GP Police Arrested Well-Known Offender for Incident at Downtown Post Office
Grants Pass Police arrested a "frequent flyer" for an incident at the downtown Post Office this week.
According to the Police Department, officers responded to the incident at the postal facility on NW 6th Street on Tuesday afternoon.
Police said 32-year-old Whitney Ann Word was observed by a Post Office worker searching for what she believed to be a rock directly outside a window after the employee heard two loud smashing sounds and seeing large holes in the window.
Word was found to be in possession of $48 worth of unpaid-for postal merchandise when she was contacted by officers outside the facility. She was immediately placed into custody and charged with 2nd-Degree Criminal Mischief and 3rd-Degree Theft.
Word was lodged without bail at the Josephine County Jail and her belongings were logged into evidence for safekeeping.
