A routine registration check led to the capture of a wanted fugitive from Utah.
On the morning of June 4, a Douglas police officer ran a registration check on a vehicle. Information on the vehicle’s owner, Sunshine Eagle, 23, of Wray, showed an active warrant in Utah County, Utah.
The vehicle pulled into the Walmart parking lot, where the officer made a traffic stop. Eagle was driving the vehicle. Officers contacted authorities in Utah County and they stated they wanted to place a hold on her.
Eagle was placed under arrest and was transported to the Coffee County Jail to await extradition to Utah. The incident report did not state for what violation
Eagle was wanted. Sources close to the investigation did not know, either.
