GP Police Snared Man for Violent Behavior at RR Highway Convenience Stores

Grants Pass Police arrested a man for his violent behavior at two convenience stores on Rogue River Highway yesterday.

The Police Department reports officers responded to the incident involving 31-year-old Shane Codyglen Weidman at the Market & Deli in the 1,000-block of Highway 99 on Thursday around 3:45 p.m..

Police said Weidman generated multiple calls for service by engaging in violent and tumultuous behavior at that store and the Why Not Market. Customers and employees reported that he threatened multiple people and raised an ash can above his head in order to frighten others.

Officers tracked Weidman down at Morrison Centennial Park and placed him into custody without further incident.

Weidman was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Disorderly Conduct. He was being held without bail. He was also trespassed from the two convenience stores.
