GPPD Cleaned Up Large Mess at Downtown Park after Regular Patrol Check
The Grants Pass Police Department cleaned up a big mess after a patrol check at a highly visible downtown park this week.
Two community service officers were called to respond to Debo Park on SW G Street on Wednesday afternoon.
Police said they found a large mess including several tents, trash and shopping carts as well as some syringes littering the landscape. All the tents and garbage were disposed of at Southern Oregon Sanitation. The syringes were also properly disposed of. The shopping carts were returned to the downtown Safeway.
According to the report, Jason Whittenberg arrived on scene and stated that the mess was his. However, he denied the syringes belonged to him. He was cited for Scattering Rubbish and Buffer Zone Violation before he was trespassed from the park for 30 days.
