GP Police Jailed Man on Texas and Local Warrants after City Park Patrol Check

Grants Pass Police jailed a man wanted on out-of-state and local warrants after a city park patrol check this week.

The Police Department reports officers arrested the 42-year-old man at Lawnridge Park on NW Hawthorne Avenue on Monday morning.

Police said they contacted the man for an observed ordinance violation and learned that he was wanted on a Bexar County, Texas, felony warrant for 2nd-Degree Assault on a Family Member.

The suspect was also wanted on two Josephine County warrants -- one containing a secret indictment for Felony Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants and the other for failing to appear in court for 2nd-Degree Criminal Trespass. He was lodged in jail and faces possible extradition to send him back to San Antonio.

According to the report, uncapped needles were located inside the man's tent and they were properly disposed of.
