GP Police Nabbed Woman for Parole Violation after Fighting with Officers

Grants Pass Police jailed a "frequent flyer" yesterday for violating her post-prison supervision by scuffling with officers who arrested her for trespassing.

According to the Police Department, officers responded to the incident at the north Safeway supermarket on SE 7th Street on Wednesday around 11:20 a.m..

Police said the 33-year-old woman returned to Safeway after previously being trespassed from the store. Callers reported she appeared to be under the influence while pushing an empty baby stroller and intentionally stopping traffic in the parking lot.

Officers contacted the woman at the corner of 6th and G streets, advising her she was under arrest. She physically resisted officers placing her into custody and continued to be hostile toward law enforcement while banging her head in the patrol vehicle. She was not seriously hurt.

The suspect was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Resisting Arrest, Criminal Trespass and the resulting Parole Violation stemming from previous convictions for Resisting Arrest, Disorderly Conduct and Offensive Littering. She was being held on a no-bail detainer. Her property was logged into evidence for safekeeping.
