GP Police Jailed Felon for Parole Violation after Stealing from Local Supermarket

Grants Pass Police jailed a felon for violating his post-prison supervision this week after he was caught stealing hundreds of dollars' worth of merchandise from a local supermarket.

The Police Department reports officers arrested 58-year-old Jack Lee Osborne for the incident at WinCo Foods on NE Terry Lane on Monday afternoon.

Police said Osborne filled a grocery cart full of items valued at nearly $450 and went past all points of sale while making no attempt to pay for the stolen property. They said he was detained by loss prevention and placed into custody by officers.

Jack Osborne was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for 2nd-Degree Theft and the resulting Parole Violation stemming from a 2017 conviction for four counts of 1st-Degree Forgery and eight counts of Mail Theft. He was being held on a no-bail detainer.
