SE GP Domestic Complaint Led to Man being Collared on Local DUII Warrant
A southeast Grants Pass domestic complaint last night led to a man being arrested on an outstanding warrant for impaired driving.
The Police Department reports officers responded to the incident in the 100-block of SE Aztec Drive on Monday around 10 p.m..
Police said a woman called 9-1-1 to report her husband left their house in a vehicle after a domestic disturbance. The caller stated that her husband had been drinking and he drove away in a Chevrolet Silverado to purchase more beer. She was concerned the disturbance might escalate when he returned.
The 46-year-old man returned a short time later, but he could not get back inside the house. He had a garage door opener, but the door to the house was locked.
Responding officers said the intoxicated man denied driving his truck and claimed he walked to the store to get more alcohol. He refused a consent search of the truck for possible evidence of impaired driving. Further investigation revealed that he was wanted on a local warrant for failing to appear in court for a past DUII arrest.
Officers were unable to prove the suspect had been drinking and driving, but they lodged him in jail on the warrant. His bail was set at $10,000.
