Grants Pass Police arrested a man for violating a court order by contacting a woman who was legally protected from him.

The Police Department reports officers responded to a domestic disturbance at a home in the 1900-block of SW Hungry Hill Drive around midday Sunday.

Police said an anonymous complaint advised them about the disturbance in which the caller reported a male and female yelling at the residence. Officers arrived on scene, contacting 39-year-old Zachary Kaelin Porter and the woman.

An investigation determined that Porter was in violation of a valid restraining order by contacting the woman and being at her home. He was placed into custody.

Porter was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Contempt of Court-Restraining Order Violation and he was being held without bail.
