GP Police Jailed Man for Violating Court Order by Stalking Fruitdale Resident

Grants Pass Police jailed a man for violating a court order following a domestic disturbance at a residence in the Fruitdale area early yesterday.

The Police Department reports officers arrested a 34-year-old male subject for the incident in the 100-block of Saradan Lane on Friday around 4:30 a.m..

Police said a man called 9-1-1 to report a silver Honda sedan occupied by the subject was parked outside his residence and the resident had a valid stalking order against the subject. When the subject realized the protected party noticed him outside, he left in his vehicle toward town.

Officers located the subject parking his vehicle at the downtown 7-Eleven store about 15 minutes after the call and boxed him in. The man reportedly denied ever being at the Saradan Lane residence, but he was placed into custody.

The suspect was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Contempt of Court-Stalking Order Violation and he was being held without bail.
