Oregon Road Conditions & Cams Email Story to a Friend February 7, 2006 Suspect faces charges for meth, cocaine Meth Watch: 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. Eddie Morris Jackson is wanted by Medford police for failure to appear in Jackson County Circuit Court on charges of possessing meth and possessing, delivering and manufacturing cocaine. Jackson was arrested and indicted in August but posted bail and was released from jail. A warrant was issued when he didn’t appear for a scheduled November court date. Jackson is described as a 31-year-old black man standing 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 185 pounds. He has black hair, brown eyes, pierced ears and a scar on his head caused by a bullet. The words "Jamie, Jeffery, Alita, Carrie and Yvette" are tattooed on Jackson’s chest and the word "Kimberly" on his shoulder. Jackson may be using aliases of Jason Elliott Riley, E-Money or X Bilal. The picture shown in today’s newspaper was taken in October. Advertisement If you have seen Jackson, 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-194. 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.
