GP Police Jailed Patient for Spitting on ER Nurse at Three Rivers Medical Center

Grants Pass Police jailed a patient for his extremely rude behavior toward a nurse at Three Rivers Medical Center this week.

The Police Department reports officers responded to the incident at the hospital on SW Ramsey Avenue early Thursday morning.

Police said the 32-year-old male subject subjected an emergency room nurse to offensive physical conduct by spitting on him while he was attempting to provide care. The nurse wanted to press charges, so the patient was placed into custody.

The suspect -- who was identified by GPPD as Zachary Clayton Grange Dumont -- was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Physical Harassment and he was being held without bail.
