GP Police Snared Drugged Man Who Disrupted Youth Dance in Downtown Area

With some difficulty, Grants Pass Police arrested a man who disrupted a youth dance in the downtown area.

The Police Department reports officers responded to a disturbance at the former Grants Pass Vitality Center at the corner of SW 4th and K streets on Saturday at 6:54 p.m..

Police said they contacted 34-year-old Jonathan Robert Davis after he had been reported to be yelling and cursing at a group at the dance. They said the subject displayed numerous indicators of impairment from a narcotic stimulant and used active resistance to prevent being placed into custody.

After taking Davis to the ground, he continued to resist so officers deployed a Taser to subdue and handcuff him. He was taken to Three Rivers Medical Center for evaluation before he was released by doctors.

Davis was subsequently lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Resisting Arrest and he was being held without bail.
