GPPD Investigation Resulted in Arrest of Man for Menacing & Drug Possession

A Grants Pass Police Department investigation into a violent crime resulted in the arrest of a man this week.

The Police Department reports officers arrested 39-year-old Sean Patrick Mitchell in the 200-block of NW 4th Street late Wednesday night.

Police said they contacted Mitchell in his parked vehicle at that location and they knew he was a suspect in a criminal investigation. While he was being placed into custody, a glass pipe with methamphetamine residue was found in plain view near the front driver-seat. The pipe was seized for destruction.

Mitchell was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for probable cause of Menacing plus a new charge of Meth Possession. He was being held without bail.
