Police Make Arrests in Pumpkin Chucker Crime Spree

Over the last two months, several citizens and businesses in the Grants Pass area have been victims of multiple crime sprees where subjects had thrown pumpkins through car windows or smashed out windows with a baseball bat. Approximately 50 victims have been identified so far as a result of this crime spree. Detectives began working this complex investigation last week. Detectives received tips and information linking a vehicle to the crimes.

Upon further investigation, detectives located the vehicle and linked it to Jacob Solomon. Solomon was located and interviewed. Solomon was arrested and transported to the Josephine County Jail.

Adrian Ochoa was also identified as being involved with the crime spree. Ochoa came to the Grants Pass Police Department where he was interviewed by Detectives. Ochoa was arrested and transported to the Josephine County Jail. Both Solomon and Ochoa were lodged on multiple counts of Criminal Mischief 1 an 2.

Grants Pass Detectives expect more victims to come forward, and more charges will be forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office once all incidents have been reviewed.
