Page 2 SIGNIFICANT RECENT CASES United States District Court Judge Owen M. Panner sentenced Joshua Kenneth Devore, 34, of Grants Pass, to serve four years in federal prison after he pled guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. On November 13, 2010, a Grants Pass police officer contacted Devore walking on Redwood Avenue shortly after midnight. When the officer stopped to talk with Devore, he turned away from the officer, reached into his waistband, and threw an object into a ditch. The object turned out to be a loaded.22 caliber revolver. Devore also possessed a black slingstyle knife and a small amount of marijuana. Devore is a multiple convicted felon, with ten convictions for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, two convictions for felony attempt to elude, felon in possession of a firearm, identity theft, theft in the first degree, and four convictions for possession of methamphetamine. This case was investigated by the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas W. Fong. David Jon Rendon, 30, of Medford, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Owen M. Panner to 210 months in federal prison for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and felon in possession of a firearm. On July 16, 2010, Jackson County probation officers, assisted by Medford police, conducted a probation search of Rendon s apartment. Officers found a quarter pound of methamphetamine, MSM (a cutting agent), digital scales, ecstasy pills, Hydrocodone pills, cocaine, and a loaded Beretta 9mm handgun. The serial number on the handgun was obliterated. Due to defendant s extensive criminal history, Medford police referred the case to ATF for federal prosecution.
