Meridian Police Ask for Public’s Help in Locating Wanted Fugitive
MERIDIAN- The Meridian Police Department is requesting the public’s help in locating wanted fugitive, thirty-year-old (30) Cody ROSE shown in the attached photo. The suspect and a passenger were involved in today’s police pursuit that originated out of Canyon County. At 11:04 AM, officers in Canyon County initiated a traffic stop on ROSE, but ROSE fled east on Hwy 44. Officers terminated their pursuit when the vehicle entered Ada County. It was last seen driving South bound on Linder road near Cayuse Creek Drive.
ROSE and his passenger later identified as forty-year-old (40) Marissa RILEY, were believed to have entered Paramount Subdivision located in the area of Chinden Blvd. and Linder Rd. Meridian Police Department quickly set up a perimeter to contain the suspect. During this time, three schools in the area were put into lockdown and then downgraded to hall check as a precautionary measure. After it was determined the suspects had fled the area, police broke down the perimeter and the schools were released from hall check.
ROSE’s vehicle is described as being a late nineties (90’s) black spray painted Tahoe with a maroon hood, the rear window broken, and a 1P Payette County license plate. ROSE is considered to be armed and dangerous.
The passenger, Marissa RILEY was later located attempting to leave the area in an Uber and taken into custody. RILEY is being charged with one (1) Misdemeanor Count Possession of a Controlled Substance and an Agents Warrant for Parole Violation.
If you have any information referencing this pursuit or the whereabouts of ROSE, please contact the Meridian Police Department at #208-846-7300. The Meridian Police Department would like to thank media and the public for their assistance with this investigation.
