GP Police Evicted Man from 7th Street Campsite for Ordinance Violations

Grants Pass Police evicted a man from a designated campground early yesterday after he committed multiple city ordinance violations.

Police said Freedom Clayburn Walker was cited for Scattering Rubbish and Improper Utilization of Park Space at the NE 7th Street campground.

Walker was using an approximately 11-by-11-foot space that was littered with broken tent poles and discarded wet clothing. He was issued a 30-day exclusion.

John Praise Williams was found to be in possession of a TJ Maxx shopping cart. He was warned and the cart was returned to the local retailer. Another shopping cart was returned to Grocery Outlet.

Officers posted 42 campsites at the campground and removed four of them.

Trash was cleaned up and disposed of at Southern Oregon Sanitation.
