Deputies Arrested Man for Violating Court Order after Lathrop Landing Incident
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested a man for violating a court order after a late-night incident at a county park on the Rogue River.
The Sheriff's Office reports deputies responded to a domestic disturbance at Lathrop Boat Landing off Lower River Road on Saturday at 10:35 p.m..
Deputies said they were two vehicles at the park -- one belonging to 51-year-old Amen Sky McDonald and the other belonging to a woman who had a valid court order protecting her from him. Few details about the incident were available, but McDonald's behavior caused deputies to flag him as "hostile."
McDonald was placed into custody and lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Contempt of Court. He was being held without bail.
The female victim called for a ride and a deputy stayed with her until she was picked up by a friend and given transportation home. The other vehicles were secured at the park as both drivers had been drinking.
