GP Police Arrested Man for Causing 2 Weekend Disturbances at City Park
Grants Pass Police arrested a man for causing two weekend disturbances at or near a city park.
According to the Police Department, the first incident occurred on Friday at 2:11 p.m. when officers were alerted to a fight between three subjects including 45-year-old Jeffrey Brian Madden in the 6th Street intersection near Kesterson Park.
Police said a man and woman were approaching Madden and it appeared they were going to fight with him. They said Madden raised his skateboard in a defensive posture before leaving the area. All three subjects were warned for their behavior and blocking traffic.
About two hours later, officers responded to a second disturbance at the city park and saw Madden fleeing the area. He ran into a parking lot off NE 7th Street near an office building. He was spotted emerging from an alley and was arrested.
Madden was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Disorderly Conduct and was being held without bail. He was also trespassed from Kesterson Park for 30 days. His belongings were located and logged into evidence for safekeeping.
