Deputies Jailed Man for Violating Court Order by Visiting Williams Family Home

The Josephine County Sheriff's Office jailed a man for violating a court order by visiting his parents' property in the Williams area over the weekend.

The Sheriff's Office reports deputies arrested 39-year-old William George Muir for the incident in the 900-block of Tetherow Road on Saturday around 10:30 a.m..

Deputies said a person from that address called 9-1-1 to report that their son "Billy" was back on the property and hiding in a shed despite a court order protecting them from him. They arrived on scene and placed him into custody.

Muir was first arrested for violence against his family on July 19th of last year. He was arrested again on September 13th for Menacing and Criminal Mischief, and on October 5th and December 15th for Contempt of Court. On Friday, a neighbor reported that he stole a wedding ring from her house.

William "Billy" Muir was transported to Grants Pass and lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Contempt of Court-Restraining Order Violation. He was being held without bail.
