GP Police Incarcerated Man for Breaking into House in Northeast Part of City
Grants Pass Police jailed a man last weekend for breaking into a house in the northeast part of the city.
The Police Department reports officers arrested the 36-year-old male subject for the incident at a home in the 900-block of NE 10th Street on Sunday at 1:41 a.m..
Police officers responded to a burglary in progress and found a male occupant had detained the suspect in the front garden portion of his residence. They said the occupant's wife was awakened from her sleep by a man standing at the edge of their bed in the master bedroom.
The husband attempted to escort the intruder out of the house -- but he refused to leave and shoved the husband, causing a physical disturbance that made holes in the wall, displaced a mirror and dislodged the framed glass glazing from the front door. During the altercation, the husband sustained physical injuries including cuts, scrapes, limited mobility and a high register on the pain scale.
According to the report, damage to the home was estimated to be over $1,500.
The suspect invoked his right to remain silent and did not provide a statement. He was lodged at the Josephine County Jail on felony charges of 1st-Degree Burglary and Criminal Mischief plus a misdemeanor charge of 4th-Degree Assault.
