East GP Noise Complaint Resulted in Arrest of Man on 3 Medford PD Warrants

A noise complaint on the east side of Grants Pass late last night resulted in the arrest of a man wanted on three outstanding warrants.

Grants Pass Police responded to the complaint in the 1800-block of NE Fairview Avenue on Tuesday around 11:40 p.m..

Police said a resident called 9-1-1 to report that there was a motorhome parked in front of his home and he could hear a couple arguing inside. The caller initially thought they heard a gunshot, but it turned out be a vehicle backfiring. In any event, the caller requested law enforcement contact due to disturbing the peace.

Responding officers contacted the couple including 38-year-old Nicholas Ryan Long who was found to be wanted on three warrants issued by the Medford Police Department. Charges contained in the warrants included 3rd-Degree Robbery, 2nd-Degree Burglary, 2nd-Degree Theft and 3rd-Degree Theft.
