GP Police Snared Motorist for DUII after Freeway & Parkway Traffic Complaints
Grants Pass Police arrested a motorist for impaired driving this week after officers received multiple citizen complaints on Interstate 5 and the Parkway.
The Police Department reports officers eventually pulled over a Toyota Tundra driven by 40-year-old Jesse Maddox Taylor in the Dairy Queen parking lot off Redwood Highway near Ringuette Street on Monday around 4 p.m..
Police said Taylor was called in by several motorists for failing to maintain his travel lane on I-5 before he entered Grants Pass. Upon contact with him, they said he displayed signs of impairment and his driving privileges had been suspended.
After performing poorly in field sobriety tests, Taylor provided a negative breath sample and refused to provide a urine sample used to detect narcotics. No drug recognition specialist was available and he was placed into custody.
Jesse Taylor was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants and Driving While Suspended. His vehicle was towed to the impound yard.
