GP Police Jailed Teen for Probable Cause of Domestic Violence at SE Home

Grants Pass Police jailed a young man for probable cause of domestic violence after responding to a disturbance in the southeast part of the city this week.

The Police Department reports officers were alerted to a domestic disturbance at a home in the 1400-block of Florence Lane late Tuesday afternoon.

Police said a woman called 9-1-1 to report that an 18-year-old former roommate had returned to the house to get his belongings. The woman had been advised to lock the doors and windows in case he returned after a previous criminal incident in which he fled before the arrival of law enforcement.

According to the report, the young man refused to leave the premises and became verbally aggressive with two adults and two children who were inside the house.

Upon arrival, officers contacted the suspect and placed him into custody. He was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for probable cause of Domestic Strangulation and was being held without bail.
