Deputies Jailed Man for Causing Disturbance and Kicking at Them at CJ Home

The Josephine County Sheriff's Office jailed a man for causing a disturbance and then scuffling with deputies in Cave Junction last night.

The Sheriff's Office reports deputies eventually arrested 64-year-old David Leo Alexander for the incident in the 200-block of West River Street on Thursday at 8:20 p.m..

Police said a citizen called 9-1-1 to report that Alexander was at their home trying to pick a fight. They found the man lying on their car and when they asked him to leave, he became belligerent. The caller further stated the man kept coming onto their property and that he fell onto and broke their fence.

According to the report, the caller's husband punched Alexander when Alexander tried to punch him. The suspect was lying in the roadway when deputies arrived on scene. He was placed into custody and hobbled because he was attempting to kick deputies as well as the door of the patrol vehicle.

Alexander was transported to Grants Pass and lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Felony Attempt to Assault a Peace Officer and Disorderly Conduct. He was being held without bail.
