Man Held at Taser Point, Lodged on Four Warrants, Meth Charge by GP Police

Grants Pass Police arrested a man wanted on assault and drug warrants after holding him at taser point Saturday.

The suspect, Mark Mislon, was observed in the Baker Park parking lot by an officer conducting surveillance just before 9 p.m. Mislon had previously attempted to flee from the officer, and as more units arrived at the 760 E Park Street location, he again fled the scene.

The officer held Mislon at taser point before taking him into custody. He was known to have four warrants out for his arrest, charging him with Fourth Degree Assault, Possession of Fentanyl, and two charges of Methamphetamine Possession.

Officers conducted a search of Mislon, locating approximately 3.4 grams of a substance that tested positive for Meth. He was then transported to the Josephine County Jail where he was lodged on his warrants and a new charge of Meth Possession.

Mislon was trespassed from Baker Park for 30 days and provided a park exclusion form. His parole officer was advised of the incident.
