Deputies said the property owner reported that people were camping on his land behind the Dollar General store and he wanted them removed. One of the squatters contacted was Berry who was wanted on a Grants Pass warrant for failing to appear in court for Probation Violation as well as a Medford warrant for failing to appear in court for Furnishing False Information to Police.
Berry was placed into custody, transported to Grants Pass and lodged at the Josephine County Jail on the warrants. He was being held on $40,000 bail.
Berry and two other illegal campers were trespassed from the property for one year. The others gathered their things and left upon request.
