GP Police Jailed Felon for Parole Violation after Drunken Altercation with Mother

Grants Pass Police jailed a felon for violating his post-prison supervision after he got into a weekend altercation with his mother.

The Police Department reports officers arrested 44-year-old Christian Anthony Bartell for the incident at a home in the 1,000-block of SE Park Plaza Drive on Saturday at 2:11 a.m..

Police said the 9-1-1 Dispatch Center received a call from that address, dispatchers heard a woman yelling and the line disconnected. Officers rushed to the scene to find that Bartell had been engaged in a violent argument with his mother, but no one was hurt.

Officers said Bartell displayed multiple indicators of impairment by alcohol, which is a direct violation of the terms of his parole stemming from previous convictions for Felony 4th-Degree Assault, Strangulation, Menacing and Felony Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants.

Christian Bartell was placed into custody and lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Parole Violation. He was being held on a no-bail detainer.
