Man Lying on Ground Arrested by GP Police on Parole Detainer
Grants Pass Police arrested a man that was lying on the ground at the request of his parole officer.
Dispatch was notified of a man lying near the sidewalk at the corner of Ringuette Street and Union Avenue Tuesday at 4:43 p.m. The caller, having just driven by, reported the man looked like he was wearing scrubs and had a Band-Aid on his arm.
The caller requested officers conduct a welfare check on the man. Officers arrived, contacted Jake Thompson, and then notified his parole officer. A detainer was requested, so Thompson was taken into custody.
He had been released from Three Rivers Medical Center before being found on the ground. Officers transported and lodged Thompson in the Josephine County Jail on his detainer.
