GP Police Jailed Man for Weekend Domestic Violence Incident on SE Grandview
Grants Pass Police jailed a man for a weekend domestic violence incident in the southeast part of the city.
The Police Department reports officers arrested 43-year-old Gerald L. Proffit for the incident in the 800-block of SE Grandview Avenue on Saturday at 10:45 p.m..
Police said Proffit and a woman were involved in a physical altercation when he threw a fan at her and struck her while she was in the bathroom of the home. They said the woman went to grab her purse in the hallway when Profitt shoved her to the floor and pushed an electric scooter at her. He then struck her with his fists and kicked her while she was down before dragging her into the dining room.
Upon arrival, officers noted the female victim had bruises, abrasions, small cuts and lacerations from the altercation -- but she refused medical attention. A broken fan was located in the bathroom and blood was located on the wall as well as on Profitt's T-shirt. He was immediately placed into custody.
Profitt was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for 4th-Degree Domestic Assault and he was being held without bail.
The victim was provided with a domestic violence resource card and left in the care of a friend.
