GP Police Incarcerated Male Transient for Trespassing & Acting Aggressively

Grants Pass Police arrested a male transient this week for trespassing on railroad property and acting aggressively toward law enforcement.

According to the Police Department, officers responded to a trespassing complaint near the railroad tracks in the 400-block of NW F Street behind American Medical Response late Thursday night.

Police said AMR employees called 9-1-1 regarding a man making unreasonable noise on the railroad property next to their headquarters. Dispatchers advised they could hear the man yelling that he was going to kill someone along with some other vulgar statements.

Responding officers contacted the 30-year-old man near Debo Park and he began acting aggressively toward them. A brief struggle took place before they placed him into custody.

The suspect was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Disorderly Conduct and Criminal Trespass. He was being held without bail.
