Deputies Snared Man for Allegedly Trespassing & Threatening Others in Selma

The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested a man for allegedly trespassing on a remote property in the Selma area last weekend.

According to the Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a trespassing complaint in the 500-block of Squaw Mountain Road on Sunday at about 5:45 p.m..

Deputies said they received a call regarding a male subject who broke a front door and entered a home without permission. Once inside, the caller advised the man threatened them with his dog and told them he would kill them. Both the caller and her husband were armed, so the intruder left the house and returned to his property.

Upon arrival, deputies contacted 71-year-old Jose Antonio Curtis in his driveway.

Curtis was placed into custody, transported to Grants Pass and lodged in jail for 1st-Degree Criminal Trespass. He was being held without bail.
