GP Police Apprehended Trespassers at Two Local Parks After Hours

In two separate cases, Grants Pass Police officers arrested two suspects during park checks.

On Tuesday just before midnight, officers contacted Robert Tiefenback at Kesterson Park, 109 NE Evelyn Avenue. He was found to have an active warrant for his arrest. Tiefenback was taken into custody and lodged in the Josephine County Jail on his Meth Possession warrant.

Early the next morning, during an area check at Morrison Centennial Park, 1187 Rogue River Highway, officers contacted three people for staying in the park after closure hours. One suspect, identified as Sabrina Willett, was discovered to have an outstanding warrant for her arrest.

Willett was taken into custody and lodged in jail on her Second Degree Theft and Unlawful Entry into a Motor Vehicle warrant. The other subjects were warned for staying after hours and vacated the premises without issue.
