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. Tony Paulo Vaa is wanted by Medford police for violating probation conditions on 2003 convictions of delivering meth and first-degree child neglect. A warrant for his arrest was issued in August. Vaa is described as a 27-year-old Asian man standing 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing approximately 185 pounds. He has black hair, brown eyes and several body piercings, including his left ear. Three dots are tattooed on his left wrist, the word "crisp" on his left hand and the word "Anita" on his upper right arm. He also has scars on his left leg and right hand and a 20-inch scar on the inside of his right leg. He may be using the aliases of T-Bone Vaa or Tony Jaa. The picture shown here was taken in January 2004.
