GP Police Snared Man for Parole Violation after He Caused Grocery Outlet Call

Grants Pass Police arrested a man for violating his post-prison supervision this week after he caused a disturbance at Grocery Outlet.

The Police Department reports officers responded to the incident at the store off NE Agness Avenue on Tuesday morning.

Police said the Grocery Outlet general manager called 9-1-1 to report that 49-year-old Kenneth Daniel Reynolds was screaming and threatening to kill people while acting aggressively to both employees and customers. A landscaper intervened and the suspect fled the area. The caller said it appeared the man was holding a knife when he threatened her.

Responding officers located Reynolds in an open field on NE Fairview Avenue. He was placed into custody and found to be in possession of a glass pipe with a crystal residue that tested positive as methamphetamine, but no knife was found. His corrections officer was called and requested that his client be detained.

Reynolds was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Disorderly Conduct, Meth Possession and the resulting Felony Parole Violation. He was being held on a no-bail detainer.
