GP Police Arrested Man for Parole Violation after Northwest City Welfare Check
Grants Pass Police arrested a man for violating his post-prison supervision late last week during a welfare check in the northwest part of the city.
According to the Police Department, officers contacted 28-year-old Jacob Robert Thompson in the 1800-block of NW Washington Boulevard on Friday at 1 p.m..
Police said an employee of a nearby business called 9-1-1 to request a welfare check on Thompson who had been sitting on a retaining wall at that location for about six hours. He was hunched over and the worker wasn't sure if he was asleep.
Upon contact, Thompson refused to speak with officers, identify himself or comply with orders to pick up his trash and leave the premises. He was taken into custody.
Jacob Thompson was booked into the Josephine County Jail for Criminal Trespass and Offensive Littering along with the resulting Parole Violation stemming from previous convictions for Resisting Arrest, Escape and Disorderly Conduct. He was being held on a no-bail detainer.
