Numerous Calls Regarding Suspect Walking In Street Lead to Arrest
The 911 Dispatch Center received numerous calls about the same suspect walking in the street Thursday afternoon.
The first caller reported around 4:45 p.m. that an older man was walking into traffic at the corner of NW 6th Street and NE F Street. The caller had almost struck the male suspect while driving before the call was made.
Another call came in to dispatch advising the same suspect was near the post office, then a third caller reported the man was waving his hands and continuing to walk back and forth in front of traffic, despite having no legal right of way.
Yet another call to dispatch said the suspect was continuing to walk into the street in front of the Wells Fargo. According to the caller, the suspect would wait until traffic was coming, then walk right in front of the vehicles.
The suspect was contacted by a Grants Pass Police officer with assistance from Oregon State Police. He didn't identify himself to law enforcement, but the officer knew him from prior knowledge.
Travis Davenport was placed under arrest for Second Degree Disorderly Conduct, and lodged in the Josephine County Jail.
