Man Lying on Sidewalk throughout Thursday Arrested by GP Police on Parole Detainer
Grants Pass Police conducted a welfare check of a man lying on the sidewalk by Grants Pass Tire Pros throughout Thursday.
At 4:22 p.m., dispatch was notified of the suspect. He had reportedly been sitting and lying on the sidewalk speaking to himself near the 705 Union Avenue business since that morning, possibly around 7 a.m.
The man didn't appear to need medical attention, but he was believed to be under the influence. The caller was concerned and requested a welfare check since the man had been there for so long.
Officers responded and contacted Adam Jansen on the sidewalk. His Parole Officer was contacted and a detainer was requested. Jansen was subsequently arrested. He was transported and lodged in the Josephine County Jail on the detainer.
