GP Man Jailed for Domestic Violence Served with US Marshals Service Warrant
A Grants Pass area man who was jailed this week for domestic violence has been served with a nationwide felony warrant.
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office reports jail deputies served the United States Marshals Service warrant on 42-year-old Aaron C. Morton.
Morton was arrested early Sunday for a brutal attack on his wife at a Donaldson Road residence. His wife of two weeks was treated at Three Rivers Medical Center for heavy bruising over her body along with cuts on the back of her head.
Morton allegedly strangled his wife and dragged her through the garage and yard of the home before he used a hammer to threaten her. He was arrested by Grants Pass police officers at the 7-Eleven store shortly after the incident.
According to the US Marshals Service warrant, Morton was wanted for Probation Violation for Personal Recognizance.
Morton was lodged without bail at the Josephine County Jail on the warrant. He was arraigned in court on felony charges including Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Kidnapping and 4th-Degree Domestic Assault plus misdemeanor charges of 4th-Degree Assault, Strangulation and Menacing -- all constituting domestic violence.
