GP Police Arrested Nursing Home Patient for Getting Physical with Employee
Grants Pass Police arrested a nursing home patient yesterday after he allegedly got physical with a staff member.
The Police Department reports officers responded to the incident at Highland House in the 2200-block of NW Highland Avenue on Wednesday at 3:54 p.m..
Police said a female worker told them she was entering the room of a 50-year-old male patient when she accidentally struck him with the door. The patient became upset, started yelling at the woman and then pushed her with one hand.
According to the report, the victim told officers she was not injured in the incident -- but she wished to press charges against the patient due to the aggressive nature of the physical contact.
Officers detained the suspect and charged him with Physical Harassment. The man was cited to appear in court because of several medical issues that prevented him from being lodged in jail.
