Jack-In-The-Box Intruders Evicted & Jailed

Security Patrols spotted intruders early Wednesday morning in the vacant Jack-in-the-Box at Hillcrest and 7th Avenue. Grants Pass Police responded to assist resulting in the arrest of a man and woman.

The incident began with City Police being notified by Concierge Security at 11:13 p.m. Tuesday that they suspected people may be in that building. The caller stated the door was open and blocked by a metal umbrella and assistance was requested to confirm if people were inside. The door has been checked earlier in the day and found to be locked at that time.

The security guard, while standing by at AllCare Health, called again stating he had eyes on the intruder in the hot water room facing 7th Street. Responding officers challenged two individuals, who were both compliant, and found no evidence of forced entry.

The man was identified as Steven Elijah Robison, 38, and the woman as Rubyrose Satyaloha Markey, 30. Both were found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia that tested positive for methamphetamine. They were each cited for the drug infraction under measure 110 and then lodged in jail on 2nd degree trespassing charges.
