GP Police Arrested Man for Attacking Friend Because of "Racy" Song Lyrics
Grants Pass Police arrested a man for attacking his friend during an argument over a song containing racy lyrics.
According to the Police Department, officers responded to a reported disturbance near the corner of NE 6th and D streets on Wednesday afternoon.
Police said two men got into an argument over one of them playing music that contained sexually-suggestive lyrics. They said a 39-year-old male subject accused the other man of "assaulting" him with his music, so he punched the man in the jaw. He then took the other man's skateboard, broke it in half and stole it.
The two men chased each other around and yelled loudly, causing public alarm. The suspect was located and admitted that he broke the skateboard before throwing it in the bushes. The victim was seen by medics, but he refused hospital transport.
The suspect was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Physical Harassment, 2nd-Degree Criminal Mischief, Disorderly Conduct and Petty Theft. He was being held without bail. The victim told officers he would search for his skateboard pieces and bring them to the police station for photographs.
