During the contact, it was discovered that the man was wanted on two local warrants for failing to appear in court for Disorderly Conduct and Criminal Trespass.
The suspect was transported to Grants Pass and lodged jail on the warrants along with new charges of Unlawful Fill of Material from Bed or Banks of Waters and Depositing Trash within 100 Yards of a Waterway.
