GP Police Collared Man on State Felony Warrant while Performing Welfare Check

Grants Pass Police apprehended a man wanted on a statewide felony warrant while performing a welfare check in the downtown area this week.

The Police Department reports officers arrested 32-year-old Timothy Rain Davis in the 900-block of SW 5th Street on Monday.

Police said a resident in that area called 9-1-1 to report a man and woman who looked highly intoxicated. The caller said the pair were in the nook of the yellow building called The Club Burner and looked like they might be about to fall over.

Upon arrival, officers contacted Davis and his female companion who was identified only as "Wilson," with drug paraphernalia scattered around them. Both were detained and the drug items were seized for destruction.

A routine records check revealed that Davis was wanted on an Oregon Department of Corrections warrant out of Deer Ridge for a transitional leave violation. He was lodged at the Josephine County Jail on a no-bail detainer.
