GP Shopping Center Patrol Check Led to Arrest of Burglary & Vandalism Suspect
A routine patrol check at the Grants Pass Shopping Center this week led to the apprehension of a man wanted for his role in an ongoing criminal investigation.
The Grants Pass Police Department reports officers arrested 42-year-old Gabriel Feliciano outside Rite Aid late Tuesday night.
Police said they spotted Feliciano and were aware that he was wanted for a recent burglary and vandalism incident. They said he was wearing the same clothing, shoes and backpack that were observed in video surveillance of the incident. He initially identified himself as "Jonathan," but admitted his true identity during questioning.
During a consent search of Feliciano's backpack, officers found wire cutters and stolen items that were seized and logged into evidence.
Feliciano was lodged at the Josephine County Jail on felony charges of 1st-Degree Burglary and 1st-Degree Criminal Mischief as well as misdemeanor charges of 2nd-Degree Theft and 1st-Degree Criminal Trespass. He was being held without bail.
