The Josephine County Sheriff's Office jailed a Kerby man for violating a court order protecting his wife late yesterday.

The Sheriff's Office reports deputies arrested 38-year-old Shayla Bee Sandau for the incident in the 600-block of Glendon Road on Thursday at 6:18 p.m.. Sandau is also known as "Ronald Leonard Sandau."

Deputies said Sandau was released from custody earlier in the day after he was arrested for a related incident on Wednesday. He reportedly chased his wife to Redwood Highway where a motorist stopped, intervened and tried to give her a ride. He prevented the woman from entering the vehicle, grabbed the keys out of the ignition and threw them across the highway into a field.

Sandau's wife obtained a legal restraining order against her husband shortly after his arrest. He was placed into custody when he returned to their residence. When he refused to stop banging his head on the glass in the patrol vehicle, deputies were forced to place him in a protective body wrap.

Sandau was transported to Grants Pass and booked into the Josephine County Jail for Contempt of Court/Restraining Order Violation. He was being held without bail.
