GP Police Nabbed Felon for Warrant & Weapon Crime after Camping Complaint
Grants Pass Police arrested a local felon on an outstanding warrant and for a weapon crime while investigating an illegal camping complaint on the east side of the city.
The Police Department reports officers contacted and arrested 44-year-old Donn Reeves Fincher on NE Fairview Avenue on Monday.
Police said they received multiple calls about a man and woman who were staying in a green tent in the middle of the sidewalk along Fairview.

During a consent search, Fincher was found to be in possession of a spring-assisted knife which was seized as evidence. As a convicted felon, he is prohibited from possessing any type of weapon.
Fincher was lodged at the Josephine County Jail on the warrant plus a new charge of Felon in Possession of a Restricted Weapon. His tent and personal belongings were logged into evidence for safekeeping.
