GP Police Nabbed Woman Wanted on Local Warrant during Burglary Probe
Grants Pass Police apprehended a woman wanted on a local felony warrant while investigating an attempted burglary at a vacant commercial building last night.
The Police Department reports officers responded to a possible break-in to a building in the 1300-block of SW Foundry Street on Tuesday at about 7:20 p.m..
Police said a caller reported two male transients on bicycles tampering with a door to the building. The men apparently did not gain entry and rode away on their bikes to a nearby transient camp at the end of SW Eastern Avenue.
Officers responded and tracked down the suspects at the illegal camp on railroad property. They contacted a total of seven people including a 35-year-old woman who was found to be wanted on a Grants Pass felony warrant for Probation Violation related to an arrest for Felon in Possession of a Weapon.
The woman was placed into custody and lodged at the Josephine County Jail where she was being held on $25,000 bail.
All seven campers were trespassed from the railroad property.
