OSP Arrested Man for Causing Thursday Night Disturbance at Wolf Creek Inn
The Oregon State Police arrested a Josephine County man for allegedly causing a disturbance at the Wolf Creek Inn last night.
According to OSP, troopers responded to the incident at the historic lodge in the 100-block of Front Street in Wolf Creek on Thursday around 7:50 p.m..
Troopers said a motel employee called 9-1-1 to report a male subject who was later identified as 47-year-old Travis Lee Blondell was harassing a guest. The caller said the subject confronted him when he went outside to check on his whereabouts.
Blondell reportedly approached the employee in an aggressive manner, resulting in the employee striking the suspect with an ASP baton in self-defense. The suspect fled the scene and was located across the street, uninjured and highly intoxicated.
Blondell was placed into custody, transported to Grants Pass and lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Disorderly Conduct and Criminal Trespass. He was being held without bail.
