Suspect Arrested, Cited for Warrants by GP Police
A man scaring people by the Bethany Presbyterian Church was taken to jail Thursday afternoon on one warrant, and cited for the other.
The Grants Pass Police Department responded following a 2:03 p.m. report of the suspect frightening others and throwing shoes outside the 741 NW 4th Street church. The caller said they saw the man walking towards the church before the incident began 10 minutes prior.
A welfare check was requested, and officers arrived to detain the suspect, Brandon Stradford. He was found to have two warrants: One out of the police department for Unlawful Use of Methamphetamine, and the other out of Klamath Falls for Disorderly Conduct.
Stradford was cited for his Klamath Falls warrant, but lodged in the Josephine County Jail for his Grants Pass Warrant. He was later released because of a lack of resources at the jail facility.
