Officers Respond to Restraining Order Violation, Lodge Man in Jail for Burglary

Grants Pass Police arrested a man Sunday after he violated a restraining order against him.

The suspect, Travis Gearlds, reportedly broke into the caller's home without her knowledge in the 300 block of SW Bridge Street around 11:44 a.m. He was restrained from both the property and the caller, who told dispatch Gearlds had yelled at her and asked for his keys.

She locked him out, and said he was leaving the property on foot. It was unclear which direction he went, but officers were able to contact and detain him near a Dollar General where he was found walking his dog.

Officers arrested Gearlds for Contempt of Court and First Degree Burglary. He was subsequently lodged in the Adult Jail Facility around 1:06 p.m.
