Grants Pass Police jailed a felon for violating his post-prison supervision after he allegedly hit a woman at a residence near the downtown area this week.

The Police Department reports officers arrested 30-year-old Damien Michael Clark for the incident that occurred in the 500-block of SE 9th Street shortly after midnight on Friday morning.

Police said a woman called 9-1-1 to report that Clark struck her numerous times while she was lying on her bed. The caller did not have any injuries, but she had surveillance video which showed the suspect approaching her in an aggressive manner with closed fists.
