GP Police Jailed Felon for Parole Violation after Disturbance at Visitor Center
Grants Pass Police jailed a man for violating his post-prison supervision early yesterday after he caused a disturbance at the Chamber of Commerce/Visitor Center.
The Police Department reports officers arrested 29-year-old Dustin Michael Fontana at the facility on NW Vine Street on Monday at 7:54 a.m..
Police said a Chamber of Commerce employee arrived at work to find Fontana drinking from a bottle of Fireball whiskey and lighting a newspaper on fire on the front porch of the center. The caller said he was acting hostile and started walking toward her as she was sitting in her vehicle in the parking lot.
Upon arrival, officers contacted Fontana and learned that he was on parole after recent convictions for Harassment, Unlawful Entry into a Motor Vehicle, Disorderly Conduct and Furnishing False Information to Police.
After contacting Fontana's corrections officer, he was placed into custody and lodged at the Josephine County Jail on a no-bail detainer.
