GP Police Jailed Felon for Parole Violation after Suspicious Activity Complaint

Grants Pass Police jailed another man for violating his post-prison supervision after he was caught going through mailboxes in the Redwood area yesterday.

The Police Department reports officers arrested 44-year-old Danial Bryan Cook at 11:25 a.m. Monday after a call regarding suspicious activity on Annabelle Lane.

Police said a resident spotted a male subject later identified as Cook acting strange while eating an apple and drinking a beer. The caller said he was wandering around looking in ditches and they spotted him looking inside mailboxes while taking mail and a newspaper from a home in the 1200-block of Annabelle.

Officers responded to the scene and contacted Cook, finding him to be out of compliance with his sex offender registration. They contacted his corrections officer who requested he be placed on a detainer due to the violation of his parole for convictions including Disorderly Conduct and Offensive Littering.

Danial Cook was lodged without bail at the Josephine County Jail for Felony Parole Violation, Failure to Report as a Sex Offender and 3rd-Degree Theft.
