GP Police Arrested Man for Stealing Sound Equipment from Downtown Eatery

Grants Pass Police arrested a man for stealing some sound equipment from a downtown restaurant over the weekend.

According to the Police Department, officers were alerted to the incident at The Twisted Cork on SW 6th Street on Saturday at 3:44 p.m..

Police said a 33-year-old male subject stole an XM radio module from the restaurant that was valued at approximately $110. They said the restaurant owner confronted the man about the theft and the man made some verbal threats before fleeing on foot.

The suspect was located near US Bank several minutes later as the owner followed him while on the phone with 9-1-1. The XM radio was not located as it was likely thrown by the suspect while he was running away.

The suspect was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for 2nd-Degree Theft. He was being held without bail.
