GP Police Snared Man on State Warrant after Strange Incident at Dollar General
Grants Pass Police jailed a man on a statewide felony warrant following a display of strange behavior outside a Redwood area retailer early yesterday.
According to the Police Department, officers responded to a trespassing call at the Dollar General store on Redwood Avenue on Wednesday shortly after 7 a.m..
Police said a store worker called 9-1-1 to report a male subject dancing around and talking to himself with his pants almost down to his knees directly in front of the business. The caller said they believed the man was under the influence of drugs.
Upon arrival, officers contacted the 28-year-old man and discovered that he was wanted on an Oregon State Parole Board warrant for Felony Parole Violation stemming from past burglary and theft convictions. A consent search found him to be in possession of two Dodge vehicle key fobs, which he claimed to have found the night before at Tussing Park. They were seized for safekeeping.
The suspect was lodged at the Josephine County Jail on the warrant and he was being held on a no-bail detainer.
