Each week, Meth Watch will focus on a person wanted by Jackson or Josephine county law-enforcement agencies for delivery and/or manufacture of methamphetamine. David Richard Bell, born Sept. 22, 1958, is a felon with outstanding warrants issued by the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety for the manufacture and delivery of methamphetamine. These warrants and additional warrants on Bell are extraditable in Washington, California, Idaho, Nevada and Montana. Bell is described as a white male, 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing about 240 pounds. Bell has an unknown tattoo on his right shoulder and scars on his right knee, right finger and left foot. Advertisement He either is missing a finger or has a deformity on his right hand. The picture shown in today’s paper was taken in January 1999. If you have seen David Richard Bell, or have information of his whereabouts, please contact Crime Stoppers of Southern Oregon at 800-3-DETECT (800-333-8328) and refer to case No. MT/MW-115. Crime Stoppers will pay a reward up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest in this case or any other unsolved criminal activity. Callers can remain anonymous. The reward is sponsored by Sonitrol of Southern Oregon. In conjunction with Meth Watch, the Mail Tribune compiles weekly statistics to demonstrate the effects of methamphetamine on our community.
