GP Police Lodge Man Camping by Railroad for Failure to Register, Trespass
Grants Pass Police arrested a man on trespass and failure to register charges after checking on an encampment near the railroad Monday.
Law enforcement located the suspect walking on the tracks near NW Sun View Place and NW Native Run Loop. He was contacted and identified as Jason Williams, and officers learned he was out of compliance with his sex offender registration.
Williams advised officers he was no longer living at his last listed residence, and he was promptly arrested. Police transported Williams to the Josephine County Jail where he was lodged for crimes of Felony Failure to Register as a Sex Offender, and Criminal Trespass in the First Degree.
He was trespassed from the railroad property and provided with a property receipt for his backpack. Due to a lack of jail resources, he was later released.
