GP Police Arrested Offender for Pointing Fake Gun at Vehicles from Church
Grants Pass Police arrested a well-known criminal offender for yet another incident of bad behavior at a downtown area church over the weekend.
According to the Police Department, officers were alerted to suspicious activity on Friday afternoon at St. Luke's Episcopal Church at the corner of NW 5th and D streets.
Police said an employee called 9-1-1 to report a male subject was hiding at the church with a large gun under his jacket. The caller said he tried to come into the church, but then walked off before he was observed pointing the firearm at random vehicles from a position of cover.
Officers arrived on scene and challenged 30-year-old Dustin Michael Fontana, placing him into custody at gunpoint. He was found to be in possession of a realistic-looking Air-Soft pellet gun and it was seized as evidence.
Fontana was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Disorderly Conduct and he was being held without bail.
