Grants Pass Police Jailed Man for Ripping Up Downtown Post Office Shrubbery
Grants Pass Police jailed a man for celebrating New Year's Day by ripping up shrubbery at the downtown post office.
The Police Department reports officers arrested 47-year-old Beau Thomas Beard at the post office in the 100-block of NW 6th Street on Wednesday at 4:32 p.m..
Police said Beard was observed causing substantial damage to the shrubbery in front of the postal facility. Damage was estimated to be well over $500. It was unclear why the man was pulling out vegetation and throwing it on the sidewalk.
Officers contacted the Grants Pass Postmaster who advised he wished to pursue criminal charges against Beard, who had been trespassed from the post office late last month.
Beard was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for 2nd-Degree Criminal Mischief and 2nd-Degree Criminal Trespass. He was being held without bail.
