GP Police Collared Woman on Outstanding Warrant after Trespass Complaint

Grants Pass Police arrested a woman on an outstanding warrant after she tried to walk away from officers at a local convenience store yesterday.

The Police Department reports officers responded to a trespassing complaint involving 31-year-old Whitney Ann Word at EZ Wash Laundromat on SW G Street at 10:05 a.m. Thursday.

Police said the laundromat manager called 9-1-1 to report that Word was loitering at the business and acting weirdly, which was scaring customers. They contacted her at the nearby C & D Market and discovered that she was wanted on a Grants Pass warrant for failing to appear in court for Criminal Trespass.

Word walked away from officers at the market and did not stop until she reached the tennis courts at Westholm Park. That's where she was placed into custody and then lodged at the Josephine County Jail on the warrant. She was also trespassed from the laundromat.
