GP Police Arrested Nude Suspect with Warrant Smoking in Library Bathroom
A man was arrested at the Josephine Community Library after smoking off tin foil in the nude.
Around 10:31 Tuesday morning, Grants Pass Police were alerted to a suspect who had been in the library bathroom for about an hour. Security initially thought the man was having a medical episode because he wasn't answering the door.
After going inside to check on him, the suspect was found to be smoking something off of tin foil while not wearing any clothes. He was instructed to leave the premises, but refused, so it was requested he be trespassed from the 200 NW C Street location.
When officers arrived to contact the man, he refused to identify himself, but a photo match confirmed his identity as Thomas Downs Jr. He was found to have a valid and serviceable Deschutes County Sheriff's Office warrant out for his arrest.
Officers took Downs Jr. into custody for Criminal Trespass in the Second Degree, and his warrant for Second Degree Criminal Mischief, DUII, Reckless Driving, and Reckless Endangering. Police then transported and lodged him in jail, but due to a lack of resources, he was released.
