Oregon Road Conditions & Cams Email Story to a Friend October 4, 2005 Meth Watch: Suspect missed scheduled court date EDITOR’S NOTE: Crime Stoppers of Southern Oregon, in cooperation with the Mail Tribune and KTVL Channel 10, is participating in "Meth Watch," a program intended to combat the manufacture and sales of methamphetamine in Southern Oregon. 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. Michael David Winger is wanted by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department for failure to appear in Jackson County Circuit Court on charges of delivering and manufacturing meth and two counts of possessing meth. He was indicted in January in the case, and because he failed to make a scheduled court date, a warrant was issued for his arrest. Bail on the warrant is $10,000. Winger is described as a white man, 32 years old, 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing approximately 250 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. He has the phrase "Ducks Unlimited" tattooed on his upper right arm, a tattoo of Mickey Mouse on the right side of his chest, and the words "Ivy" and Cheyenne" on the left side of his chest. Winger’s last known address was in Weed, Calif. The picture shown in today’s newspaper was taken in December. If you have seen Winger, or have information of his whereabouts, please contact Crime Stoppers of Southern Oregon at 800-3-DETECT (800-333-8328) and refer to case MT/MW-157. Advertisement Crime Stoppers will pay a reward of 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.
