GP Police Jailed Man for Drug & Probation Violations after "Suspicious Activity"

Grants Pass Police jailed a frequent offender for drug and probation violations yesterday following a report of suspicious activity near a downtown barber shop.

The Police Department reports officers arrested 31-year-old Mark Jeffrey Mislon behind Rogue Barbers in the 700-block of NW 6th Street at 1:08 p.m. Thursday.

Police said they responded to a report of three male subjects who went behind the shop. They contacted two subjects identified as "Kane" and "Brennan," warning them for trespassing. The third subject was identified as Mislon.

Officers said Mislon was "extremely impaired" by a narcotic stimulant. During a consent search, he was found with a small amount of methamphetamine -- which was seized for destruction. His corrections officer was notified about the incident.

Mislon was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Meth Possession and the resulting Felony Probation Violation. He was being held on a no-bail detainer.

Jail records show Mislon has been arrested for violating his probation seven times since June 2024.
