GRANTS PASS, Ore. (Feb. 17, 2026) — Three men were arrested early Feb. 14 following an armed robbery in the parking lot of the Lil Pantry on Monument Drive, authorities said.
The robbery was reported at about 1:15 a.m., according to the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office. A 911 caller told dispatchers he had been robbed at gunpoint by two suspects in the parking lot of the convenience store.
The victim told deputies the suspects stole his shoes, pants and wallet. He also reported being struck on the head with the weapon before the suspects fled southbound on Interstate 5.
Deputies responded to the scene and interviewed the victim, who was later transported by ambulance to a local hospital. His condition was not immediately released.
A short time later, deputies located the suspect vehicle as it exited at the southbound Exit 55 before reentering the freeway and continuing south on I-5. Law enforcement conducted a high-risk traffic stop just south of the Rogue River exit. Three male occupants were ordered out of the vehicle and detained without incident.
After interviewing the occupants, deputies identified them as the robbery suspects: Ordee Martin, Manuel Martinez and Kevin Rhodes.
Authorities said a search of the vehicle uncovered a large amount of cash in the back seat.
Martin was arrested on charges of first-degree robbery and conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery. Martinez was arrested on charges of first-degree robbery, conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery and two outstanding felony warrants out of California for first-degree robbery. Rhodes was arrested on a charge of conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery.
All three were lodged in the Josephine County Adult Jail.
All suspects are believed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law
