GP Police Arrested Two Suspects Following Airbnb Trespassing Complaint

A rental home owner contacted 911 saying the short term renters of his property saw a woman trespassing in the backyard Thursday night.

At 9:39 p.m., the owner reported the guests, having just checked in that day, said there was a woman, Brook Mack, living in the detached garage on the property in the 100 block of SW I Street.

The renters had told the owner that Mack was washing her laundry in the machines inside the home. The owner requested Mack be trespassed from the property, and wished to pursue all applicable charges.

Grants Pass Police officers arrived and located the makeshift living space in the garage. Along with a running space heater, food, and other supplies, officers located an outbuilding next door being used as a bathroom, with feces piled up and toilet paper.

While back at the patrol vehicle, law enforcement was advised by the renters that Mack had returned. She, along with another suspect, Gabriel Feliciano, were contacted upon their arrival. Mack said she had been living in the garage for three weeks.

She was arrested for Burglary in the First and Second Degree, Criminal Mischief in the Second Degree, and Theft of Services. Feliciano was arrested on two warrants charging him with First Degree Criminal Mischief, Second Degree Burglary, and Unlawful Possession of Meth.

Mack and Feliciano were both lodged in the Josephine County Jail.
