the door and advised Jessica was she was under arrest. As Deputies attempted to remove Jessica from the vehicle, she pulled away numerous times and attempted to re-enter the vehicle.  Deputies were able to take Jessica into custody, and stop her from ingesting any more heroin after taking her to the ground.
