Escaped youth facility inmate captured in Provo, Utah
On September 12th, The Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) and the Oregon State Police requested the public’s assistance in locating a subject who escaped the Tillamook Youth Correction Facility.
On Wednesday Joshua GARVIN was located and arrested in Provo, Utah. According to Provo Utah Police, they received a tip that GARVIN was at a shelter in their city. When officers arrived at the shelter, GARVIN fled on foot, and after a brief chase was arrested without incident. GARVIN will be held in Utah pending extradition back to Oregon, and no doubt to a longer period of higher security incarceration than before he decided to run.
