Man in Sleeping Bag Arrested for Failing to Register as a Sex Offender
A man sleeping outside The Armory was apprehended for failing to register as a sex offender.
Grants Pass Police were alerted to the suspect in a sleeping bag outside the 215 Redwood Highway location. The man, Michael Higgs, was contacted and run through dispatch where he was found to be out of compliance with his sex offender registration.
He had been released from jail in February and since had time to register. Higgs then admitted to officers to not living his registered address since January after a hospital stay. He was lodged in jail for Failure to Report, but was released due to a lack of resources.
